How is Nursing not a STEM Career?? #healthcare #medicine #technology #professionalwomen #careers The article I saw was nicely written by Marie Hasty RN, BSN , published by IntelyCare. Wondering what the AACN (American Association of Critical-Care Nurses), American Nurses Association, the American Organization for Nursing Leadership Emergency Nurses Association think about this - Should nursing be a STEM Career? Additional random thought: I wonder if there are other STEM Careers where professionals forget they needed to eat and go to the bathroom 6 hours ago but have been so busy they haven't made it there yet because they're assisting a colleague with a critical patient or having a difficult conversation with a family or checking a dosage calculation with one of the newer nurses that they're precepting -

#nursesweek2024 THANK YOU to all of the nurses who work so selflessly and with so much heart at the bedside. Because it’s hard. And unfair. Period. When I was in my last semester of my nursing diploma program, I wish my clinical instructors would’ve told me that there is FAR more opportunity in nursing than at the bedside. More so, I wish they had told me and my classmates: 👉🏼 You are NOT less of a nurse for choosing to step away from the bedside. 👉🏼 You will not “lose” your skills away from the bedside. 👉🏼 It is not normal for your nervous system to feel like it’s on fire at all times. 👉🏼 Do not let senior nurses tell you where to take your career. We are all called to different areas. 👉🏼 You deserve to LOVE your job. For anyone who recently graduated from nursing school, just know that if starting at the bedside sounds like hell to you, you’ve got options. What are you good at? What do you love doing? Where do you thrive? What do you want your life to look like?

Welcome Gen Z Nurses👋 Gen Z nurses are a dynamic generation of innovators needed to navigate the technological future of healthcare and replace the current retiring nursing workforce. They are also leaving the profession in large numbers during their first year. So how do hospitals cultivate this talent to meet the growing care demand? The newest generation of nurses is looking for a career path that provides stability, career specialization, and work-life balance. Understanding and meeting the needs of Gen Z is defining the future of the nursing workforce. Hospitals can better retain Gen Z nurses by nurturing their transition-to-practice in the first year. Through helping nurses transition into their practice, hospitals are able to nurture the caring nature that brings individuals into nursing while creating a robust workforce.

Happy Nurses Week! This week, we celebrate the amazing contributions nurses make to healthcare and society. Nurses bring valuable skills to various healthcare roles, and here's why you should consider hiring them: * Teamwork: Nurses excel at collaborating with diverse teams to achieve shared goals and optimize patient outcomes. * Communication: Nurses navigate sensitive conversations with patients, families, and colleagues, fostering positive dynamics within the healthcare team. * Work Ethic: Nurses demonstrate dedication through long shifts, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to patient safety. * Perspective: Nurses have a unique perspective on life, allowing them to prioritize and maintain a positive outlook. They don't sweat the small stuff, which makes them fun to work with! Let's support policies that empower nurses to excel at the bedside, but recognize their value in so many different facets of healthcare. #NursesWeek #HealthcareHeroes #ThankANurse
