Premie Finds Home With Nurses |
Premature baby Ella has found a new home with the nurses who cared for her in the NICU. Born at 23 weeks at just over a pound, Ella needed intensive medical care, including blood transfusions, a tracheostomy, and a gastrostomy button, eventually becoming a ward of Nebraska. Nurses Taylor and Drew Deras would snuggle and read to Ella during their downshifts, and they
later offered to foster Ella, who didn’t have a stable home to live in. With Ella’s biological mother's blessing, the Deras have officially adopted Ella.

The Political Nurse |
While physicians are common in the US Senate and House, nurses are not — but initiatives like Healing Politics aim to change that. The non-profit provides nonpartisan support and training for candidate nurses, who bring crucial skills like listening, empathy, and bipartisan collaboration into our polarized political climate. Healing Politics
believes that nurses' standing as the most trusted profession and understanding of social determinants of health could lead to more effective policy making. Check out Healing Politics to see how you can get involved.

AAP Immunization Guide |
Here’s a resource you may want to consider sharing with your patients: the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Complete Guide to Childhood Vaccinations video series. The five videos, which range from about 3 to 11 minutes long, cover the immunization schedule for children zero to six years old, childhood immunization myths vs. facts, how vaccines work, what parents should ask about childhood vaccines, and helpful tips.

The amount that health insurer L.A. Care awarded to Catalina Island Health to help keep Catalina’s only hospital open. Without it, some 2,000 people a year would need to be airlifted to the mainland for urgent medical attention. Can you guess how much such a flight costs?

THE BREAK ROOM WITH SELF-CARE CATALYST |
Mythbusting Rest |
What they’ve told you about rest isn’t true…here's the truth! It’s time to let go of these myths!
🌈 Rest is a luxury, not a necessity. Wrong! Rest isn't indulgent or earned; it's essential for your well-being. Making time for predictable rest is key.
🌈 Rest is a sign of weakness. False! Self-care isn't selfish; it's self-preservation. Taking time to recharge = strength in recognizing your limits.
🌈 Rest is only effective if you can 100% disconnect from work. Nope! Even small breaks can replenish your energy & boost productivity. It's about quality regardless of the circumstances.
🌈 Rest is a one-size-fits-all solution. Absolutely not! Rest is as unique as you are. It can look different depending on the day. Explore what rejuvenates your soul & make space for you in your life!
