Nursing Grad Students Destigmatize Stress

Nurses may be the most trusted profession, but that trust doesn’t necessarily reduce their stress. Research has shown stress’s negative effect on nurses’ quality of life, and nurses all over the world struggle with it. Two Cincinnati grad students want to destigmatize that stress and help nurses seek healthy ways to cope. Their research project offers actionable recommendations for stress relief. Which aspects of nursing are most stressful for you, and what are your coping mechanisms? Tell us here.

Nurses Celebrated Across the Nation

Looking for some inspiration? Hospitals and universities across the country have been celebrating nurses for National Nurses Week, so check out what some of your incredible colleagues are up to. The Houston Chronicle honored seven nurses at UT Physicians, including several NPs and nurse managers. At Universal Health Services in Delaware, nurses shared insights about their work. And at the University of Connecticut, UConn Health bestowed the Nightingale Award for Excellence in Nursing on six of its nurses.

Kids’ Flu Deaths Highest in 15 Years

Most kids survive the flu without serious long-term effects, but some still die from the infection every year. This year, that number is higher than it’s been in a decade and a half, with 216 deaths this season. One reason? Less uptake of the vaccine, a problem that public health experts worry could become worse under HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. Earlier this year, Kennedy canceled the CDC’s flu vaccine campaign and a key flu vaccine meeting.
