Reflecting on the incredible joys brought by nurses…the silent architects of comfort and care. Witnessing their compassion, the genuine connections formed with patients and residents, and the unwavering dedication to making a difference is truly heartwarming. We found this great article titled “Life Changing Moments in Nursing,” where nurses reflect on the beautiful moments they’ve experienced while being a nurse. It’s a quick read sure to brighten your day: https://lnkd.in/eFEKRDS9

America’s nursing shortage is in need of a new solution, which inspired Professor Edmund J. Y. Pajarillo, PhD, RN-BC, CPHQ, NEA-BC, ANEF, FAAN, to find one. Read what he and other nurse educators recommend to support the nursing workforce by increasing the number of nurse educators: https://ow.ly/lWph50QRguU #AdelphiM2

What a thought-provoking perspective for Nurses Week! Kaija Freborg DNP-TCN, RN, NC-BC underscores the vital importance of self-care and self-compassion in nursing. "We allow the voices of others and their needs to drown out our own—to the point that we may even struggle to identify our own needs or sense of self. Who am I, if I am not a care giver?"  As Nurse's Week is nearing the end, let's take time to give ourselves space to explore how we can give ourselves space to "dissolve our perfectionism" and " embrace our flaws and vulnerability." #nursesonlinkedin #nurseburnoutprevention #thenursesabbatical

This article is behind a paywall, but it's remarkably timely and important. Nursing has an obligation, both to the medical community and (more importantly) our patients, to fix these issues in nursing education that we have allowed to culminate in a crisis. As a former NP student, I can attest to the poor standards and lack of rigor - these are the reasons that I decided to not pursue an APRN licensure. It's time for a real discussion among nurses about how best to reorient nursing education to improve outcomes and save lives. https://lnkd.in/gEvEgd_2

This article was interesting and has some valid points (ex NP education does require fewer clinical hours than MDs and DOs). However, much of the "evidence" of poor care was anecdotal and not necessarily indicative of a larger issue. Personally, I think the article and unnecessary battle between providers misses the mark. The larger and more damaging issue is a healthcare system that forces providers to provide comprehensive medical care in too little time. As expectations for care continue to increase due to technology advances, the time allotted to actually care for people decreases. Our healthcare system continues to prioritize profits and forces clinicians to practice in care models that do not optimize the chances of good outcomes. Many clinicians give up much of their personal time with their families to compensate for this gap in needed vs allotted time, which isn't a sustainable ask. #nursepractitioner

The business of healthcare and nursing education are both influencing these issues. I have been a nurse for almost 23 years, 11 of those years as first a diploma nursing graduate then as an RN- BSN graduate. I have served as a preceptor to many NP students and also teach clinical at the undergraduate level. My perspective is frontline.    - Healthcare is a brutal, emotionally taxing, and at times personality altering profession. I have always been a staunch nursing advocate even as a Nurse Practitioner. We have to understand what nursing has evolved into, it is the most abusive relationship you will ever be in. The business of healthcare has lifted nursing on a pedestal on their IG stories, commercials, and other media production. Ask a nurse if they feel that from the core… do they feel supported, heard or protected, most would say no. Yes there are unit managers out there turning themselves inside out to make a difference, but the non clinical administration push back on everything. Never mind the abuse nurses are being subjected to daily, physical emotional from patients and their families… No wonder every nurse wants to run away. Nurses including advanced practice nurses need a seat at the highest levels of the business of healthcare.         - The nursing education system is just another part of these complex problems. It is a problem as a profession that can be fixed by US. Graduate advanced practice degrees in nursing should have strict standards. If you are advancing your nursing career to an advanced practice level, you should have mastered that most basic level. You should have to have completed a standardized amount of time as a nurse. This is where we are going to debate… and that’s appropriate - that’s what we should do as a profession. You should have to have experience in certain specialty advanced practice degrees, such as behavioral health, or pediatrics. PUT THE NURSE BACK INTO NURSE PRACTITIONER.     - One more point on our education, educators please please please stop telling undergraduate nursing students that they should return to school to be a NP! They will never learn to respect the job that is so important for the advancement of healthcare. The healthcare industry stands on the shoulders of nursing, they should be proud, understand and know that they are IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY!!! I understand that nursing programs are underfunded, we need to change that! There are so many more views that I have about this, but as a profession we hold the power to change how we educate each other and how we advocate for each other at all levels of education.

One of the most important tenets of the nursing community is caring. To practice like a nurse, you must think and care like a nurse. Can you teach caring? Yes, you can! Use Swanson's Framework of Caring as a guide: https://lnkd.in/gXSz3Wv9 This framework should be used every semester in clinical settings as a reminder and reinforcement of a nurse's behaviors when exhibiting caring to his or her patient.
