Dorling Kindersley RF | ThinkStock When you first start out as a nurse, you tend to be in awe of all the little tricks that more experienced nurses have up their sleeves. I remember the first time I saw somebody pull air out of an IV line with a syringe, rather than unloading the IV set from the pump and dripping out the fluid and air together. So simple!

As surprising as it may be, healthcare professionals don’t always treat each other with kindness and respect. In fact, research suggests that lateral violence in healthcare is a serious issue. Also referred to as horizontal violence or bullying, lateral violence is defined as non-physical, aggressive, hostile, and/or harmful behavior between coworkers.

There has been a greater focus on creating healthy work environments in recent years, and nurses deserve kindness, too. Regardless of your nursing position, remember that kindness is still in style. If you are a nursing student, new graduate nurse, educator, or chief nursing officer, remember that the foundation of nursing is rooted in caring. I don’t know what has happened to nursing over time, but we must return to caring basics as a nursing profession.

Theresa Brown is a hospice and oncology nurse that was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in 2017. The experience showed her what it’s like to be on the other side of the nurse-patient relationship, but she was shocked at how poorly she was treated by the healthcare system even with all of her prior knowledge and experience. The ordeal led her to write a book titled, “Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient,” which chronicles what she learned from her time in the hospital.

Medical gas systems are a standard feature of most healthcare facilities, and they require special monitoring and maintenance to ensure they are operating properly. Unlike other medical equipment and systems, their use of gas under pressure makes them vulnerable to a unique set of unexpected failures, which may not be readily apparent. This makes medical gas preventative maintenance critical to a problem-free working environment.

Long hours, stress, and worry about clients or patients have always been part of the job. But unfortunately, provider burnout is now on the rise. The most recent data indicates a 24% increase in providers who exhibit at least one manifestation of burnout and a 16% decline in provider satisfaction. While the strain that COVID-19 put on the healthcare system for over two years is partly to blame for these numbers, it is not the only reason for an increase in burnout.
