Jeffrey Harvey+FollowWill AI Replace Nursing Jobs?💊👩⚕️I’m about to start school to become a nurse, but I can’t help wondering: will AI take over nursing jobs? I’ve heard this question asked countless times, but it’s still a major concern for me. Nursing involves so much more than just following procedures—it’s about compassion, empathy, and understanding patients’ needs. Can AI truly replicate that? I don’t want to spend time and effort learning a profession that might become obsolete. What are your thoughts? Do you think AI will replace nurses, or will it just change the way we work? #Nursing #AI #FutureOfWork #Healthcare #CompassionInCare #JobSecurity4358Share

jporter+FollowNurses & Docs: Still Faxing in 2024?!Who knew so much of German healthcare still runs on faxes and phone calls? A new study found that nurses and GPs in home care are stuck with old-school communication, and it’s making teamwork tough. Hierarchies, missing info, and overloaded staff mean patients don’t always get the smooth care they deserve. Everyone wants quick, easy, direct chats—but the system needs a major upgrade. Honestly, it’s wild how much depends on who picks up the phone! #Healthcare #Nursing #Doctors #Teamwork #Germany #PatientCare #HealthTech #Health90Share
Keith Stokes+FollowWhy Some Nurses Skip Evidence-Based CareNearly half of emergency nurses in Addis Ababa aren’t using evidence-based practices, and it’s not just about being busy. Turns out, women, those with advanced degrees, and nurse coordinators are way more likely to use research-backed care. But if nurses think there’s no access to the latest studies, they’re way less likely to use EBP. Better training and easier access to research could seriously boost patient care. Makes you wonder what’s holding things back elsewhere, right? #Nursing #EvidenceBasedPractice #Healthcare #NurseLife #MedicalResearch #Health101Share
Dana David+FollowNHS Staffing Crisis Hits Breaking PointJust read that nearly 70% of NHS shifts are running understaffed, especially in maternity and elderly care wards. Staff are sounding the alarm about patient safety, with over half of shifts seeing serious safety risks—think long waits for pain relief and missed care. Even worse, most workers who report these issues say nothing gets done. This feels like a huge wake-up call for the NHS to step up before things get even scarier. #NHSCrisis #PatientSafety #Healthcare #Nursing #UKNews #Health116Share
