* "At the heart of many stories [about perinatal loss] are nurses. . . . Often there to provide care during these most difficult of times, nurses can be an unbelievable source of comfort and support," writes AJN managing editor Amy M. Collins in "National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day: Stories That Stay with You" (https://wp.me/p7sy0l-7ms).
* In her post "Dia de los Muertos: Thoughts on Life, Death, Nursing, and Time with Our Families," oncology nurse navigator Julianna Paradisi discusses the sacrifices required of nurses in missing holidays and family events (https://wp.me/p7sy0l-7nb).
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK, AND OUR BLOG
"As RNs, we have an obligation to advocate for vaccine uptake in our communities." "I went back to school for nursing at 47. Always wanted to become a nurse." "[Milk and molasses enemas] may be old-fashioned, but they work!" "I see patients every day who have smoked for 40+ years and it finally catches up to them. The same is going to happen with vaping. Some people will get sick before others." "We [as nurses] give little thought to ourselves."
