Job interviews are a source of stress for many job-seekers, and nurses are no exception. Nursing can feel like a rough and tumble profession when it comes to the high-stakes interview process, and for those nurses who are unsure how to articulate their value, the interview can seem like an insurmountable hurdle. I've discussed interviews on this blog in the past, and I've also addressed the issue on episode 18 ( Job Interviews 101 ) and episode 59 ( Tips For Confident Job Interviews ) of The Nur

As our parents grew older, it would be a simple process to fulfill their needs today and their changing future needs. The reality, however, is that being an adult child to older adults can be tumultuous.

I smashed my elbow recently. There was no bone break — just a bad bruise after slipping in the kitchen and landing on my arm — but at times the pain has been excruciating. So, I followed doctor’s orders: babying my elbow, icing it, and taking an occasional over-the-counter painkiller. (P.S. I wear sneakers in the kitchen now.). Something else has helped, too: mind-body therapies.

I hurry uphill, out of breath. Instead of sitting quietly at my altar inside, I push and pant to reach the top of the trail before the evening sun sinks from sight. The closest hills are across the valley on the west side of Seneca Lake, but farther west, I see rolling hills thirty miles away. When I reach the sunset bench, I want to sit, breathe, and watch the apricot orb surrounded by azure skies and luminous clouds.

Many seniors who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, refuse to stop driving, won’t accept in-home care, and resist the idea of moving to senior living because they are unaware that they need assistance.

How much we struggle to keep that which we’re soon to lose. It was so hard being on the receiving end of a daughter’s anger. It wasn’t the profanity nor the frontal attack on the care her father has been receiving but the intensity of it, the felt urgency, the palpable shock of the grief just underneath it all. Rochelle’s dad was nearing his seventh hospital day and I’ve been his doctor since he was admitted.
