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

Teamwork, along with communication and awareness, can build an effective infection prevention program. Infection prevention and control is fundamental to providing safe and high-quality patient care.

That versatility also makes you a valuable per diem nurse—someone who can step in to deliver critical patient care when a healthcare facility comes up short on staff. Many healthcare workers take per diem nursing shifts or travel assignments, but there are also great reasons to consider doing both!

It is generally agreed that a vast majority of nurses choose the profession because they find fulfillment in being of service to others in their time of need. Compassion, empathy, and kindness are hallmarks of what “nursesness” is all about, and even members of the general public are likely to associate those characteristics with nurses. And by now, we’re all aware that nurses have been at the top of the Gallup poll as the most trusted professionals in the U.S. every year for two decades.
