Nurse Fulfills Dying Wish |
|
During a week when we celebrate the awesomeness of nurses, it’s important to remember how much more nurses do than “just” patient care. Take nurse Aaron Caskey, for example. He recently earned a Daisy Award for helping fulfill the last wish of a dying patient that wasn’t even his—by becoming an ordained minister online during his shift and marrying the patient’s daughter that very night, just two hours before the patient passed away! |

Planning for Inflation Costs |
|
Inflation doesn’t just affect food, rent, and gas expenses. It also means increases in the price of healthcare and medication. The trick is figuring out how much prices will rise so families can plan accordingly. GoodRx has just released a new tracker that helps estimate how inflation will affect drug prices, hospital prices, dental services, and plenty of everyday costs, from gas to toys to coffee. What’s less predictable, though, is how tariffs may impact prices. |

A Well-Deserved Retirement |
|
A lot of things happened in 1965: Muhammad Ali defeated Sonny Liston, NASA's Mariner 4 flew by Mars, Civil Rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery, the new dance move “the twist” took off… and Dorothy Kobs began her dream to work as a nurse. Six decades later, she’s following her next dream—retirement. While she says she’ll miss her patients and coworkers, the energetic 80-year-old is looking forward to spending a lot of time riding her horses. When do you plan to retire? Tell us here! |

THAT REMOTE LIFE WITH NURSE FERN |
Did You Miss Your Chance To Work Remotely? |
|
“The competition is so steep for UM. I should’ve changed years ago before it became SO popular.”
If you’re feeling like the competition is higher than it was 2-5 years ago, and you missed the express train to remote non-bedside work… you might have. But that’s okay! We miss out on the easier path lots of times in life, and continue towards success.
Whenever I tell the story of how I got into CDI, I make sure everyone knows it’s unrelatable now and not a blueprint for nurses today. But now, I always share what is currently working for nurses who want to get into a non-bedside role.
It’s not about what I did anymore, it’s about the collective knowledge of how countless others have made the transition.
It may not be as easy as it once was, but it’s still worthwhile to pursue if it’s what you want. |
