If someone wants to talk to you and calls your cell phone, you can ignore the phone call and send it to voicemail. If they want to talk in person, we don’t need to answer the door.

Networking is standard among many professionals, but nurses aren’t generally natural or willing networkers. Many nurses go to work, serve their patients, collaborate with their colleagues, and even save lives along the way, and then they understandably want to go home to their families. When you want to nurture and develop your nursing career and create new opportunities for yourself , meeting people and making connections can be essential keys to your future.

Good vision is an essential aspect of carrying out nursing tasks effectively. Nurses are responsible for providing care to patients through tasks like administering medication and coordinating various treatments. To accomplish this with precision and accuracy, nurses rely heavily on their vision to assess, monitor, and communicate with patients. Without good vision, nurses may face challenges in carrying out their duties and may compromise the safety and well-being of their patients.

Working as a travel nurse while living in an RV is a great way to bring your home with you wherever you go. There are a lot of reasons people may decide to live in an RV while travel nursing, but a huge factor for most people is being able to bring their pets along without having to worry about finding pet-friendly housing. Bringing your pets along in an RV can allow you to travel with multiple pets, elderly pets who are less able to adjust to new spaces, or bring along large breed dogs that may

An estimated 1.1 billion women worldwide will have experienced menopause by 2025. Symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, and anxiety can be incredibly disruptive — and last for years. But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace. In a recent survey, 70% of respondents said they have considered changing their employment to better manage symptoms — perhaps because only 8% received significant support from their employer related to meno

Violence is on the rise, but so is technology that can turn the tide, as long as those on the frontlines lead the way. It’s a sobering reality across healthcare: Workplace violence is on the rise. And nurses, who are at the heart of care, are at especially high risk. In a 2022 National Nurses United survey, nearly half of hospital-based respondents reported an increase in workplace violence, a 57% increase from the rate reported in their previous survey in late 2021.

Employee expectations around benefits and workplace support have evolved in step with the growing need for fertility and family-forming care. As HR professionals, it is our job to ensure employees have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits our organizations offer and how they can utilize them.
