News, advice, and insights for nurses and the people who hire them.
Did you hear about the Nurses Week rock? Apparently, nurses at a hospital in California we won’t name here were surprised with a very ‘special’ Nurses Week gift this year: a rock.

It’s a powerful symbol. Every day now, for weeks already, if you scroll down the New York Times homepage, you see the same thing. It’s a very plain graphic, with just three lines of text, underneath the header “Tracking the Coronavirus”. A typical recent day’s COVID-19 update In red: “New cases”. Up...

Who still has a sense of humor, even when literally everything seems to go sideways? Nurses do! Proof positive: the entry we received a couple of weeks ago in our ongoing nurse photo contest. (All we had to change about it was the website they listed on their placards. 😉 ) Here’s the corollary: for...

Some things, only a fellow nurse can really understand. Ain’t that the truth? The stuff we go through sometimes… No matter how much you’d try to explain it to a friend or a relative, they wouldn’t get it! Not really. That’s why a good nursing team is one where you can rely on your “work family”. Whe...

Coronavirus is not over. The crisis response jobs are still there, and they pay well! We can help you find those nursing jobs. But we have to be honest about the costs too.

It’s the issue that just doesn’t seem to go away. Even now, from coast to coast, too many nurses have to improvise with unsafe equipment. Reusing masks and face shields. Storing N95s in paper bags. Even where there is now enough PPE, worries are mounting that there will still not be enough if there...

It seems counterintuitive, and it’s really not how things should work: when a health emergency erupted in the United States, health workers started being furloughed and laid off en masse.
