Celebrating Student Nurse Day: Honoring the Future of Healthcare
A time to acknowledge and honor our future nurses Student Nurse Day is a perfect opportunity to recognize the dedication of those pursuing a career in nursing. Since registered nurses (RNs) undergo four years of nursing school to obtain their bachelor’s degree, it is meaningful to celebrate student nurses’ hard work and accomplishments. At Propelus, our mission is to power professionals throughout their careers, especially our future nurses. We understand the importance of supporting student nurses as they navigate their education and transition into their careers. In this blog, we’ll provide insights into the life of a student nurse, including their role in the healthcare system, the challenges they may face, their tech-driven learning environments, and ways you can support the student nurses involved with your organization on Student Nurse Day. The Role of Student Nurses in Healthcare Student nurses represent the future workforce. Despite sometimes not receiving as much credit as they deserve, their contributions are essential for improving patient care and advancing the nursing profession. Their dedication and hard work are critical components of the healthcare team, without which the system would struggle to function. Let’s take a closer look into some of the responsibilities of student nurses: Patient assignments Administering medications Performing a head-to-toe assessments Obtaining vital signs Bathing and dressing patients Feeding patients Charting all patient’s medical records Assisting with procedures Communicating with patients and family members Challenges Faced by Student Nurses Nursing school presents unique challenges due to the demanding nature of the nursing profession. According to the National League for Nursing, 20% of nursing students drop out, highlighting the program’s intensity. Unlike many other fields of study, student nurses face the rigorous challenges of clinical trials and real-life scenarios before graduating. They face a lot of pressure and expectations to perform at a high level. From juggling their academic load to the challenges of clinical rotations, all while dealing with financial burdens, it’s no wonder that student nurses experience a lot of stress. While these challenges can sometimes feel overbearing, they help prepare student nurses for their responsibilities when they become nurses. Let’s explore the three main areas where student nurses face these challenges in more detail. 1. Academic Challenges Academic challenges are a huge aspect of the student nursing journey. Employers expect student nurses to retain significant information within a short period. Their work requires a keen attention to detail, given its hands-on nature. From mastering procedures like starting an IV and inserting a catheter to conducting accurate patient assessments, they expect to excel in numerous areas simultaneously. Additionally, they must comprehend complex subjects like anatomy, physiology, clinical mathematics, and various medications’ names, actions, and side effects. Balancing each of these learning objectives, along with the curriculum and exams, creates a hefty workload on student nurses. 2. Clinical Challenges Nursing education blends intensive theoretical instruction in the classroom with extensive practical training in clinical settings. Unlike traditional classroom learning, clinical training offers nursing students opportunities for hands-on learning through exposure and application. The knowledge and principles learned early in nursing school are implemented to develop the mental, psychological, and psychomotor skills required for patient care (Jamshidi, Molazem, Sharif, Torabizadeh, and Kalyani). This dynamic learning environment is heavily focused on practical experience and comes with great stress and pressure. Frequently, students feel overwhelmed when demonstrating new responsibilities in front of their nursing instructors and peers during clinical rotations. The demands of these rotations can physically and mentally wear down students, causing many to drop out. 3. Financial Challenges Nursing school is costly for several reasons. For starters, tuition fees vary widely, ranging from approximately $7,000 for those pursuing an associate degree in nursing (ADN) to over $300,000 for students pursuing advanced graduate nursing degrees. The demanding nature of nursing programs, which includes attending rotating clinical placements and keeping up with the coursework, leaves little time for most nursing students to have a separate job. When living expenses are factored in, the financial burden can be substantial, adding to the stress experienced by students. Balancing these financial obligations along with academic and clinical responsibilities is extremely challenging and a big contributor to student stress. Celebrating and Supporting Student Nurses Student Nurse Day is an annual observance held on May 8th, coinciding with National Nurses Week. Its origins trace back to Dorothy Sutherland of the U.S. Department of Health in 1953 when she proposed for the U.S. to have a day dedicated to recognizing nurses. Although Sutherland’s initial proposal for a Nurse Day didn’t come to fruition, it spurred the recognition of National Nurse Week the following year. Sutherland played a pivotal role in bringing attention to the idea. Eventually, in 1998, the American Nurses Association established National Student Nurse Day to recognize student nurses’ diligence. In honor of Student Nurse Day, consider sharing stories and posts on your organizations’ social media platforms to highlight and acknowledge student nurses, sharing thank you notes with the students nurses involved with your organization, or providing a small token of appreciation. Resources for Student Nurses It’s common for student nurses to face burnout during their nursing education. A Swedish survey revealed burnout rates of 29.7% among first-year nursing students and 36.9% among second-year students. With burnout rates higher than most other academic paths, it is incredibly important for student nurses to seek out resources. Mentorship and peer support networks offer valuable insight into the field, providing advice and a listening ear when times get too overwhelming. It’s a great way to learn from others in the same position. Financial support through scholarship programs, grants, and financial aid is another avenue for students to explore. This assistance can significantly alleviate financial burdens in the long term. Here are some recommended organizations and programs offering resources for student nurses: American Nurses Association (ANA) community: Student Subscriber Program National Student Nurses Association, Inc.

Celebrating Nurses Month: Honoring Extraordinary Compassion and Dedication
May is Nurses Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of nurses around the world. At Propelus, we are proud to join hands with The DAISY Foundation to honor the compassion, dedication, and positive impact within the nursing profession. A bit of background The DAISY Foundation stands as a testament to the enduring impact of nursing excellence. Established in 1999, this foundation was born out of a deeply personal journey. J. Patrick Barnes, a young man with a vibrant spirit, tragically lost his life to complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP). Throughout his illness, Patrick’s family witnessed firsthand the remarkable care and compassion provided by nurses. Moved by the profound impact of these nursing professionals, Patrick’s family sought to honor his memory in a meaningful way. They founded The DAISY Foundation, naming it in honor of Patrick’s nickname, “DAISY” (an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System). The foundation’s mission was clear: to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of nurses who provide compassionate and exceptional care. The cornerstone of The DAISY Foundation’s efforts is the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. This prestigious award serves as a beacon of recognition for nurses who go above and beyond the call of duty, demonstrating unwavering compassion, skill, and dedication in their care for patients and families. Since its inception, the DAISY Award has been presented to over 200,000 nurses worldwide, shining a spotlight on their remarkable achievements and inspiring others in the nursing community. Recognizing nurses In the United States alone, more than 5.2 million nurses play a pivotal role in promoting community well-being and resilience. These dedicated professionals often sacrifice precious time with loved ones, working tirelessly to provide comfort and care during life’s most challenging moments. And yet, despite the vital role they play in healthcare, the work of nurses is sometimes underappreciated. Here are Propelus (just like at The DAISY Foundation) we are committed to shining a spotlight on the compassion and positive impact within the nursing profession in the month of May and throughout the rest of the year. As part of our mission to power professionals, Propelus is committed to celebrating nursing excellence through our partnership with The DAISY Foundation. We believe that nurses are the unsung heroes of healthcare, providing comfort, support, and care across the continuum of care. As we celebrate Nurses Month, we want to take the time to recognize the recent winners of the DAISY Nurse Leader Award, honored at the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) conference. Natassia Singh, BSN, RN, CCRN, Karee Nicholson, RN, MSN, CENP, and Ashley Burris, RN, are shining examples of compassionate leadership and dedication to patient care. Their stories of going above and beyond to support their teams and improve patient outcomes are truly inspiring. We invite you to read more about Natassia, Karee, and Ashley, and their remarkable contributions to healthcare on The DAISY Foundation’s website. Throughout the month of May, Propelus will also be sharing content that recognizes and supports nurses. Keep an eye on our Propelus LinkedIn page for more updates! The wrap up Let May be a poignant reminder of the countless lives touched, hearts healed, and differences made by nurses around the world. These compassionate caregivers embody the essence of selflessness, dedicating themselves to the well-being of others with unwavering compassion and skill. Take this moment to come together and celebrate the nurses who bring comfort, healing, and hope to patients and families in their care. They are the unsung heroes of healthcare, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the best possible outcomes for those in need. To all nurses, we extend our deepest gratitude for your tireless dedication and unwavering commitment to excellence. Your compassion, kindness, and skill make a world of difference, shaping the future of healthcare and touching lives in ways that words cannot fully express. Thank you for being the heart and soul of healthcare, for your compassion that knows no bounds, and for your unwavering commitment to healing and caring for others. This Nurses Month, and every day, we honor and celebrate you.
ASHHRA 2024: 3 Key Takeaways From the Leading Healthcare HR Conference
Recently, around 300 healthcare HR professionals from across the nation gathered in Fort Worth, Texas, for the American Society for Health Care Human Resources Administration (ASHHRA) Annual Conference and Exposition to learn about the latest trends impacting the HR function in the healthcare work environment. In addition to sharing how our solutions modernize workforce compliance, our Propelus team attended sessions and connected with customers, partners and leaders across the healthcare industry. Across a variety of learning sessions and conversations, the following three key takeaways emerged. 1. Workforce shortages continue to be the biggest HR challenge for healthcare organizations As evidenced by news headlines, the U.S. healthcare industry has been grappling with a severe workforce shortage that is expected to worsen over the next few years. In fact, a recent study projected that more than 6.5 million U.S. healthcare professionals will permanently leave their positions by 2026, while only 1.9 million will step in to replace them. This topic was front and center at ASHHRA 24 and speakers talked about a variety of ways to combat the challenge, including developing innovative internship programs to expand the talent pool, leveraging AI for recruiting, helping delay retirement for career extenders by addressing their unique needs, and how psychological capital (internal resources that can help employees manage through tough situations) plays a role in nurse retention and helps avoid burnout. 2. Creating a positive employee experience takes a multifaceted approach Providing a positive employee experience is more important than ever as healthcare organizations work to nurture a sustainable, healthy workforce – especially as they face workforce shortages. However, given that organizations are also implementing cost-saving measures, ASHHRA speakers emphasized the importance of positioning employee experience initiatives as cost/retention savers versus budget strains. These speakers also covered a variety of ways to provide a positive employee experience, including creating a positive culture focused on kindness, developing workforce safety programs that leverage de-escalation training, using marketing techniques to increase employee engagement, optimizing and harmonizing benefits (especially in merger and acquisition scenarios), streamlining the onboarding process, and taking innovative approaches to employee wellbeing and employee health. Although there weren’t learning sessions focused on recognition, our Propelus team found that many HR leaders are driving recognition through programs like those from The DAISY Foundation, the international leader in meaningful nursing recognition. Propelus is a proud partner of The DAISY Foundation and at our booth, we asked visitors to complete DAISY cards that were tied to a donation for the foundation. As part of this activity, many HR leaders shared how their organizations participate in DAISY Award programs. 3. Support of patient care extends beyond the care team While clinicians are the face of the healthcare organization to the patient, the content shared at ASHHRA 24 made it clear that HR leaders play an essential role in equipping their organizations to provide the best care possible. Every day, healthcare HR leaders are working to equip their healthcare professionals with the resources they need to perform at their highest level – from providing education and training to ensuring they’re compliant, safe and healthy to work. Propelus is here to help healthcare professionals reach their full potential. Through our EverCheck, Immuware and CE Broker solutions, we’re powering professionals by giving them the best tools to achieve professional compliance and ultimately, provide safer healthcare with better outcomes.

Empowering Women in Healthcare
In honor of Women’s History Month, we want to take a moment to officially recognize the invaluable contributions of women to the healthcare industry. Women have played a crucial role in shaping the field of medicine, from pioneering groundbreaking medical advancements to advocating for gender equity in healthcare. Today, women make up 67% of the global health and social care workforce and provide essential health services for around 5 billion people worldwide. Let’s take a look at some of healthcare’s pioneers and innovators. The pioneers Elizabeth Blackwell, MD: In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman in the United States to earn a medical degree. She co-founded the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children to serve the poor, paving the way for future generations of women in medicine. Mary Edwards Walker, MD: Dr. Mary Edwards Walker became the first female surgeon in the U.S. Army during the Civil War, despite facing discrimination and challenges due to her gender. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, MD: Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler became the first black American woman to earn a medical degree in 1864. She cared for freed slaves and published a medical book to share her knowledge. Sister Mary Bernard: In 1877, Sister Mary Bernard became the first officially recognized nurse anesthetist, breaking barriers in the field of anesthesia. The innovators Clara Barton: Founder of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton dedicated her life to providing medical care and relief during times of disaster. Gerty Theresa Cori, PhD: Dr. Gerty Theresa Cori became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1947 for her discoveries in glucose metabolism. Virginia Apgar, MD: Dr. Virginia Apgar created the Apgar score for assessing newborns’ health, revolutionizing neonatal care. Loretta Ford, EdD, PNP: Co-founder of the first nurse practitioner program, Dr. Loretta Ford expanded the role of public health nurses to focus on illness prevention and health promotion. Patricia Bath, MD: Dr. Patricia Bath invented the Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment, making cataract surgery more precise and less painful. Antonia Novello, MD: Dr. Antonia Novello became the first woman and the first Hispanic to serve as U.S. surgeon general, focusing on public health issues such as AIDS research and domestic violence. Nancy W. Dickey, MD: Dr. Nancy W. Dickey became the first female president of the American Medical Association, advocating for women’s health issues and healthcare reform. The challenges But despite significant contributions, women in healthcare often encounter various challenges that hinder their professional growth and advancement. Those challenges include: Discrimination Women in healthcare often face discrimination based on their gender. Think: being passed over for promotions, receiving lower salaries compared to their male counterparts, and encountering biased treatment in the workplace. Occupational segregation Women in healthcare are frequently clustered into lower-status and low-paid roles, such as nursing and administrative positions, while men are more likely to occupy higher-paying and leadership roles. This occupational segregation contributes to the gender pay gap and limits women’s opportunities for career advancement. Unequal pay Even though women make up a significant portion of the healthcare workforce, they continue to earn less than men (regardless of roles). This disparity in pay not only affects women’s financial well-being but also perpetuates gender inequality in the workplace. Supporting Strategies To address these challenges and empower women in healthcare, we must all make the conscious decision to implement strategies that promote gender equity and create a more inclusive work environment. Promoting leadership development Providing women with opportunities for leadership development can help them advance in their careers and break through the glass ceiling. Leadership programs tailored to women’s needs can equip them with the skills and confidence to take on leadership roles in healthcare organizations. Mentorship opportunities Mentorship programs can be instrumental in supporting women’s professional growth and development. Pairing women with experienced mentors who can provide guidance, advice, and support can help them navigate the challenges they face in their careers. Networking initiatives Creating networking opportunities for women in healthcare can help them build valuable connections, expand their professional networks, and access new career opportunities. Leveraging technology Technology can be a powerful tool for women in healthcare to manage their careers more effectively, especially for those balancing work and family responsibilities. Tools such as telemedicine, electronic health records, and online learning courses for continuing education can help women stay connected, access resources, and advance their skills. Women in healthcare – the wrap up Empowering women in healthcare is not just about recognizing their achievements but also about addressing the challenges they face and advocating for gender equity in the workforce. At Propelus, our mission is to ensure healthcare professionals reach their full potential, which includes giving them the best tools to achieve professional compliance. Women have made immense contributions to the field of medicine, from pioneering groundbreaking advancements to advocating for better healthcare practices. Together, we cam help all women advance their healthcare careers. This Women’s History Month (and every month), let’s celebrate the accomplishments of women in healthcare and continue working toward a future where gender equity is the norm. Here’s to creating a more equitable and inclusive healthcare workforce for all.
