Not our usual topic of discussion, but an important one never-the-less – self-publishing. Why? I’ve been advised for years that having your own book was something that all business owners should do, that it helps establish you as an expert in your field, and this idea is just as true for clinicians as it is with other types of business owners.

I worked as a Neurosurgical Step-Down nurse for many years. We typically received our patients from the ED, OR, or Neuro ICU. When our patients were stable, we transferred them to the Neuro MedSurg Department. All one big happy family – the Neuro ICU, Neuro Step-Down, and Neuro MedSurg – right? Wrong! Interdepartmental conflicts occurred every day. Conflicts such as, transferring patients (the rooms not ready; the nurse can’t take report now), dumping (orders not being implemented and left for t

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

At times, we can lose heart and feel that we just can't become the person or professional we thought we could be; however, seeking our own individual path is paramount when it comes to creating a career that feels tailor-made just for us, and not just a path someone else said was the best one to follow.

All of them have “prescriptive authority” as part of their professional practice. The ability to prescribe medications, devices, and services independent of physicians is one reason why pharmacology is a required component of the certification renewal process.
