Travel Nurses are Poised to Participate in Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Friday, October 1st, 2010

Breast Cancer Awareness Month Registered nurses like you, travel around the country sharing your skills and expertise with an appreciative public; now you can join them in the walk to find a cure. Breast Cancer Awareness month is going on all October long, in every U.S. state. To find a local event, visit the American Cancer Society’s website at Making Strides Event Near You.

It’s time for travel nurses to get inspired! Start by sending out an eye-catching e-card, compliments of the American Cancer Society. As a travel nurse, you’ve more than likely steered patients in the right direction when it comes to early detection and measures breast cancer survivors can take to ensure a healthy remission.

Tips from the American Cancer Society remind us that unhealthy lifestyle habits, which factor into heart disease and diabetes, may also be linked to cancer, so some of the best preemptive strikes travel nurses can live and educate about are:

  • Not smoking; restricting alcohol consumption
  • Maintaining a healthy weight/BMI
  • Getting an annual mammogram, starting at age 35 to 40, depending on family history
  • Exercising a minimum of 30 minutes a day

Other Things Travel Nurses can do to Help Breast Cancer Research

Travel nurses will find the following resource, provided by the U.S. Department of Health useful; it’s featured on the American Nurses Association (ANA) website and serves as an updated manual regarding breast health. Get the Understanding Breast Changes: A Health Guide for Women here.

In the meantime travel nurses should:

  • Remind patients of the importance of, as well as how to perform self-breast exams
  • Provide patients with the resources and community support they need to beat the disease or simply learn more

Celebrate the Contributions of RNs with National Nurses Week 2010

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

National Nurses Week 2010 begins May 6, giving us all a chance to acknowledge the hard work and selfless care of RNs throughout the country. As a 50 States travel nurse, you can be especially proud of the contributions you make every day to American healthcare.

national nurses weekThis year’s theme, “Caring Today for a Healthier Tomorrow,” fits in with the nurse week goal to highlight “the diverse ways in which registered nurses are working to improve health care. Nursing is about growing and adapting to meet the public’s needs,” said American Nurses Association President Rebecca Patton in her National Nurse Week message.

50 States Staffing is committed to saying “thank-you” each and every day, not just during nurse week. One of our goals is to help you learn and grow in your career.  For instance, check out our recent blog on the importance of continuing education.

In her speech lauding nurses week, the ANA’s Patton says that the role of nurses has become more crucial than ever: “Now is the time for all nurses to fully embrace and provide a new, even stronger level of leadership, partnering with physicians, pharmacists, and other health care professionals to direct and manage care effectively.”

We couldn’t agree more. So, celebrate nurse week today – and always.
