Here is the follow-up to last week’s article about the pros and cons of email vs social media marketing. If you recall, email is not better than social media (and vice versa). Both have their place in marketing and should be part of marketing your practice. Social media helps practice owners build their brand and drive traffic to the practice website, which helps build up the practice email list.

Naps are known to be restorative for anyone who takes them, but this proves to be true for nurses. A 2021 study reports that nurses who took short naps during their 12-hour shifts produced better quality care, had less fatigue, and felt more energized. Although many nurses work 12-hour shifts, extended work hours can lead to excessive drowsiness, increased patient errors, and occupational injuries for those who may be more suited to a daytime schedule instead.

Stats show us that most caregivers are adults, and most are women, but children and men also fill the void for people who need care. Caregiving is usually uncompensated and takes its toll on the caregiver, families, and the patient.
