Taking Care of One’s Mental Health

Taking Care of One’s Mental Health

First off, let me start with an apology since I have not posted anything lately. For whatever reason, I am going through writer’s mental block. For those of you who personally know me, you may think that I always have something to say, yet I cannot articulate it through an article. So uncharacteristic of me, right? By the way, here are the podcast links: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/DdrxyNi5Sxb and https://open.spotify.com/episode/6JtHGPF0qoXrRyec0OPexI?si=9bb2079f3d1148e3 Well, I have started writing about a variety of topics lately. Yet, I never felt…

Neonatal Nurse on Trial for Murder

Neonatal Nurse on Trial for Murder

Sadly, that title is not clickbait! Unfortunately, you read it right! A neonatal nurse in the United Kingdom is indeed currently on trial for allegedly murdering seven babies. She is also accused of trying to do fatal harm to 10 more infants. The nurse, Lucy Letby, denied these allegations. Maybe like me, you are shaking your head in disbelief. I should know because I felt the same exact things – maybe even more given my Pediatric and Neonatal Nursing backgrounds….

Needless to say, this impacts the practice of current and future nurses in all settings as well as the totality of healthcare. I will cite as many…

Culture Shock: It Does Exist in Nursing Practice Too

Culture Shock: It Does Exist in Nursing Practice Too

My former manager said that a nurse is a nurse regardless of where he or she practices. Of course, this partly refers to our ability to flex and float to another unit. However, if you look at it from an immigrant nurse’s perspective, it could also mean that you are able to practice as a nurse no matter what country you are in. However, the opposite is true. Yes, culture shock does exist in nursing jobs, too. Below are the…

Nursing Practice Through the Decades

Nursing Practice Through the Decades

This week marks 29 years after our class graduation from nursing school. I couldn’t help but reminisce how much we have evolved in our nursing practice all throughout these years. This post most probably will not encapsulate the true image of nursing practice for the past three decades. Nevertheless, let me share with you what my experiences have been. The Paulinian Brand of Nursing Practice As I have shared in one of my previous posts, I was educated the Paulinian…
