PRITZKER SIGNS VARIOUS HEALTHCARE BILLS INTO LAW | Gov. JB Pritzker took action Friday on various healthcare-related bills, including one that aims to improve recruitment and retention of the behavioral health workforce. [Health News Illinois] The law creates a workgroup inside the office of the chief behavioral health officer. The officer or their designee could appoint up to 15 members who will review policies and regulations to identify barriers that prevent workers from providing services. A report highlighting short- and long-term recommendations will be due to the General Assembly within a year after the group’s first meeting. The governor also took action on several proposals intended to ease some licensing requirements. That includes a plan that will allow licensed advanced practice registered nurses certified as nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists or nurse practitioners the full authority to practice for up to six months while waiting for the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to approve their licenses.

New Administators: If you’re considering going into nursing home administration and you’re considering getting your bachelors for healthcare administration one thing I wish I would’ve done was also get another major or a minor in behavioral health and social work. All of these things go hand-in-hand nowadays and you should also get Board certified in these in your state because we all know how unstable Nursing Home administrator work can be. This kind of experience will marry well in behavioral health hospitals and social worker positions. We have to keep our revenue streams, active too.

Just read this article that really made me stop and think. Did you know that in South Dakota, three big health systems have put together over $160,000 for an ad campaign about the nursing shortage? And here's the kicker - in these ads, Governor Kristi Noem is playing a nurse! Now, don’t get me wrong, I get the idea behind it. They want to highlight the serious need for nurses in the state. But here's my question: why are we paying someone to act like a nurse when that money could actually be going to real nurses who are out there on the front lines? I mean, think about it. Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system. They're working long hours, often in super stressful situations, and let's be honest, they're not always getting the recognition or the pay they deserve. So, when I see a chunk of money going towards someone pretending to be a nurse for an ad, it just doesn't sit right with me. It's like we're missing the whole point. We don't need people playing dress-up as nurses; we need real nurses. And more importantly, we need to value those nurses. That money could be used for so many better things – better wages, better working conditions, scholarships for nursing students... the list goes on. Let's not just talk about how much we need nurses. Let's show them we value them with actions, not just advertisements. https://lnkd.in/e2VBE5gD
