November 09, 2021 Pet Therapy is Not Just for Patients

In healthcare settings, staff continue to face busy, non-stop work environments. Finding appropriate breaks and downtime to mindfully refresh is increasingly difficult.

We have found at my facility that pet therapy dogs are just the right answer to providing a break from the constant daily work stresses. Many organizations have pet therapy programs in place for patients, but pet therapy is just as beneficial for the staff!

November 04, 2021 Learning When to Say No & When to Barter Nurses’ work!

The American Nurses Association (ANA) state nurses work tirelessly to identify and protect the needs of the individual (nursingworld.org).

Nurses are known for being caring, kind, gentle, and trusting. They are also known to be very altruistic, which is defined as a selfless concern for others even to their own detriment.

Nurses’ work! They work overtime even when physically exhausted and mentally drained. Nurses meet their patient responsibilities even if it means no lunch, dinner, or bathroom breaks.

November 01, 2021 Thankful for Med-Surg Nurses A time of thanks and celebrating Med-Surg Nurses Week!

CEO's Corner - November 2021

I love fall. It’s my favorite season. I love watching the leaves change. When I lived in Canada, the fall colors were amazing.

Now that I’m in the US, I don’t see the same colors I did before, but the ones that I do see bring me joy. I spent the weekend in New Hampshire visiting my daughter at university. It was amazing to see the rich, deep fall colors as the leaves prepare to fall and the trees to sleep until next spring, when they’ll magically sprout new leaves and start the cycle again.

November 01, 2021 Let’s Celebrate Our Specialty! A week celebration turned into a month for our 30th anniversary.

Happy Medical-Surgical Nurses Month!

Usually, we celebrate Medical-Surgical Nurses for only a week in November (1-7), but this year we decided to commemorate the whole month.

After all, this is AMSN’s 30th Anniversary, so we might as well take the month to celebrate!
