On the surface, it sounds like having non-participating provider status with Medicare is a good thing. But for NPs, is it really? Medicare requires NPs enrolled with Medicare as a provider to accept assignment. That the rule had always taught me that NPs could not opt for “non-participating” provider status. Recently though, I’ve heard from several who are enrolled with a “non-participating” status.

Have you learned the art of delegation in nursing? Or are you quickly burning out and constantly staying late to chart and complete tasks because you feel it’s faster and easier if you do it all yourself? Delegation is an art and a science. You need to understand how and when to do it, but sometimes it’s essential and you need to practice before it gets that desperate.

The best practices for the best outcomes Takeaways: Managing co-morbidities is key to wound care management. Clinical evidence does not support sterile over clean technique in wound care. Nursing judgement supersedes pressure injury assessment tools. Nurses, physical therapists, physicians, and surgeons perform wound care in almost every care setting; however, evidence-based practices continue to elude many healthcare providers.

The iconic pit bull isn’t exactly America’s favorite breed of dog. In fact, it’s one of the most reviled. Pit bulls are known to bite humans more than other breeds, which makes it difficult for them to find a home.

The number of patients assigned to each nurse varies from hospital to hospital, but nurses say they are being asked to care for more patients than they can handle. If the nurse-patient ratio is too high, nurses might not have time to do everything that’s required of them in a day. They may end up working overtime or forgo breaks just to get it all done, which can lead to burnout and higher turnover rates that leave the remaining nurses short staffed.
