One common trait that I’ve seen in both nursing students and new nurses is the struggle of feeling inadequate. Nursing students waste far too much energy wondering if they’ve selected the right major, whether they have what it takes to pass nursing school, and so forth. New nurses also struggle with a myriad of self-defeating […]
Postpartum Hair loss
Is it normal to lose hair after pregnancy (postpartum hair loss)? Or is postpartum hair loss a serious problem that needs to be addressed? One of the things that I love about being pregnant is that the pregnancy hormones often make your hair much thicker and fuller than normal. I definitely noticed a difference in […]

Cell Phones for Nurses?
Cell phones for nurses? Should nurses really use cell phones on the job?

Mike Tomlin Looks Like Omar Epps (Pittsburgh Steeler’s Coach vs House MD)
Mike Tomlin looks just like Omar Epps! The Pittsburgh Steeler’s coach (Mike Tomlin) could almost pass as Omar Epps twin (Omar plays Foreman on House MD).
