Hospital #nurse: When out in public, rather than refer to yourself as a “floor nurse” or “staff nurse” use “clinical nurse” and mention what type of department you practice in. Give examples of the types of patients you care for. Example: When asked what you do you might say, "I'm a registered nurse. I practice as a clinical nurse on the neurology unit. I care for people who have had strokes and brain trauma." This is more descriptive and less generic. If you're a case manager (or other position where 'nurse' might not automatically be part of the title) be sure to introduce yourself as a 'registered nurse case manager' and in a sentence describe what you do. There is power in words. This is one way to advocate for yourself and the profession as well as promote the diversity and depth of our role. #NursesOnLinkedIn #NursePower #nurse

Missed nursing care It happens. And it happened even more during the pandemic. Missed care doesn't always mean bad outcomes But sometimes it does AWHONN published an article looking at 3 missed critical nursing care processes in labor and delivery during the pandemic: -Surveillance of fetal-well being -Excessive contractions -New maternal complications Inadequate staffing was associated with more missed critical nursing care This is not surprising to those of us who have worked with poor staffing I sometimes have mini panic attacks when thinking about "what could have happened" But even though we know something to be true, having the data to support safe staffing is validating Poor staffing is also associated with nurse burnout. Again, not a surprise I'm grateful we have dedicated nurse researchers looking at these issues and providing solutions! Safe staffing is a win for everyone! #perinatalnursing #burnout #nursing

Medication errors are, but should not be, the most common reason for falls, confusion, hospital readmissions and health decline. #safety #health #fallprevention #caregiving #amazon #aging #family #homehealth #hospital #deprescribe #pharmacist #nurse #caregiver #assistedliving

In this episode of The Vitals, Patricia Jakel, RN, MN, AOCN, co–editor–in–chief with Oncology Nursing News, sits down with Quanna Batiste-Brown, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, to discuss the reality of racism in nursing. Batiste-Brown is an adjunct associate professor and Chief Nursing Officer at UCLA Health. The pair discuss the implications of the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing, which, in 2021, published survey findings from 5,623 nurses. The results showed that 50% of nurses feel that there is “a lot” of racism in nursing, that 63% of nurses have personally experienced racism in the workplace, and that 56% of nurses say that racism has impacted their mental health in the workplace. Moreover, although 3 out of 4 nurses have witnessed racism in the workplace, 64% of those who actively challenged racism or stood up for their colleagues said their actions yielded no change. Batiste-Brown, who is part of California ANA and helped create a workforce in her group that led to the larger ANA’s commission on nursing report, discussed the implications of racism in nursing and offered insight into how to talk to administration and coworkers about creating an inclusive community that protects employees and promotes better patient care. #oncology #nursing #nursepractitioner #healthcare #racism #stopracism #diversityinhealthcare #healthequity Link: https://lnkd.in/gwsWxYMW
