Mindset is Everything in Your Nursing Career and Beyond
In my work as a holistic career coach for nurses, there ' s one thing I ' ve noticed more than anything else: mindset matters to your nursing and healthcare career. From putting together a resume and writing a cover letter to sitting for an interview or reaching out to potential connections on LinkedIn, your mindset and its attendant attitude make all the difference. Photo by Olivier Rule on Unsplash.comI ' ve worked with hundreds of nurse clients over the last decade, and I ' ve seen everything from utter defeatism to those whose optimism and drive are quite something to behold despite tough odds, personal struggles,...

To Single Fathers on Father ’s Day
I suspect that when most people think about single parents, they think about single mothers. And, yes, single moms have many challenges and should be seriously thought about. But sometimes what gets lost in the shuffle is the reality of single Dads. If you are raising children alone, Father’s Day may highlight how alone you feel.
Reasons to celebrate your kind of family:
You are not alone: According to the 2016 U.S. Census (the most recent from which we have data), there were 2.6 million single fathers in America. That’s 16.1% of single-parent households. That’s three times more than two decades prior. One stud...

Nurses, George Floyd, Racial Disparities, and the World We'd Like to See
At this unsettling time in the United States and around the world, racism is being confronted head-on by citizens who ' ve simply had enough of the status quo. The knowledge of deep racial disparities in healthcare are nothing new, and the understanding that people of color are treated more poorly within the American healthcare system is also an old story that never seems to change.But now, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and rampant global fear, economic insecurity, and a population tired of lip service to diversity and inclusion, millions are saying, " No more! "We nurses are part of the conversation because we ' re c...

How to Practice High-Quality Telemedicine in the Era of COVID-19
By ANISH MEHTA, MD
My practice received its first question about coronavirus from a patient on January 28, 2020. Though there were over 200 deaths reported in China by that time, no one could have imagined how drastically this would come to disrupt our lives at home.
Thankfully, I had a head start.
As a doctor at an integrated telemedicine and primary care practice in New York City, nearly two out of every three of my medical encounters that month was already virtual.
I spent much of January caring for patients who had contracted seasonal viruses, like influenza or norovirus (i.e. the stomach flu). My patients ...

The Profound Meaning of Nurses' Week During a Pandemic: Nurses Show Up
Nurses ' Week is upon us, and May 12th, 2020 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Florence Nightingale, the veritable progenitor of the modern profession of nursing. Meanwhile, we also find ourselves in the middle of the International Year of the Nurse and Midwife as declared late in 2019 by the World Health Organization (WHO), the healthcare arm of the United Nations. Add to this the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we have a recipe for a very profound moment when it comes to nurses and the nursing profession in this global context.Photo by Anna Shvets from Pexels.comThe International Year of the Nurse and Mid...

How to Really Relax Right Now
For most of us, it’s tough to relax in the best of circumstances—that is, when we have the same routines, a commute that provides solo time, childcare, date nights, and other comforting rituals.
But when we’re in the midst of a pandemic, winding down can feel impossible. Your mind might be ruminating about all kinds of fears: fear of the unknown, your health, your loved ones’ health, your financial situation, and the economic future of the country, said Lisa M. Schab, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker in the greater Chicago area.
You also might be struggling with juggling work, caring for your kids, and helpi...

COVID-19: Private Practitioners Report on Office Closures and Telepractice
As schools and businesses shut down the week of March 16 in response to social distancing and shelter-in-place directives related to COVID-19, private practitioners put the brakes on in-person treatment. To keep their services going in this uncertain time, many have embraced telepractice—a new medium for some.
State and individual payer regulations vary on telepractice coverage; check state and payer websites regularly for updated information. ASHA is continually updating webpages on telepractice and COVID-19 (also listed below in the resources section), and has also released new guidance on providing private-pay servi...

COVID-19, Nurses, and Staying Informed in Trying Times
Greetings from Nurse Keith Nation HQ here in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I ' m spending the majority of my waking hours monitoring the COVID-19 situation closely in order to inform myself and my online tribe of nurses and healthcare professionals. Like many others, I ' m doing my best to stay up-to-date and use my various platforms (as well as good old-fashioned emails and phone calls) to educate and inform as many people as I can about the latest developments regarding this very real pandemic sweeping the globe.Image by Arek Socha from Pixabay The reality is that this is not going away any time soon, no matter how ma...

Everyday Ethics: Dos and Don ’ts for Clinical Supervisors of Students
What if a graduate student doing their speech-language pathology clinical placement—or audiology externship—was asked by their supervisor to perform a procedure on their own. And they are unsure about their readiness to do such a procedure flying solo.
The short answer? As a student, you aren’t yet obligated to abide by ASHA’s Code of Ethics. However, your ASHA-certified supervisor is so obliged. The answer to the questions below raises some ethical considerations a supervisor should consider.
I’m a graduate student, and my clinical placement is in a hospital.

Main Quest, Subquest, Side Quest, or Minigame
This was an idea that came up in a discussion thread in Conscious Growth Club this week, and I thought it might make an interesting article. You may like this way of thinking if you’re into video games, especially games that involve different types of quests.
Main Quest
Your main quest is whatever you consider most important in life right now. This could be your life purpose or mission. It could be your alignment with certain values that you consider sacred. It could be a major transition that you’re considering or facing.
In a game you main quest is whatever goal you must eventually accomplish in orde...

Stress Management: An Act of Self-Love
Managing your stress is a form of love. It is taking a look at your life and deciding where changes could be made to help improve your sense of control over certain stressors in your life. Stress is not something tangible. It cannot be touched or held. However, it can originate from something tangible.
Stress is a state of mental or emotional strain resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances. Stress is everywhere. It comes in all shapes and sizes. It does not discriminate according to race, gender, or socioeconomic status. There is no escaping stress. However, we so often try to. The sooner we accept and adapt...

Is eye lash lift safe and effective? episode 209
It’s a solo Beauty Brains podcast.
Chemical Free RantSince I’m going solo, there are a few topics I’d like to rant about. Let’s start with chemical free.
Can someone tell me something, what do people mean when they claim “chemical free”?
I look at the world from the standpoint of a scientist but you don’t have to be a scientist to know that everything is a chemical right? I mean, that was the kind of thing we learned in grade school. Right? I know a lot of people don’t like science in school but everyone knows about atoms and molecules and chemicals right? Am I mistaken here?
So, I ha...

Spiritual People Don ’ t Charge for Their Work
Have you heard anyone proclaim that truly spiritual people don’t charge for their work? Apparently if you create something and charge money for it, the nonzero price alters the nature of the work, rendering it non-spiritual.
Is that actually true?
Of course it’s true. This rule is written into the Laws of Spirituality, not to be confused with the Laws of Acquisition. 😉
Okay, from one perspective it makes some sense, but only if you regard money as non-spiritual. Is money actually non-spiritual though? Which way you lean depends on how you define spirituality and how you perceive the role of money. W...
