Nursing Home Staffing Lawsuits |
The American Health Care Association and other nursing home groups have sued HHS and CMS to block a new Biden administration mandate requiring 3.48 hours of daily care per resident and a registered nurse on duty at all times. They argue the rule will worsen staffing shortages, impose high costs, and could force many homes to close, displacing residents. HHS and CMS plan to defend the rule, stating the current situation endangers residents and drives workers away.

Virtual Reality for Real Empathy |
An Israeli startup called OtheReality is using virtual reality to increase empathy among healthcare providers by simulating the patient experience, such as when a pregnant woman learns she has a miscarriage. Empathy is vital in healthcare to improve patient satisfaction and reduce nurse burnout. The VR scenes, based on real experiences, help doctors better understand patient perspectives, with additional workshops and reflection questions reinforcing empathy. The startup aims to expand its empathy training to the US and other sectors.

FINANCE FRIDAY WITH NETWORTH NURSE |
Nurses Financial Hierarchy of Needs |
Remember Maslow? He’s back. And his framework may be the tool you need for financial success.
As I’m sure you recall from nursing school, Maslow’s hierarchy made it possible to conceptualize the intricate interplay of an individual’s psychological requirements. It allowed you to see how each of those needs shapes an individual's behaviors, motivations, and quality of life. A detailed explanation of the hierarchy of financial needs can be found here!
The same is true for your financial obligations. Budgeting for expenses like food, water, and shelter ensures your basic needs are met - similar to satisfying the physiological needs at the bottom of Maslow’s pyramid. As you ascend each level, you form a foundation, with each level building upon the previous.
As a member of TNB, you have access to a personalized assessment of your financial standing. Sign up for an account and start your climb to the top!
