The erosion of trust, institutional failure and rising violence from patients drive nurse turnover. Another critical factor in nurse retention, is the erosion of trust between nurses and the institutions where they practice.
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the slender, rod-shaped Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of humanity's great scourges. It's ancient, contagious, highly lethal, and thrives in impoverished settings. A well-funded private school is just about the last place we would expect to find a TB outbreak.
Nursing is often defined by its demands: long shifts, heavy patient loads, and the emotional weight of caring for others. But behind the negatives of nursing, many nurse practitioners (NPs) report a fuller picture: real happiness, strong relationships, and a growing sense of optimism about where their lives are headed.
Nursing skills like problem-solving, communication, and prioritization can translate naturally to entrepreneurship. Nurses with business ideas can benefit from trusting their instincts, doing their research, and taking the first step.
If you’re searching for the most comfortable shoes for standing all day, it’s worth taking recommendations from the people who rarely get to sit down.

Encephalitis lethargica (EL) is a mysterious neurological disease that impacted millions of people from 1917 to 1930, causing a wide range of symptoms including hypersomnia, immobility, and even death. Despite a century of scientists analyzing the disease, experts aren’t sure what exactly caused the illness, nor do they know for certain if it could return.
