As you’ve probably heard by now, we’re in the middle of Nurses Week, and the fabulous TNB team has curated some excellent goodies just for you. (Because nurses are seriously the best.)

Enter here for a chance at nabbing some special giveaways (more than $7K in prizes!) including some skin indulgence from CeraVe, a nursing bonus from connectRN, and delicious meals from Subway. Enter your info, and you could be one of many lucky winners!

Nurses’ Roles Reimagined

The crucial role of nurses goes far beyond providing patient care in today’s increasingly complex and demanding healthcare system. As their essential part in healthcare access, delivery, and outcomes becomes more and more apparent, it’s essential for institutions to reimagine how nurses fit into the larger healthcare ecosystem. A new white paper, led by TNB advisor Fred Neis, MS, RN, explores three focus areas to support this future: Cultural Readiness, Compensation and Benefits, and Resilience and Support. 

Nursing as STEM

More money, more attention, more support—those are just some of the benefits a STEM label brings to a professional field. Yet nursing—for all the science, technology, engineering, and math involved—is not currently considered a STEM field. Philadelphia RNs Marion Leary and Rebecca Love are on a mission to change that. As co-chairs of the Nursing is STEM Coalition, they’re asking the Department of Homeland Security to designate nursing as a STEM profession. Here’s why.

All in the Family

It’s not uncommon for the children of nurses to follow in their footsteps. Many nursing schools, from UCLA to the University of Central Florida to the University of Rochester, have featured students whose chosen career path is a family affair. But Children’s National Hospital in Washington DC takes this trend to another level, where no fewer than five mother-daughter duos work together!
