Andrew Hutchinson+FollowNurses on the No-Hire List? Big Fines!Two healthcare companies just got slapped with major fines for hiring nurses who were on the federal exclusion list—aka the healthcare industry’s no-hire list. These nurses weren’t supposed to work with Medicare or Medicaid patients, but somehow slipped through the cracks. The result? One company paid over $41k, the other nearly $78k, and both had to fire the nurses. Just a reminder: skipping those background checks can seriously cost you! #HealthcareCompliance #NurseLife #WorkplaceDrama #OIG #Medicare #Medicaid #Health402Share
Keith Stokes+FollowWhy Some Nurses Skip Evidence-Based CareNearly half of emergency nurses in Addis Ababa aren’t using evidence-based practices, and it’s not just about being busy. Turns out, women, those with advanced degrees, and nurse coordinators are way more likely to use research-backed care. But if nurses think there’s no access to the latest studies, they’re way less likely to use EBP. Better training and easier access to research could seriously boost patient care. Makes you wonder what’s holding things back elsewhere, right? #Nursing #EvidenceBasedPractice #Healthcare #NurseLife #MedicalResearch #Health101Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowNurses Spill on Safety Culture SecretsEver wonder what really makes nurses speak up about mistakes? Turns out, when hospitals create a positive, non-blaming vibe, nurses are way more likely to report incidents and help prevent future errors. In Jordan, nurses who felt supported and encouraged to learn from mistakes were much more open to reporting issues—especially if their bosses had their backs. Bottom line: a strong safety culture = safer patients and more honest conversations. Would you feel safe reporting a mistake at work? #NurseLife #PatientSafety #HealthcareCulture #SpeakUp #HospitalStories #Health110Share
Jennifer Foster+FollowWhen rules just make no sense!So get this: I’m working a crazy 12-hour shift in the ER. Barely keeping my eyes open, patients coming in non-stop, and what does hospital admin decide to ding me for? Wearing a damn yellow scrunchie. Yeah, you heard that right. Apparently, it’s “not part of the uniform.” I’m running around trying to save lives, and you’re worried about a freakin’ hair tie? The scrunchie saved me precious seconds not having to fix my hair every five minutes. I thought being a nurse was about, being good at my freakin’ job and not turning into a fashion victim. Just a teeny bit infuriating, isn’t it? Tell me I’m not the only one who gets nicked for the dumbest shit while doing actual important work. #HealthcareCommunicationBreakdown #NurseLife #WorkplaceWoes2615Share
