* "We are busy, with responsibilities demanding our presence, but slowing down to the speed of patients is a part of nursing," writes oncology nurse navigator Julianna Paradisi in her post "The Speed of Patience: Notes on Navigating Hospital Hallways" (https://wp.me/p7sy0l-5Wm).

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"There's no better feeling than to know you were able to really help someone." "Yes, most health care facilities need more nurses[horizontal ellipsis]. But you have to advocate for yourself as well. If you need a break, take a break. Your own welfare and the welfare of your patients depends on it." "Each person, in every state, should be able to drive their [end-of-life] care with a trusted team who can help guide them in making the decision that is right for them."
