Continuing our celebration of International Nurses Day, we explore the challenges faced by our nurse expert witnesses. We asked them: What challenges have you faced as a nurse, and how did you overcome them? Their truthful responses shed light on the resilience and determination of nurses in overcoming obstacles to deliver exceptional care.

Nursing is a fantastic exercise! One study that fitted working hospital nurses with pedometers found that nurses walk an average of 4 to 5 miles in a 12-hour shift. So at least a 5K! In comparison, most Americans walk an average of 2.5 to 3 miles over the span of 18 hours. #DidYouKnow #eTeam #eTeamHealthcare #Nursing #Fact #GlobalStaffing #HealthcareStaffing #Recruiting #HealthcareWorkforce

Nurses are not backbones of any hospital. Nurses are professionals who deserve great terms and conditions of work. These euphemisms, from "heroes" , "angels" to "backbones" are what obscure the fundamental role of a nurse to vague false equivalents. I do not mind appreciation, I care though for accurate representation of who a nurse is. Truth be told, not many people in the public know. Curiously, even nurses themselves often flounder when it comes to accurately describing their roles hence resorting to "backbones" and other fine-sounding catchphrases. Disruptive ideas drive change. Familiarity breeds complacency. Have a lovely weekend. #nursesonlinkedin #nursing #nurseideas #latenighthoughts

The day shift nurses have the advantage of listening to the rounds. It is not the same for the night shift nurses. Digital self-paced learning for night shift nurses may be helpful. #NICU #Neonatalnursing #NICUnursing #Nursingknowledge
