  1. I think pharmaceutical companies are largely to blame, but providers who prescribe drugs without even suggesting other solutions are also responsible. That said, pointing fingers isn't going to solve anything. Since nurses play such an important role in patient education, I think the nurse-patient relationship offers a great opportunity to promote awareness of this growing problem. That's how change really comes about: One person at a time!
  2. One huge myth is that nurses do all the same work. Just check out all these nursing specialties! The role of a home health nurse, for example, is totally different from the role of an ICU nurse. It's like night and day!
  3. This whole "demure" reference went viral after Jools Lebron posted her video "How to be demure at work" on TikTok. She is actually joking because she doesn't go to work "demure" at all! LOL Here's a video where Jools explains where it all comes from.
  4. Frankly, nurse managers end up working overtime without getting paid for the extra work. I think it's better to get paid for every minute you're on the job. Short answer: No.
  5. What a nightmare! Thankfully, technology has come a long way. I often reminisce about the olden days, but technology has changed our lives for the better in so many ways.
  6. The World Health Organization defines sexual health as "a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality." This definition includes everything from acceptance of sexual orientation to safe sexual practices and autonomy to make informed choices. How do you contribute to your patients' sexual health? How do you address topics such as family planning, STIs, reproductive health, and sexual risk behavior?
  7. Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the constant barrage of "just one more thing" requests from patients, doctors, and colleagues? How do you handle these situations without sacrificing the quality of care you provide? I'd love to learn some tips and tricks on how to manage these requests and maintain a healthy work-life balance. Your insights and experiences are greatly appreciated ❤️. Thank you in advance!
  8. If you won a lifetime supply of the last thing you drank, what would you be stuck drinking? Of course, everyone's answer should be water, but I'm willing to bet most of you would choose the same drink I would: COFFEE ☕!
  9. As a teenager, I called in sick once (can't remember the excuse), but my aunt was going to pick me up, and I didn't want her to find out I missed work, so I had to put on my uniform and squat outside so that no one would see me through the windows until she came. 🤣 No one ever found out!
  10. I can't believe parents name their kids after popular TV show or movie characters. The names Pikachu and Dracula actually exist! 😆
  11. I'm always finding things my kids have put in my pockets: toys, hair clips, wrappers...
  12. I believe in the power of small things. I'll never forget something an RN shared with me. She said it helped patients so much to take their medicine with some apple sauce. There often wasn't apple sauce available at the hospital where she worked, so she would actually buy it herself for her patients. Talk about dedication! ❤️
  13. Gotta stand your ground sometimes! This is a good reminder that we can't leave our wellbeing and mental health in other people's hands. Kudos to this person!
