Words that pop into my head when thinking about the academic literature: vast, insipid, repetitive, Sisyphus. Then I found this: Ultimately, our success as a profession will depend on our ability to engage in debate, acknowledge different opinions, and seek answers through science.

Sponsored by Cherokee Uniforms Let’s face it. Most nursing scrubs aren’t exactly anything to write home about. They’re functional, comfortable, and practical – and that’s just about it. You grab a pair of scrubs from your closet or your locker, toss them on, and then get to work. After you’re done working, you toss them in the laundry, wash them, and then repeat the process.

Some people are naturally combative. As hard as you may try, you can’t always get away from these folks. The Internet is a veritable breeding ground for these people.

When we reflect on nursing, we don’t always consider the concept of justice. We may think about patients, patient care, medications, interventions, and hospitals, but justice might seem like the purview of lawyers, legislators, activists, human service agencies, and non-profit organizations. However, nursing and justice are more closely related than we think; thus, linking them in our consciousness is an important consideration.
