Ahh the art of nursing! Sharon McDade's superpower is bringing us all back to our happy place. When in doubt, remember that you ultimately, are in control of how you spend this career. You are the artist.

For me, that thought hits different these days. Is my canvas still the patient? Or something else entirely? Time will tell...

How has your personal journey influenced your art?

I won't lie, this quote made me pause.

I said "Jesus others yourself" in my head a few times over, "otherrrsss".... like a verb... Damn! She's good, that Sharon McDade!

I don't typically incorporate religion here, but thoughts like these open me up to it. Sit with this one. Let the words marinate for yourself.

How do we create a good culture? It can be challenging to see something and NOT say something, when that little voice inside is saying "Let me tell you how this could work better...I'm experienced... I know things!"

Sometimes, though, it's about being a sponge.

Take time to observe, learn, wait and see. You might have an unexpected outcome.

Did you know the current reimbursement model for nursing services was changed in 1935 to mirror the way hotels work, where "maid services" are rolled into the costs?

The topic of Nurse Reimbursement Reform being "an actual thing" came up in episode 7 last week with Tara Meyers King, so I'm sharing this article about the Commission of Nursing Reimbursement, currently led by a pretty fearless group of nurse leaders & supported by the American Nurses Association. Leave your thoughts below!

Explore the evolution of nursing reimbursement from its historical roots to present challenges. Uncover how outdated practices impact nurses and patient care. An in-depth analysis of the need for reform in recognizing nursing as a billable service.
