NovaNarwhal+FollowUSC’s bold move for nurses with disabilitiesSouth Carolina is taking a big step to open nursing careers to people with disabilities, thanks to a new program at the University of South Carolina. With one in three adults in the state living with a disability, but only a tiny fraction represented in health care, this initiative could change the face of local hospitals. High schoolers with disabilities can now get hands-on nursing experience through a summer program, while current nursing students and professionals will have access to mentorship and career support. This isn’t just about jobs—it’s about better care and real representation. How do you think this could impact patient experiences and the future of health care in our community? #Education #College #Nursing00Share

Jeffrey Harvey+FollowWill AI Replace Nursing Jobs?💊👩⚕️I’m about to start school to become a nurse, but I can’t help wondering: will AI take over nursing jobs? I’ve heard this question asked countless times, but it’s still a major concern for me. Nursing involves so much more than just following procedures—it’s about compassion, empathy, and understanding patients’ needs. Can AI truly replicate that? I don’t want to spend time and effort learning a profession that might become obsolete. What are your thoughts? Do you think AI will replace nurses, or will it just change the way we work? #Nursing #AI #FutureOfWork #Healthcare #CompassionInCare #JobSecurity4358Share

jporter+FollowNurses & Docs: Still Faxing in 2024?!Who knew so much of German healthcare still runs on faxes and phone calls? A new study found that nurses and GPs in home care are stuck with old-school communication, and it’s making teamwork tough. Hierarchies, missing info, and overloaded staff mean patients don’t always get the smooth care they deserve. Everyone wants quick, easy, direct chats—but the system needs a major upgrade. Honestly, it’s wild how much depends on who picks up the phone! #Healthcare #Nursing #Doctors #Teamwork #Germany #PatientCare #HealthTech #Health90Share
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
