Father's Day is right around the corner this weekend. To celebrate, we found this interesting story about a father-son duo who are both flight nurses in Wisconsin!

To celebrate this commitment, we started a new movement in mid-May to promote our core attributes that make PWS truly GREAT— Growth, Recognition, Engagement, Appreciation and Teamwork. 

• Alzheimer’s is fatal. It kills more than breast and prostate cancer combined.
• Alzheimer’s is not normal aging. It’s a progressive brain disease without any cure.
• Alzheimer’s is more than memory loss. It appears through a variety of signs and symptoms.

During the month of June, the Alzheimer’s Association asks you to uncover the truth about Alzheimer’s and take action.

There are few nursing specialties that challenge your skills and compassion the way that working in a NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) will. Your patients are the tiniest on the planet, and your job to help ensure they grow. If you are considering this specialty for your career path as a nurse, understand that a day in your work life will not compare with any other nursing position.

Scrubs recently shared an inforgraphic created to showcase the anatomy of a nurse, which takes into account:

• Intelligence
• Communication
• Emotional Awareness
• Patience
• Physicial Endurance
• Groundedness

Are these any attributes you would replace or include?
