Graduation season is upon us—a time of celebration, reflection, and new beginnings. In the world of higher education, this happens a few times a year. For nursing, graduations can occur more frequently, as programs often run year-round to meet the growing demand for healthcare professionals. This spring, I had the privilege of working alongside a group of nursing students during a community event, where we provided first aid at a local pickleball tournament.

Pride Month in June is a vibrant and essential time for celebration, advocacy, and raising awareness for the LGBTQ+ community. We see rainbow flags adorning hospitals, clinics, and communities, and it's a wonderful display of solidarity. But as Nurses, our commitment to providing safe, respectful, and affirming care for our LGBTQ+ patients must extend far beyond a single month.

The promise of virtual care is no longer theoretical and is now a critical solution to many of healthcare’s most urgent challenges. Yet many healthcare leaders remain unsure how to build a business case for investment and launching the right program at the right time can be the difference between value and failure. For organizations seeking a financially sound, clinically effective entry point, Virtual Patient Observation (VPO) offers a compelling case to lead with.

A robust virtual nursing program should be created with long-term goals in mind, says this CNE. Virtual nursing is rapidly becoming a standard of care in the healthcare industry. Right now, while many programs are still in their infancy, CNOs have a great opportunity to learn from each other's strategies and outcomes. For Patty Donley , senior vice president and CNE at WellSpan Health , the original goal of WellSpan's virtual nursing program was twofold.

Compliance gaps are tricky. On paper, everything looks perfect. Training completion rates are 100%. Policies are up to date. Incident reports are filed and stored in compliance systems. Yet patients are still falling, experiencing medication errors, or suffering preventable harm. As a healthcare leader, you face a critical question: Are your staff members compliant in ways that protect patients, or just enough to pass a survey?

In Gallup polls for over 20 years, the public has rated nursing as the most trusted—not the most influential—profession. Florence Nightingale might say we’ve wasted the public’s trust since we haven’t intentionally translated the power inherent in that trust into influence.

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

Queer people have always been a part of society. As of 2024, more than 20% of younger adults self-identify as LGBTQ+ compared to older adults. However, many nurses and doctors can be hesitant about caring for LGBTQ+ patients. Although this apprehension is common, compassionate care begins with nurses and professionals who are eager to support each patient, regardless of their sexuality.

Introduction Uncertainty isn’t just a backdrop to contemporary leadership, it’s the headline. In every conversation I have with healthcare leaders, it’s clear: change is constant, but it’s the unpredictability of that change that feels most destabilizing.

Leadership in nursing may be demonstrated in many ways and many different environments throughout one’s nursing career. There are similarities, though, that strong nurse leaders possess. Strong nurse leaders are able to constantly evolve as healthcare changes evolve. Nurse leaders are motivators, role models, and influencers who have the ability to encourage and inspire others ( Leadership in Nursing: Qualities & Why it Matters, 2024 ).

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.

It’s National Pride Month! Although Pride is celebrated annually in June, the queer community deserves recognition every month, not just once a year. This applies to queer nurses, too. When workplaces strive to be LGBTQ+ inclusive, nurses “out of the closet” can feel more empowered to be who they are. Plus, happier nurses make for better healthcare experiences for patients and fellow nurses.

Nursing at the bedside is no walk in the park — and nurses don’t need reminding. Twelve-hour shifts , constant alarms, short staffing, and the emotional toll of caring for people in crisis all pile up fast. It’s no wonder that over 40% of nurses report symptoms of burnout , according to the American Nurses Foundation. However, it’s not just a workplace issue anymore but rather a full-blown career crisis (especially for those who have been in the field for decades).
