Welcome to the ShiftMed blog where we discuss everything nursing, from professional insights to healthcare holidays to helpful hints for working with us.
I've experienced heat-related illnesses with patients on opposite ends of the spectrum. I worked as a critical care nurse in an intensive care unit (ICU) for 14 years. During the summer, we often admitted one or more heat stroke victims. Usually, these were young military men doing intensive training exercises during the heat of the day.
As healthcare providers, we understand the deep importance of diversity in nursing, not just as a concept, but as a vital element shaping the quality of care we provide to our patients. As ShiftMed, a pioneer in healthcare workforce solutions, we recognize that our diverse nursing teams are integral to improving patient care. Embracing and enhancing diversity propels our focus of fostering cultural competence in nursing, resulting in heightened patient satisfaction and improved health outcomes.
