Commission for Nurse Reimbursement’s Post

NURSE LOVE, TOUGH LOVE, NURSE DISRUPTER NURSES, It's time we come together and REALLY support one another, NOT LIP SERVICE but actual action and create the change our profession needs. The #nursing community is 5 million strong, but too often, we act as if we're on separate islands never interacting with one another. To make a difference, we must bridge the gaps, extend a hand, and stand united. I recently attended a #nursing conference where the focus was on solutions and collaboration. The energy was palpable, and it reminded me of how powerful we can be when we work together. Yet, I see #nurses with impressive titles and credentials who struggle to connect with #bedsidenurses. Let's break down those barriers. Let's remember that we all started at the bedside, and we must remain connected to the heart of our profession. #NurseLove is about listening to one another, offering a helping hand, and sharing our knowledge. #NurseToughLove means holding ourselves and each other accountable, and pushing for the best outcomes for our patients and our profession. #NurseDisrupter is about challenging the status quo and advocating for positive change. I will always stand with the #bedsidenurse, no matter how many degrees or titles I accumulate. That's where we find the real pulse of #nursing, where compassion and care meet. It's also where we need to strengthen our bonds and work towards a more united front. So let's embrace Nurse Love, Nurse Tough Love, and be Nurse Disrupters. Let's build bridges, not walls. Let's find solutions, not just talk about problems. Tag a nurse who has inspired you and let's start a conversation about how we can support each other and make healthcare better. Together, we can change the landscape of healthcare. Let's do it with empathy, courage, and a commitment to each other. #Nurses RescueRN Mick Hopkins Rebecca Love RN, MSN, FIEL Angie Gray

When I had the #idea for my first #company, my father asked me “If this was such a great #idea, why did someone else not think of it?” Although he may have meant the question to stimulate conversation - it caused me significant #selfdoubt that if it had been a great idea - someone #smarter than me would have come up with it. Instead, my #mother gave me her #nursing #retirement to start HireNurses.com in 2013. We exited it in 2018. When we launched the first formal #NurseInnovation program at #NEU in 2016, we were told: “Nurses can’t #innovate, this is just a #fad. Nurses need to follow policy and procedure”. We had no idea if we could change the national narrative. By 2017, #NurseInnovation was that top #SEO google term re: #nursing. In 2017, Johnson & Johnson pivoted their 20 year campaign of #thankingnurses to #NurseLedInnovation and the #ANA adopted #innovation into their mission. We founded #SONSIEL in 2019 to advance nurse led innovation as it’s single focus. When we launched Commission for Nurse Reimbursement in 2023 - we were told it was going to be impossible to change a 100 year reimbursement policy that places nurses as costs to healthcare systems…the only degreed healthcare profession who cannot bill for their services. And today, this topic is echoing across nursing and beyond as the key factor to end the #NursingCrisis. When we launched #NursingIsSTEM a few months back - we heard “nursing is a soft science - nurses only follow doctors orders” …and yet we had over 1000 organizations and individuals sign onto the letter we submitted to #DHS and now a formal #legislative movement has started to reclassify nursing as a #STEM. It’s never easy to start something new or to challenge the #StatusQuo. So when my colleague and friend Sharon Pearce shared this inspirational post by #TheodoreRoosevelt - I wanted to amplify and expand on it. Change is never easy - but if what you are doing is truly set on creating a better world - keep going!!! #NursesOnLinkedIn #HealthcareOnLinkedIn

This week is "Simplify Your Life Week" and that got me thinking about how complicated nursing has become. For all of my nursing friends, utilize this week to think about how you can simplify your week (and weeks to come) to make your life a little easier to manage. Nursing is a calling and it breaks my heart to hear of so many losing their passion whether it be high patient numbers for one nurse, poor leadership, violence, and countless hours working the floors. We need to get back to simplicity and I hope this week can be that kickstart for you. #SimplifyYourLifeWeek #Nursing #NursingShortage #Nurses #Leadership

Tips for Hospice Nurses: being available 24/7 is a very important part of hospice nursing, but it can also be the hardest part of being a hospice nurse. Here are 3 things I do to make it a little easier: 1. Before call starts, I prepare as if I will be out the entire time. Fill your gas tank, wash all your scrubs, prepare quick snacks for the road, etc. 2. I never try to go do something fun with friends hoping I won’t get called, because I always get called and then I’m bummed. When I’m on call I don’t make any plans. 3. I use the time that I’m not called out to rest, read a book, binge watch my favorite shows - things I enjoy. I figure when I’m on-call I’m working, so I don’t do any work at home. My family understands this and they pick up the slack so I can rest. Being on-call is kinda like taking care of a baby - when the baby is sleeping you have to rest. #forhospicenurses #tipsforhospicenurses #shelleyhenry #amitynurses #theamitygroup #tips #oncall #oncallvisits #findyourjoy #hospice #hospicenurses #hospicenurse #fyp #rest #relax #nursecall #nurse #nurses #selfcare #prepare
