To all the students who complete their nursing programs at the end of summer session: Congratulations 🎉 Ask questions. Ask questions. Ask questions. As you embark on a new career, especially if it’s your second or third, ask questions. Use the same drive, determination and deligence you possessed as a nursing student. Why? As a new grad nurse you’ll need to expand your knowledge, gain new perspectives, and challenge assumptions. It is the one of the fastest way to learn. #nursingeducation #nursesonlinkedin #facultydevelopment #humancenteredleadership

Excited to share Laerdal Medical's guide on using simulation to prepare new nurse graduates for clinical practice. This resource highlights how high-fidelity simulations bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world nursing. New nurses develop critical thinking and clinical skills in a safe environment through hands-on, scenario-based training. Laerdal's guide emphasizes the role of simulation in boosting confidence and competency, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. Highly recommended for educators and healthcare institutions committed to nurturing the next generation of nurses. #NursingEducation #HealthcareInnovation #ClinicalSimulation #NewNurseGraduate #PatientSafety

We have nearly come to the end: of another Nurses Week and of another semester.    Moments like these call for reflection; for appreciation of the path that led us here before we walk the next mile of it. This year’s theme for Nurses Week was “Answering the Call.” As I think about what that means, I am struck by just how many examples of it I’ve seen in our senior class. We’re holding our graduating students’ reception this afternoon and I’m simply blown away by their accomplishments. Excellence in the classroom. Innovation in research. Diligent commitment to patient care during clinical rotations. These are not easy challenges for young people to take on, and yet they do so with grace and wisdom beyond their years. Nurses are often faced with moments where they must lead. They operate in rapidly changing environments with multiple priorities and sometimes limited information, all with the well-being of others at stake. It is both a duty and a privilege to be the ones to rise to that challenge. I am struck by the profound sense of purpose that our soon-to-be graduates express whenever they talk about their next steps. The word “help” comes up in every conversation I have with them. They answered the call during their time at Marquette. There’s no doubt in my mind that they will do so in the professional world too.    There’s still one thing left to do before Nurses Week concludes and it is my favorite thing: handing each of these future nurses their diploma at commencement. Thank you for all that you gave to Marquette, graduates. Go be great. 

A piece in McKnight's Long-Term Care News based on a recent Coalition update where Alice Bonner Isaac Longobardi and Sumire M. provided such insights as: STAFFING needs, including clear career paths and training for CNAs which needs to be less fragmented - : 🤔 CNA credentials vary across the country – even between same state nursing homes can differ – making it difficult for CNAs to change jobs, let alone move... without losing progress made in their career growth. 💡 "We are proposing that a national CNA apprenticeship program should be created with the specific goals of providing training that can be reliably replicated at the state level and providing skills and certifications that can be taken and applied in jobs around the country." ❗Basically we're building something that can be a true national standard so credentials follow CNAs anywhere. RESIDENT COUNCILS and the important role they play in a vibrant nursing home community and quality care. 💡 We are drafting a guide (with tools) nursing homes can use to amplify the voices of their residents. 👉 We plan to "test some of these methods in a four-facility pilot program starting in January 2024" in #newjersey (Let us know if your state is interested.) NURSING HOME RENOVATIONS... 💡 We are "working to make renovations viable for those who want to create a more home-like atmosphere." 👉 We are in the process of partnering with state and federal policymakers on the issue (and always open to others interested!). Our gratitude to Gray Panthers NYC for letting us present on their "Transformation Tuesday" call! We appreciate their engagement with us and the questions from their community. #eldercare #nursinghomes #renovations #staffing #cna #careerpathplanning #residents #policychange #longtermcare
