They See Right Through You |
Executives at Oregon health system PeaceHealth have allegedly threatened to terminate the health insurance of home care nurses and their families after the Oregon Nurses Association filed a strike notice. PeaceHealth claims it had no ill intent in the move (it was just trying to prevent nurses from losing their benefits), but ONA sees the move as retaliation and cites the National Labor Relations Act. They’ve also filed an unfair labor practice charge against PeaceHealth. The strike is scheduled for Feb. 10.

Have a Little Respect
|
Beyond being unkind to staff, rudeness in a doctor’s office or medical center can take many forms. HuffPost asked etiquette experts about the most common transgressions they’ve seen — disrespecting privacy and ignoring boundaries, not wearing a mask, talking on the phone or being otherwise noisy, showing up to appointments late and unprepared (or not at all!), eating a pungent meal in the waiting room, and being dishonest with providers — and how patients should instead behave. Check out the AMA’s suggestions on approaching patients’ bad behaviors.

Being Happy |
Being happy doesn’t mean giving up on achieving more. You can be high-achieving, successful, and happy. You don’t have to suffer alone until you achieve something or earn rest, ease, and joy. You don’t have to work yourself into a stupor because you feel it’s a right of passage.
Burnout is not a rite of passage. You get to claim happiness; choose it. Take agency over your life.
What you aren’t changing, you’re choosing. If your environment is not supportive of you, it doesn’t mean you have to grin and bear it. It means you get to decide what stays, what goes, and what boundaries must be set.
It means you zoom out and look at what’s going on, what you desire, and what actions are required to get you moving in a good direction that supports your growth and goals and your overall well-being. With that, you are unstoppable!
If you need more burnout prevention resources and support, please check out all the goodies on my website here. Then, hang with the Selfcare Squad on IG @catalystforselfcare. We aren’t meant to do life or nursing alone.
