Become a Link in the Sharsheret Chain
I love the feeling of gathering with others to raise awareness and build community around a cause that I feel passionate about and dedication to. I had the opportunity to attend such an event recently and learn about the breast cancer support organization Sharsheret.

Use the Evidence to Protect Your Rear
The knowledge and healthy respect that some unseen danger may be lurking out there drives me to use the evidence to make my choices. This is what every nurse must remember, which is difficult at times because there are simply so many important things to ensure and track, but the great thing about nursing at this particular time is that we have the research and evidence that has determined the best way to practice. Through the time, effort, and collaboration of our nursing peers, we have our own body of nursing research based on fact and science. The important part is actually using best practice in our day to day work.

Nurses Stare Down Irene
Nurses and medical professionals in general have a special quality that few share. During times of disaster or tragedy, instead of running away or taking comfort in the safety of our homes, we report for duty on streets that are closed except for “emergency personnel,” make arrangements with friends or grandparents for our kids and pets so we can take care of other people’s families, and sleep in recliners in the waiting room when stuck at the hospital for prolonged shifts.

Swimming Through a Sea of Priorities and Expectations
Expectations are everywhere, regardless of our conscientious recognition. We as nurses wear many hats, at home, at work, and in the community. Each new role brings new expectations, and with that the opportunity to succeed or fail in meeting them. In today’s complex world, multiple people can expect many things from you at any given time. Friend, mother, community advocate, daughter, registered nurse, educator, caregiver; the list goes on and the expectations build.
