Today's Healing Healthcare #TOTD💡 Empathy, first! In healthcare, every interaction is an opportunity to inspire hope, ignite healing, and make a difference in someone's life. 🌟 Approach each moment with empathy, compassion, and a commitment to fostering well-being for all. 🤩 But HOW?! ❓ Glad you asked! Here's a few ideas: ➡ Take the time to actively listen to patients' concerns, validating their emotions and experiences. For example, offering a comforting hand on the shoulder or sitting down to engage in a meaningful conversation can go a long way in building trust and connection. ➡ Show genuine care and understanding by anticipating patients' needs and going the extra mile to alleviate their discomfort. Whether it's providing a warm blanket, offering a reassuring smile, or simply being present in times of distress, small gestures of compassion can make a big difference in patients' experiences. ➡ Advocate for holistic care by considering patients' physical, emotional, and social needs. This might involve collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to address underlying factors impacting health, connecting patients with community resources for ongoing support, or empowering them with education and tools to manage their health proactively. What have you done lately in the name of empathy?! Let's hear it! 🙇♂️ #HealthcareInspiration #EmpathyInAction #MakeADifference #TOTD #jointhecoversation #healinghealthcare #thoughtoftheday #letsconnect #joinus #cdnhealth #healthcare #physicians #nurses #clinicalpractice #medicaleducation #compassion #empathy #healing #holistichealthcare #healthcareheroes

I laughed and sighed at the same time with this joke. 😄 😮💨 Imagine you’ve followed your tips to get engagement as a quiet person, in a meeting or in your clinical area and this happens. You can’t control other people’s actions, and despite your preparation this is bound to happen on occasions. Maybe more often than you would like. As a senior nurse or ANP there’s a general expectation you’ll speak up. You’re thinking advocacy, accountability or professionalism, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen. The last thing you want to demonstrate is a difference of opinion – at the end of a patient’s bed…. Take a step back and reconsider. What are your options for your next interaction with that person? Drop me a message and let’s talk. #introvert #seniornurse #ALP #alliedhealthprofessional #coaching

The question of the day? How can a REGISTERED NURSE Patient Advocate help with your seniors? We can assist with several issues: 1.) Caregiver burnout: We understand the exhaustion of the sandwich generation and the need for a break from caregiving duties. We offer to transport your loved ones to medical appointments, not only as an advocate but also as a NURSE equipped with the medical knowledge to ensure their care aligns with their goals. 2.) Solo-agers: We provide coordination of care, advocacy, and answers to lingering questions post-visit, ensuring the senior is not left alone wondering what happened at the office visit. 3.) Prevention: For those intent on prioritizing their health with the time they have left, we focus on proactive measures. Since 90% of people are reactive rather than preventive, the goal is to empower seniors to make their own health decisions, maintaining their mobility, health, and independence for as long as possible. This service can be offered to your residents in an assisted living facility as an adjunct for those wanting more of an intimate relationship with a nurse who delivers a customized, white-glove service, who understands their healthcare goals and can be their voice when it matters most.

With Full Practice Authority legislation now introduced in both the PA House and Senate, let's take a fresh look at the results of a study comparing Pennsylvania to Maryland, which already allows NPs to work to the full extent of their training without red tape. Based on the study comparing PA to MD... 1. Nurse practitioners in Pennsylvania would collectively be able to see almost 1,800 more patients per week by cutting the red tape. 2. Patients in Maryland reported fewer poor mental health days. 3. Full practice authority in Pennsylvania can potentially eliminate half of the state’s health provider shortage areas.
