The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers has varied based on the fluctuations of needs. In some areas, lockdowns closed outpatient procedures and significantly reduced patient volumes.

Y’all it’s pandemic eatin’ time. While some of you are still getting no-contact delivery or curbside delivery, I’m trying to capitalize on all the groceries we bought and the meal/snack plan I made with bae. I’m not going to focus on what' I’ve been eating at home, because I really want to give you ideas for when you’re on a long-ass shift. My number one focus when planning work food is that I don’t want to have to touch it with my hands.

As the economy continues its recovery, many staffing firms find themselves back in the same spot as before the crisis–many jobs and few qualified candidates. Other firms are struggling to find new business.

Today’s workforce includes multiple generations of employees all looking for something different from their benefits package. While meeting these disparate needs can be challenging, a comprehensive fertility benefit can support everyone from junior staffers learning about their fertility health to senior leadership managing menopause and low testosterone symptoms.

I have not worked since mid March. My last shift was preceded by 10 days of the busiest I can ever remember. The waits were hours long, it being high season for colds, flu, pneumonia. I did 5 straight shifts in triage, much of it alone. One week we had no COVID19 suspects. Then, a patient with cough, fever, SOB. The travel to Asia was not mentioned until I specifically asked about it.

Volodymyr Melnyk/123RF.com Remember when you landed your first job in healthcare? You may have been excited about the future and looked forward to going to work each day. But throughout the years, something may shift. Although it does not happen to everyone, it is not uncommon to get a bit jaded. Even if you don’t become completely burnt out, you may lose your enthusiasm for the job.

Adding in the need to study for an exam or certification is just one more thing to deal with - studying is basically a part-time job when you’re a nursing student.

Cheers to another “Pandemic Edition” of the blog. As a direct result of the complete upheaval of day to day life in a post-COVID-19 world, I’m late on this post. My four year anniversary of becoming a Registered Nurse was actually in July. It’s now October and I’m using the better-late-than-never clause as my excuse. Disclaimers and Updates from NU Headquarters I think there are a few things to say first, disclaimers, I suppose.

rawpixel/123RF.com Regardless of your particular profession or specialty, the medical field is a challenge and getting through school and passing boards is quite overwhelming. For most, the focus during this time is just making it out of the program with adequate grades and knowledge.

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

I started this blog a long time ago with a post about my husband's experience with his cardiac stent. A bit over a year ago, he underwent a 4 vessel CABG by way of some mild chest pain and shortness of breath while bicycling. AFTER we cavorted around Italy. He has healed quite well, thanks, although not quite up to his own ridiculous standards of physical activity for a man 73-going-on-55.

Luis Molinero Martínez/123RF.com Job interviews are like speed dates that result in marriage. Both sides spend the interview trying to develop enough insight to make an informed decision. Everyone shows off his/her best attributes while tactfully unveiling the other person’s worst. The dance ends with both parties asking themselves the same question: Do I want to spend my life with this person?
