Jungle medical improv no joke For many, summer is a time to hunker down and read a good novel. Instead, I'm re-reading a non-fiction history/action/adventure book about the untold story of #women (specifically focusing on the nurses) trapped in the Philippines during #WorldWarII , "We Band of Angels," by Elizabeth M. Norman. It's a reality page-turner, on all accounts.

A few friends were with me, all nurses, and we recalled some of the CPR events we have been involved in. A pivotal point to consider by all Nurses, Physicians, and Respiratory Therapists is that a patient may die even if the team did everything correctly. An underlying condition such as left outflow tract stenosis or blockage translates into limited to no effect when CPR is provided–optimal management aside, many sources reported up to 2019 a range of percentages of individuals making it t

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

The nursing shortage is as old as the dawn of modern nursing itself. Of the 38 nurses under the supervision of Florence Nightingale and who arrived with her in Scutari on November 4, 1854, three were gone by January 1855. One was dismissed for drunkenness, another for ill health, and the third for incompetence—these reasons for leaving or being asked to leave nursing resonate in modern times.

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. Before educating employees, we first need to understand the rising healthcare costs and the financial burden of fertility care.

For many of us outside nursing, taking a break in the workday—to grab a bite, go for a walk, or catch up with a coworker—is a practiced habit. It’s something we take for granted. Not so for nurses. Our VP of Nursing recalls the predicament he faced on most shifts: He was unable to take an uninterrupted break, but there was also no permissible place to drink water at the nurses’ station.

It has been said that in business, you have to kiss a lot of frogs to get to a potential buyer. The more frogs that say no, the closer you are to “yes”. Unfortunately, we as nurses are programmed that if someone says “no” to us, we tend to take it personally. But “no” just means “not now”. “No” is nothing personal. How many times do you say no and it’s nothing personal?

Despite being first identified in medical literature in the 1940s and impacting 5-12% of women annually, medical professionals rarely diagnose Lipedema due to the lack of training and awareness to recognize the disease.

Doing this reinforces that when people have the tools they need, they are resilient and able to move forward despite their challenges. Over the past few weeks, I have watched my patient Troy advocate for himself and work hard to live the life he wants.
