SmartScrubs

We are so proud to share our participation in the 2024 Century Ride in support of the UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF). Every dollar we raised through the Century Ride will directly contribute to UHCCF's mission of providing medical grants to children who face significant health challenges. These grants cover medical expenses not covered or fully covered by insurance, helping families alleviate financial burdens and ensuring children receive the care they urgently need.

At SmartScrubs, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Participating in the Century Ride was not just about cycling; it was about coming together to support a cause that aligns with our values of compassion and care. By joining forces with UHCCF, we are actively making a difference in the lives of children and families in need.

Congratulations to employees Jamee York and David Spresser for all of their hard work training and competing in their first Century Ride! Most importantly, between our sponsorship and the donations we collected, SmartScrubs contributed $15,280 to this worthy cause! Thank you to our many partners and supporters for your donations!

An open letter to nurse leaders from a bedside RN : Nursing Management An abstract is unavailable.

According to a study from the American Nurses Foundation:

- 19% of nurses intend to leave their current positions in the next six months
- Of those 19%, at least 43% are considering departing nursing altogether
- 57% of nurses said they had felt "exhausted" over the past two weeks
- 43% of nurses said they felt "burned out"
- Just 20% of nurses said they felt valued

What needs to change?

Nurses Are Burned Out. Can Hospitals Change in Time to Keep Them? The pandemic has pushed already stressed nurses away from a demanding field. Does the job need to be rethought?

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened nurses' stress levels and made it even more challenging to carve time for self-care. This nurse, with over 14 years of experience in high-stress EDs and ICUs, shares mindfulness techniques to help nurses manage stress, reframe overwhelming situations, and improve their well-being.
