The author's experience sheds light on the difficulties of navigating the healthcare education system, especially when met with unresponsive institutions and lack of support. The article delves into the emotional toll of the process, from feeling special upon acceptance to the crushing weight of unmet expectations and financial burdens.

Evidence-based practice is how nurses provide safe patient care. Does academic freedom allow educators to disregard educational best practices such as active learning?

Do your nursing students struggle with learning the differences between first degree, second degree, and third degree AV blocks? You're not alone. As a nursing instructor, I noticed my students were struggling with this topic, so I created a short video to help. Check it out and let me know if it helps you better understand these important concepts!

How to solve the nursing shortage? Create access to tuition-free learning and development that gets them to stay and skill up. Here’s the proof it’s working: Across Guild’s healthcare employer partners, learners in nursing programs were 3.4x less likely to leave their employer in the last 12 months compared to non-participants.

As a #nursingstudent in Hawai’i, I remember a nurse reaching out to me about an elderly patient who immigrated from Korea who wasn’t able to communicate fluently in English. I also remember a patient from the Marshall Islands, who was receiving care in Hawai’i. In the first instance, I was able to communicate to her in Korean, which is my first language. She asked for a moisturizer that was in her purse to be applied on her face. Sometimes, it’s the “small” things that matter to our patients, along with the excellent nursing care we provide. In the second example, all I knew were handful of words in Marshallese, which I learned from one of my best friends growing up on the islands. I greeted the patient in Marshallese as I learned more about him in our conversation, and his face lit up instantly with a huge smile on his face. Those small gestures opened up our nurse-patient relationship as I spoke their “heart” language. #BIPOC nurses may “have broader and deeper insights into patient beliefs, attitudes, ethnicities and perceptions. When patients see nurses and other members of the medical team who look like them, it can remove barriers, open up conversations and ultimately improve access to quality care." #DEI in nursing is critical to patient outcomes, and it is also critical to the success of nursing students and our profession. #nurses #nursesonlinkedin #nursingeducation #diversity #inclusion #equity #belonging #deib
