Happy FriYAY,
|
|
|
My friend and nurse writer Meg Lambrych recently sent an article on nurse CEOs that resonated with me. We should be recruiting more nurses into executive roles and board positions. Although intimidating at first, you can learn the mechanics of business. Still, your innate emotional intelligence and sense of people and community as a
nurse are invaluable to any organization.

Pandemic Doodles
|
|
|
During the Covid pandemic, now-retired nurse Karen Reep in Bedfordshire, UK, began sketching her colleagues to capture what they experienced. “I was capturing a moment; I didn’t want precision; I wanted a feeling,” she told the BBC. “I didn’t want anyone to forget what we went through in Covid, and I wanted all the staff to have memories.” The “take heART” team at Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was enamored with Reep’s doodles and chose 70 pieces to display at two Bedfordshire hospitals.

Dirtier Than Toilet Seats
|
|
|
A report from Amerisleep found that unwashed pillowcases become covered by three million bacteria within just one week. This is 17,000 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat. After a month, it’ll have nearly 12 million bacteria, 39 times the amount on a pet bowl. How is this possible? The dead skin cells and sweat you shed — not to
mention the pollen, pet dander, and hair and skin products you’ve collected throughout the day — become a feast for dust mites, bacteria, and other microorganisms.

No Confidence in Leadership
|
|
|
Nurses at the state-run Eleanor Slater Hospital in Rhode Island have issued a vote of no confidence in the hospital’s leadership, with 86% of nurses dissatisfied with leadership, specifically CNO Ann Mongeau. The nurses accused the CNO of demeaning them by yelling, cursing, and disrespecting them; intimidating nurses who voiced safety concerns; and manipulating others. The Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals is launching an independent HR investigation into the allegations.

Loan Forgiveness
|
|
|
By now, you have probably seen that the SCOTUS has (unfortunately) blocked President Biden's plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt per borrower. Federal student loans will start accruing interest again on September 1st and payments will be due beginning in October.
Follow these five steps below to set yourself up for success:
Log in to your loan accounts, and see what your monthly payment will be.
Include this payment in your budget and financial plan.
See if you are eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).
Consider an Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plan.
Once the above is complete, review your plan with a trusted financial professional.
Hospitals, clinics, and other employers can recruit and retain top talent by helping staff manage debt like this. The research proves it! Show them how InvestHealth can help!
