There are just over 4 million nurses in the United States, and as Gallup’s most trustworthy profession for two decades running, one would think that nurses’ voices would be heard loud and clear on topics of import about individual health, medicine, public health, and the delivery of patient care. As the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, nurses’ voices should be suitably amplified so that citizens and legislators with functioning ears can hear them loud and clear, but many of us know t

Every May, we celebrate National Nurses Month. And this year, the American Nurses Association has set the tone to celebrate nurses with the slogan “You Make a Difference.” Indeed nurses do make a huge difference to all the individuals they care for. Healthcare could not move forward one iota without nurses. And yet today, nurses are in crisis. They are dangerously short-staffed and overworked.

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
