What's the uniform policy regarding shoes and scrubs where you work? Some hospitals require specific colors or styles for different departments, while others allow more flexibility. For shoes, comfort and safety usually matter most, with many nurses opting for slip-resistant, closed-toe options. Do you have strict guidelines, or is there more freedom in your workplace?

The nursing shortage is all I hear in the news lately. It must be hard to manage this crisis as hospital administrators. How are they managing it and what else can be done? -
Hey everyone, for those of you looking into a nursing career and wondering about managing multiple roles, I’ve seen many nurses successfully handle both hospital work and per diem shifts in long-term care facilities. Here’s what has worked for them: Time Management: Effective use of digital calendars to manage shifts, personal appointments, and downtime is key. This helps prevent scheduling conflicts and ensures proper rest. Digital Profiles: Building robust digital profiles on nursing job platforms can streamline the job application process, eliminating the need for repetitive paperwork each time they apply for a new position. This digital footprint can showcase their skills, experiences, and certifications, making it easier to connect with potential employers. Skill Optimization: Nurses who work in both settings often develop a diverse skill set, handling everything from acute care in hospitals to chronic disease management in long-term care. This versatility enhances their professional performance. Networking: Utilizing each work environment as an opportunity to learn from other healthcare professionals expands their network and opens doors to new opportunities and insights into various nursing specialties. Financial Planning: The higher hourly rates in per diem shifts can be quite beneficial. Effective financial planning, including saving and investing in further education, can significantly boost their career growth. Self-Care: Prioritizing physical and emotional health is crucial, with strategies like getting enough rest, eating well, exercising, and engaging in stress-relief activities. Professional Development: Continuous education is often essential not only for maintaining their nursing license but also for staying updated with the latest in healthcare practices. Balancing the demands of hospital and long-term care roles offers a varied and enriching career path, helping nurses avoid burnout and stay engaged in their practice. Sharing these strategies might help future nurses navigate their careers more effectively. What are your experiences and advices? -
A recently published article titled Nursing Team Composition and Mortality Following Acute Hospital Admission found a statistically significant increase in the risk of death among patients exposed to days of low nurse staffing and that using temporary staff only partially reduced the risk of patient deaths. In your experience, is PRN nursing less effective than the care provided by internal staff? Read the article here: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2822398

I'm not a nurse, but a nutritionist and I did a hospital internship for my career in two different hospitals. One was a pediatric hospital, and the work environment was really great. The other one was a general hospital, and I remember being locked in the kitchen helping with peeling and chopping vegetables all day long while nobody would talk to us, not even the people in charge. I am so grateful it was just an internship! Otherwise, that's a job I would have quit immediately. How about you? Did you ever have a nursing job that was unbearable?

Hi, everyone out there! Have any of you been in a situation where you had a doctor who just said too much in little time, and then they're gone? How do you navigate handling confusing or excessive orders from doctors? If you simply can't remember, what then? ask again? Even if you get in trouble, patient safety comes first, right?

Thoughts on the noncompete ban for healthcare workers?
Karin Zonneveld posted a question in General Questions
It's about time that the noncompete ban legislation came out. It only seems right that nurses and healthcare workers should have the ability to work where they choose to and that there should not be "ownership" over their license. I for one am glad to see the ban on noncompetes. What are your thoughts? -

I was just coming in here to see if I could find anything acknowledging and Celebrating Nurses' Week. As far as I can tell, there hasnt been anything special...if this is true...I have been mistaken in the past...did i miss it??? not to toot our own horns...but we have been called heros...to have a week set aside and nothing has been awarded, not even a mention is downright sad!!! One of the facilities ordered a meal we chose and was delivered by the Administrator at 2am!!!! She went out of her way to let us know that we are appreciated...not just in words, but also a token of appreciation.....what gives??? I know we have to be making the company plenty of money that there should be a special fund/committee to make this happen. Just sayin' Happy Late Nurses' Week!!! Keep up the great work in a (most of the time) thankless field.
