Send us a text A nursing program let an unlicensed instructor teach fundamentals and lead clinicals for nearly a year—and the fallout exposes a deeper question: who is minding the gate in healthcare education? We break down what went wrong, why oversight failed, and how students and nurses can protect themselves with simple checks that keep patients safe and careers intact. From there, we follow the money. A 2025 compensation report shows leadership roles scoring the biggest gains, with soli...

Send us a text A nurse collects sick leave pay from one employer while working shifts at another and ends up sentenced, repaying funds, and suspended from practice. We open with that case not to sensationalize it, but to draw a clean line on ethics, policy, and why the short-term gains never outweigh the long-term damage to your license and your livelihood. From there we shift into something brighter: a big salute to new grads gearing up for the NCLEX and the first year on the floor. We talk...

We dig into how limiting loan access for graduate nursing threatens the workforce pipeline, from advanced practice roles in rural clinics to educators who train the next generation. When funding disappears, access shrinks, burnout accelerates, and patients wait longer for the care they deserve. From there, we turn to a gut-punch: a laboring ...

2025/11/08

Send us a text A nurse filming herself while eating in a patient’s room sparked a bigger conversation than a single clip could hold. We dig into the ethics and optics of eating at the bedside—how small choices shape trust, how infection control and dignity intersect, and why the “do what you must” survival mindset can still cross a line. It’s not about shaming staff who are stretched thin; it’s about naming the tension and protecting patients while we protect ourselves. From there we zoom ou...
