Hey Nurse, Got Resistance?
Have you ever found yourself resisting change? Has your nursing career stalled because you ' re afraid of taking a risk or doing something different? Change is indeed the only constant in the universe (aside from death and taxes), so it ' s something that we simply need to get comfortable with, over and over again.Magical ThinkingMany nurses and non-nurses alike can engage in magical thinking at various times throughout their careers. "Oh, I don ' t need a BSN; they ' ll never close the doors on associate degree nurses. " Or maybe something like this: "I think I ' ll become a nurse entrepreneur. I ' ll just tell people I h...

What leads people to believe they have been abducted by aliens?
By guest blogger Emma L. Barratt
Alien abduction stories are, at least in the West, relatively common. From as far back as the early 60s, there have been reports of people being stolen away by aliens — typically at night — often for various physics-defying experiments, before being returned home in one piece.
And while stories like these might strike some as delusions that would typically arise from certain mental health issues, studies have found that abductees are no more likely than anyone else to have conditions affecting their perception of reality.
Thanks to psychological research over the past few deca...

How a code profoundly affected this physician [PODCAST]
“There is a small amount of literature about secondary trauma. This means that the people who respond to trauma (firefighters, police, doctors, EMTs, etc.) experience PTSD from experiences they were not the primary victims of. I haven ’t read the literature, and I don’t know what qualifies. I do know that this is the single worstRead more …How a code profoundly affected this physician [PODCAST] originally appeared inKevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

What doctors need to know about psychedelic medicine
Frustration. If you’ve treated patients with PTSD, I’m guessing that both you and your patients have experienced frustration at numerous points along the treatment course. And it’s understandable– up until this point, the efficacy of PTSD treatments has been notoriously poor.

Thought-to-Text Brain-Computer Interface: Interview with Florian Solzbacher, Chairman of Blackrock Neurotech
Blackrock Neurotech, a medical technology company based in Salt Lake City, created a suite of brain-computer interface systems with the goal of empowering patients to have increased independence and quality of life. This latest technology aims to restore written communication in patients who have difficulties in this regard, such as those affected by paralysis.
The company’s new system, which Blackrock aims to make available in late 2022, allows patients to type text by merely imagining themselves writing or typing the words. The system uses machine learning to decode neural signals that occur while someone is ima...

We Seem To Treat Physical Warmth As A Sign Of Safety
By Emma Young
When we learn that something in our environment signals Threat!, we start to react to every encounter with the “fight or flight”, or “fear”, response. Recent work has shown, though, that the presence of someone we’re close to — a friend or partner, say, — can reduce or even eliminate this response. Our brains seem to treat such people as a powerful “safety” signal.
This was thought to be a unique effect. But now a team led by Erica Hornstein at UCLA has shown that physical warmth does the same thing. The work, published in Emotion, was prompted by research fin...

If you ’re a nurse or an abuse survivor, you don’t have to be brave
For decades, I was constantly told how brave I was and wore “brave” like a scarlet letter on my chest. Brave for choosing to raise my children alone. Brave for becoming a nurse practitioner. Brave for going public with my story of child sexual abuse and complex PTSD.

5 Things Healthcare Lost In 2021
As 2020 passed, we all thought we’d be better off with 2021, so we were happy to roll the old year off the cliff (or blow it off, for that matter). When setting expectations for the new norm, masks, some social distancing and even a subtle range of vaccines lined up were being considered… But not this. Nearing the end of 2021, we think of the end of the pandemic as a white sail gleams in the distance (and just as we publish this article, news arose of yet another virus mutant called omicron).
In 2021, we could’ve gotten over with the pandemic, period. But, (as it was famously said in the movie Charlie Wilson...
