But your life as a nurse can vary dramatically based on where you choose to live and work. WalletHub recently conducted a nationwide study of the best and worst states to be a nurse.

Thank goodness John Ioannidis exists. Inter alia, if it wasn’t for his research, plenty of the work of academic journal editors and science publishers would go unnoticed, through thick and thin. Instead, his meta-research prompts us to question about these professions and about the future of science communication. Two of his very recent papers pushed me to reflect - from my possibly biased point of view (I am a scientific publisher) – on what is an important issue also to those who w

Good teamwork is as essential to a high-functioning nursing unit as the nurses themselves. Even the best nurses can’t operate in a silo–patient care takes a comprehensive and cohesive approach where nurses know what to do, know what everyone else does, and each nurse supports the rest of the team. Despite being a fundamental nursing practice, teamwork can be challenging.

I do have dog in the healthcare fight and spend a lot of time advising people away from habits that I know are not good for them. Don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol to excess, don’t text and drive, don’t eat processed foods, and on and on.
