VNA Partnership Aims to Transform Digital Healthcare Delivery

Virtual Nursing Academy (VNA) has announced the launch of the first nationwide standardized virtual nursing education framework aimed at transforming healthcare delivery through virtual nursing initiatives. VNA will be working with the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nursing (AMSN), the Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Board (MSNCB), the Association for Nursing Professional Development (ANPD), and the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN). These partnerships will impact over 93,000 nurses across the country by supporting virtual nursing certification, and co-creating nursing professional development courses to build and sustain virtual nursing models and specialized curricula for perioperative care.*

Personality Enhancing Habits

Research shows that personality traits like openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism can be positively adjusted through small, intentional habitsβ€”and these changes can last for over a year. To start, take a personality test, set goals, and adopt behaviors that align with desired traits. Common goals include reducing neuroticism for well-being, increasing conscientiousness for career success, or becoming more extroverted for social benefits.

The Benefits of Cozy Gaming

Last week we told you about cozymaxxing, but have you heard of β€œcozy gaming?” Cozy gaming is a relaxing indoor activity that helps combat seasonal depression by fostering creativity, community, and escapism. Unlike competitive games, cozy games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley focus on soothing tasks like farming and decorating, and studies show these games can reduce stress and anxiety, making them beneficial for mental well-being. Even better: combine cozy gaming with coxymaxxing to…well…maximize the benefits!
