The months of May and June are a time for graduation. In the United States, commencement ceremonies are a very lucrative enterprise, from the rentals of halls and regalia, travel, gifts, hotel, astronomical fees for star keynote speakers (a quick internet search: Bill Clinton charges at least $250,000 per speaking engagement), and many other miscellaneous expenses.

Use of apixaban for stroke prevention in patients with an On-X mechanical aortic valve leads to a significantly higher rate of valve thrombosis and valve-related thromboembolic events compared with use of warfarin. This finding from PROACT Xa — a multicenter prospective randomized trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of the factor Xa inhibitor in this setting — prompted early termination of the trial in September 2022.

Time has always been a precious resource in the healthcare industry. With staffing shortages and waves of COVID and other illnesses, time seems to be at even more of a premium.

Courtney Genovese, RN, recalls standing at the bedside of a man whose physician was explaining a new diagnosis.

Alex Wubbels became a viral sensation back in 2017 when she was caught on video refusing to let the police draw blood from an unconscious patient. In the clip, the nurse can be seen calmly talking on the phone at a University of Utah Hospital while a police officer threatens to arrest her. She tells the officer that the patient’s blood cannot be drawn without a warrant unless the patient is under arrest. “This is something you guys agreed to with this hospital,” she explains.

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

Racism remains a common problem in the healthcare industry. Patients and providers alike can be judged by the color of their skin.

Registered Nurses (RNs) are required to maintain their skills in all aspects of their daily clinical practice. Today’s RNs are working across acute care, emergency care, general practice, aged and disability care, community care and more, and need to be adaptable to the needs of their diverse patient groups. A key in-demand skill now is the ability to catheterise individuals, change catheters and maintain aseptic technique throughout.

Growing up as a Filipino American, I was raised in a culture that highly valued family and tradition, and those two values were celebrated with aunties, uncles, and cousins over delicious Filipino food. Filipino cuisine is not only rich in culture, but it is also rich in flavor. However, it is a flavor imparted by tasty yet salt-heavy ingredients such as soy sauce, MSG, fish sauce, and shrimp paste, which are added during cooking and often eaten alongside the dishes after cooking.

Abstract Canadian Schools of Nursing rest upon white, colonial legacies that have shaped and defined what is valued as nursing knowledge and pedagogy. The diversity that exists in clinical nursing and is emerging within the graduate student population is not currently reflected within nursing faculty and academic leadership. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) nurse leaders, historically and presently, are repeatedly left unacknowledged as knowers and keepers of nursing knowledge.
