Caring is the cornerstone of the nursing profession. Yet, nurses are often on the receiving end of uncaring behavior. Over 50 percent of 3,765 nurses and nursing students experienced verbal abuse in a 12-month period, according to the 2014 American Nurses' Association Health Risk Appraisal survey.And bullying causes harm to more than just the victim. A December study in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine found workplace bullying increases employees' psychological distress and intent to leave their job—even for workers who aren't personally being bullied.

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the U.S. Cadet Nurse Corps, a heroic group of nurses who served in World War II – and these nurses are the only uniformed corps members from that war who haven’t been recognized as veterans.
You can help change that and give these nurses their due.
The bipartisan United States Cadet Nurse Corps Equity Act was just introduced in the Senate and would right this wrong and finally honor these nurses’ valiant service to our country, but it needs your help to move forward!
Send your letter now: tell your Senators to support the United States Cadet Nurse Corps Equity Act and recognize the sacrifice these nurses have made.
These nurses filled an urgent need during the war efforts by ensuring that there were trained healthcare professionals at home and abroad – and paved the way for how nursing and nurse training evolved in the U.S. in the process.
Ten different bills have been introduced since 1995 aiming to give these nurses the credit they deserve – and none have passed. This new bipartisan bill, introduced by Senator Warren (D-MA) and Senator Daines (R-MT), is our best chance to honor nurse cadets and the critical role they played.
Thanks in advance for helping ensure that these nurses’ service to their country isn’t forgotten.

From taking the time to find quality, comfortable work shoes to eating healthy and getting proper rest, self-care is an important part of being a top-notch nurse to your patients. This year, make it a top priority. “As nurses we’re no strangers to things like stress, burnout or compassion fatigue, nor are we unfamiliar with physical, emotional or mental exhaustion,” writes Eileen Williamson, MSN, RN in her article. “But we can’t just say, ‘it goes with the territory,’ because it doesn’t need to. Self-care can be the antidote that can help decrease each of those things, but the first step is to give yourself permission for that self-care.”

Teenagers are taking up vaping nicotine and marijuana at an unprecedented clip, even as Generation Z continues to move away from drugs and tobacco use more generally.
More than one in three high school seniors reported having tried an electronic nicotine vaporizer such as a Juul, and more than one in five has vaped nicotine in the last month, according to the 2018 Monitoring the Future survey, released in December 2018.

Five clones of a gene-edited long-tailed macaque with several symptoms of genetic disease have been successfully bred, announced a team of scientists in Shanghai this week. The original monkey had been altered with CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to give its clones a disrupted circadian rhythm so that scientists can learn how to treat humans with related disorders. The psychological effects of the gene editing on the monkeys has, unsurprisingly, raised concerns among ethicists.

 It's the new year. Many people are integrating new habits into their lives to help them reach their health and wellness goals. The rise in popularity of intermittent fasting as part of an overall wellness plan has people researching, Googling and seeking out information on fasting more than ever before. In a University of California, Irvine-led study, researchers found evidence that fasting affects circadian clocks in the liver and skeletal muscles, causing them to rewire their metabolism, which can ultimately lead to improved health and protection against aging-associated diseases.

About a third of all U.S. deliveries are by C-section, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"Anywhere from 6 to 18 percent of those [women] will end up with chronic pain in their scar," says Jennifer Wasserman, a physical therapist who studies chronic pain after C-sections.
Chronic pain is just one health concern women can struggle with after giving birth. Some, who have complicated pregnancies or deliveries, can also see long-lasting effects to their physical and mental health.

The cost of insulin for a person with Type 1 diabetes nearly doubled in the span of five years, according to a new study.
The nonprofit Health Care Cost Institute found the annual cost for the typical patient went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016. That's an increase of 99.2 percent.
According to Reuters, the numbers are the combined amounts paid by both the patient and their insurance. Rebates paid later were not included. The skyrocketing cost of insulin has led to stories of people rationing the drug in order to make ends meet, putting their own lives in danger.

A new study has found that some people exposed to a certain toxic metal as children may face poor mental health as adults. This finding may have far-reaching implications for all populations exposed to this risk factor. According to the World Health Organization, "there is no known level of lead exposure that is considered safe." In time, ingested lead particles tend to accumulate in a person's bones, brain, and other organs, increasing the risk of health problems, including high blood pressure and damage to the kidneys.
Lead that accumulates in the body can also disrupt the central nervous system, and some studies have linked lead exposure during childhood with behavioral and intelligence deficits.

 Over 15 years ago, one of the nation’s foremost glaucoma specialists provocatively asked in a review paper, "Glaucoma: Ocular Alzheimer's disease?" Animal studies have shown a high rate of the amyloid precursor molecules, which are attributed to Alzheimer’s disease, to also be a factor in induced glaucoma. A recently published research study adds yet another common element for the two diseases. The report in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that there were racial differences in the cerebrospinal fluid concentration of tau protein between African-American and white individuals.

Anyone in the habit of taking a daily aspirin should know the risks involved, say the researchers behind a new study: while it reduces the risk of a heart attack or stroke, it raises the risk of severe internal bleeding. The new research is a meta-study of previous clinical trials, looking at trends and patterns across more than 164,000 individuals, and it challenges conventional wisdom that daily aspirins are a safe way for cutting down the risk of heart disease, especially for older people.

Thanks to its pretty impressive National Immunization Program, Australia eliminated rubella in 2018 and is now on track to be the first country in the world to eradicate cervical cancer. And according to new research, another routine vaccination appears to have a very desirable, yet unexpected, side effect – it might help prevent the onset of type 1 diabetes.

Anyone who has ever put a small child to bed or drifted off in a gently swaying hammock will know that a rocking motion makes getting to sleep seem easier. Now, two new studies reported in Current Biology on Jan. 24, one conducted in young adults and the other in mice, add to evidence for the broad benefits of a rocking motion during sleep. In fact, the studies in people show that rocking not only leads to better sleep, but it also boosts memory consolidation during sleep.
