Every year, thousands of nurses make the transition from registered nurse to nurse practitioner. Like any change, shifting career paths can be both rewarding and challenging.
Technology has transformed nearly every aspect of our lives—at home, at work and in the health care setting. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, developing and applying nursing technology has become a top priority in the health care industry, and this trend is expected to continue for decades to come.
Every team requires strong leadership. Nursing leaders have a particular set of characteristics necessary for strong leadership in the field. To ensure high-quality patient care and clinical efficiency, nursing teams need effective leaders who can use their skills to set clear strategic goals and motivate team members to achieve them.
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are instrumental in helping health care facilities provide high-quality care to patients that can lead to optimum patient outcomes. However, their work isn’t confined to only caring for patients’ physical health. They also provide mental healthcare.
According to the Behavioral Health Workforce 2023 Brief from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), as many as 59 million American adults had a mental health disorder in 2022. Unfortunately, only about half receive help.
