Health care and the nursing shortage are going to be BIG on the Hot Topics list for the next administration and Congress to discuss this next term....One of the primary points that I feel very passionate about is that nurses must advocate for themselves, their fellow nurses and their patients.

Back in the day when I was choosing a course to continue my education, I wanted to take up nursing (mostly for selfish reasons) but I wasn't allowed to by my father.

He had to change his perception since my sister is now a trainee nurse.Actually, my dad is not only one with such thinking. To almost e

Nurses Day and Nurses Week are rapidly approaching. I hope you and your facility have something exciting planned to honor your nursing staff. If not, it's not to late to set something up.Remember, you cannot expect unrealistic goals and outcomes. This is not a time when the administration is going to grant huge raises, or tell you they've been able to hire many more nurses to relieve your staffing issues. Even if they forgo the trinkets, you're not going to see that money suddenly become a huge budget for raises and benefits. So be gracious and accept that water bottle or key chain as a token of their appreciation for all that you do. Nursing is about making your own rewards. Why did you choose to become a nurse in the first place.? Who's life did you make a difference in today? Yesterd

Doctors are leaving primary care in droves. That's the word on the street. Even my own doctor is leaving our local health center to become a hospitalist. As malpractice insurance goes through the roof, paperwork requirements become more stringent, and reimbursement rates plummet (even for Medicare and Medicaid claims), it seems that more and more doctors are choosing to specialize, leaving the pedestrian boredom of primary care for the sexy remunerative opportunities of various medical specialties.Now, I'm sure that the reasons for a primary physician shortage are far more nuanced than I have so flippantly elucidated here, but the sad reality is that millions of Baby Boomers will begin to retire any day now, and they will all be in need of long-term primary care and preventive medicine in
