Top Bosses 

Eight healthcare organizations made Fortune magazine’s list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For.” Though not a healthcare company, the third company on the list is, interestingly, Nvidia, the company behind the AI nurse “bots” we told you about two weeks ago. The highest-ranked healthcare company is Texas Health Resources in Arlington, Texas, at 29, followed by Aya Healthcare in San Diego, at 48. See if you work at one of the other six companies on the list.

Ethical Recruitment

As more nurses worldwide immigrate to other countries for work, the World Health Organization wants to be sure these migrations aren’t disproportionately benefiting wealthier countries at the expense of developing countries. The WHO, therefore, just published guidance on the ethical international recruitment of nurses. The guidelines received input from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the International Labour Organization, and they aim to avoid a power imbalance that could harm some countries.  

Rising Violence

The National Institutes of Health recognizes April as Workplace Violence Prevention Awareness Month, but increasing violence against nurses is leading many to consider leaving the profession altogether. Two new reports document how much violence has risen: assaults against nurses were up 5% in 2023 compared to 2022, according to one report. Then, an Emergency Nurses Association survey revealed that 56% had been physically or verbally assaulted or threatened in the past month.

TECH TUESDAY WITH NURSE MANNY

Little Cells, Big Organ

Pivoting away from AI this week and writing about an advancement in biotech with the “mini liver,” a marvel by LyGenesis. This innovation involves transplanting donor liver cells into a patient’s lymph node, potentially revitalizing liver functions. This technique not only utilizes the body’s natural sites for growth but also bypasses the limitations of traditional organ transplantation, including donor shortages and rejection risks. As this method progresses through clinical trials, its potential to redefine liver disease treatment highlights the convergence of biotechnology and healthcare, marking a significant milestone in medical science.
