Andrew Hutchinson+FollowThe Real Struggles Hospice Nurses FaceEver wonder what hospice nurses really deal with?

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
