Katy Luggar-Schmit, #LPN, has spent much of her career in long-term care specialties. She's often asked why she chose the specialty, the perks of being in long-term care, and the most valuable information someone interested in this specialty should know. She breaks it all down in her latest blog: https://hubs.la/Q02z76nz0

SANTO 241 🌟The Power of Presence🌟 Recently, I found myself in a hospice room, holding my mother's hand. In those moments, I was deeply moved by the presence of each hospice worker who entered. Nurses, support staff, food service providers, security team members, and others—all were fully present in their roles. They embraced challenges with grace, never wavering from their focus on my mother’s comfort and well-being. In education, navigating challenges can be stressful and filled with conflicts. Yet, when we embody the presence and compassion exemplified by hospice workers in our interactions with students and colleagues, the impact is profound. Eckhart Tolle teaches us the importance of embracing obstacles with acceptance rather than resistance, as resistance only creates friction. By focusing on the present moment rather than future outcomes, we cultivate a deeper connection with those around us. As educators, there is much we can learn from the approach of hospice workers. Finding fulfillment in the present, we can move away from seeking ego validation in our actions and instead embrace a servant-hearted approach to education. Making presence a daily practice, we embody the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita: "Do not be too attached to the outcome, then it is much more likely that the outcome will be good." Reflecting on your own experiences, whose presence has brought you comfort and joy? How can you bring that same presence to your students and colleagues?#education #inspiration #leadership #teacherlife #sel

Delta Division of Family Practice is in the planning stages

Love Morgan Melancon's mindset and how she described the Nurse Residency program she built at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Problem: Downward trend with retaining first year nurses. They knew these nurses are looking for engagement and a sense of community. Solutions: 1. Provide shared experiences to give a sense of community. 2. Build confidence outside of work(how to find housing, finances, etc.) 3. SCALE!!! Amplify what's working well And what she said at the end speaks volumes to her work and mindset, "Don't be scared to try." Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gpeesCBw

In a survey at the Nursing Home, people over ninety were asked, "If you could live your life again, what would you do differently?" The three most common responses were: (1) I would spend more time with family and friends. (2) I would try more things and take more risks. (3) I would dedicate myself to something that would outlast me. Trivial matters often consume too much of our time, leading us to live by the wrong priorities. If you agree to every request, you'll never find time for what you're truly called to do. A life where everything happens is a life where nothing happens. Your greatest challenge is discretion and taking actions that ultimately matter.

Recently, at ADvancing States’ HCBS Conference, PHI gathered experts from Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Michigan to highlight their work developing statewide direct care workforce training and credentialing systems. These centralized systems are intended to enhance the competency of direct care workers, increase their ability to move between settings (and advance their careers), and improve the quality of care these essential workers provide. Here is a quick look at each of these innovative and impactful projects. https://ow.ly/tbiR50PT1Kb

Find Your Purpose at CentraCare

Whether you are watching me from a distance, hustling down the hall beside me, or sitting across from me in a conference room or virtually on Zoom, I am going to pour into you, professionally and personally. ⁣ I am proud to say that I've mentored and coached nurses at every level of their careers and, regardless of where they are when we meet, they all leave me the same: Better. Show me that you're willing to invest in yourself, and I'll invest in you too. #NurseLeadership #CareerGoals #NurseCareerCoach https://lnkd.in/gfkM3mgg

Patients’ voices are so important in process improvement and growth. If we don’t know we can’t fix it. Patient experience and quality is intertwined in everything we do in healthcare or should be. Meeting patient needs is more successful when you embrace patient family centered care. #patientexperience #patientcenteredcare #patientadvocacy #patientsafety
