Interesting discussions on BeWell exploitation: we need a focused advocacy strategy to convince the incoming European Commission and MEPs to use the recovery & resilience facility to support the frontline health and care workforce, so they stay in the healthcare ecosystem!   #skills #skillsstrategy #greenskills #digitalskills #nurses #healthcareprofessionals #generalassembly2024 @EFNBrussels @BeWellProjectEU

Many of my LinkedIn friends know how involved I am with helping family caregivers - and family caregivers "to be" (!) - with preparing for the challenges that so many will face in the near future with caring for aging loved ones. It is not a question of "IF" - but rather a question of "WHEN." Getting yourself (and your loved ones) organized in terms of medical, financial, and legal records is critical to making YOUR life easier when that time comes. My Mom was very proactive and well-organized, and it made things MUCH easier on me and my sisters. But there were some details that could have been better spelled out. My friend, colleague, and nurse - Jean Ross, RN - has developed a well-designed platform for getting your healthcare and medical details "all in one place" (and shareable with the portals of your choice) so that your life will be easier - and even more importantly, so that CARE will be better and more coordinated between all healthcare team members - when that time comes. Jean knows from firsthand experience how difficult it can be when emergencies occur and much-needed information is not easily available. I personally am using her Primary Record platform for organizing my OWN healthcare and medical information as a prelude to having discussions with my loved ones to get THEIRS done. I'm doing this because: 1) I want to be prepared for my own needs. 2) It just seems like a smart idea to have this information all in one place, no matter what. 3) As I move into discussions with family members asking THEM to join me (so that secretly, I can be proactive about the NEXT time I am called upon to provide support), I want to be able to say "I've done it, too!" I hope you'll take a moment to read about Primary Record in the post below, and take advantage of their special offer to get started this April-May with organizing you and your family's health and medical records. It's also important to note that when it comes to "Planning for Caregiving" (a 5-week online course I teach with my friend and colleague Deborah Harlow), getting starting with the MEDICAL RECORDS is MUCH easier as a starting point compared to trying to start with FINANCIAL or LEGAL documents, which can stir up prickly emotions and resistance points, derailing the entire process. Thanks, Jean Ross, RN, for creating this great and easy-to-use platform with such thoughtful connectivity with other medical portals (which we are all increasingly being forced to join). Your system makes it easy to "do it once!" #careeconomy #medicalrecords #planningforcaregiving

Reflecting on recent conversations with fellow nurses, one memory shared by a colleague stands out vividly. She recounted the heartbreaking experience of caring for a child victimized by severe abuse, whose injuries ultimately proved fatal. It was a poignant reminder of the profound challenges we face in our profession. Attending a recent event surrounded by executives, many from the healthcare sector, I couldn't shake the disheartening observation of the disconnect between those making decisions and clinicians. The lack of empathy and appreciation for nurses and other healthcare workers, who bear the weight of patient care, remains a glaring issue. The memories flooded back for me, too. I vividly recall the first time a patient coded under my care. Despite my best efforts, the outcome was devastating. The burden of uncertainty lingers, haunting me with the question of did I kill her? Our healthcare system teeters on the brink of collapse, a reality that demands urgent attention. As it fractures, the critical question emerges: who will be left to rebuild it? The time for change is now. It's imperative that we advocate for a system that values and supports it’s clinicans , ensuring they have the resources and recognition they deserve. #nursing #nurses #nurseadvocacy #staffing

Nurses are often the first line of defense in protecting patient rights. Here is why patient advocacy is a cornerstone of nursing practice. Safeguarding Dignity: Nurses ensure that every patient is treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their background. Voicing Concerns: Nurses speak up for patients who might not have the knowledge or strength to do so themselves. Navigating Ethical Dilemmas: Nurses are trained to handle complex situations, ensuring that patient rights are upheld even in challenging circumstances. Building Trust: Advocacy builds a strong nurse-patient relationship, fostering trust and communication. #nurses #patientrights #patientadvocacy
