by
Chuck Holt
My mother was barely 15 years old when she began her first real job working the ticket window of a theater in downtown Kansas City, MO. One day, a group of soldiers came to the window and requested four adult tickets to see the latest hit movie. Newly

by
Rebecca Hepp
If you haven’t been vaccinated for the flu yet, it should be on your weekend to-do list. October is the unofficial start of flu season, and you don’t want to come down with the nasty virus — or have your kids miss school because of it. Only 46% of Americans

50 & Pregnant
May 31, 2012 2:42 PM
by
Robin Hocevar
50 & Pregnant It sounds like a Lifetime movie, but extreme middle age births are exploding. According to the most recent CDC statistics, 8,000 babies were born to women 45 and older. That's double the number since just 1997. Of these, an alarming

Is My Passion for My Job Killing Me?
April 19, 2012 4:44 PM
by
Chuck Holt
I thoroughly enjoy editing articles. Whether written by a trio of PhDs, a CNO, a staff nurse writing for her first time, a freelance journalist or another ADVANCE editor, I just can't let a sentence be until it sounds right in my head. A long-time telecommuter,

What was your favorite part of AACN?
May 27, 2011 4:18 PM
by
Robin Hocevar
What was your favorite part of AACN? With AACN-NTI behind us and summer (hopefully) on the way, I wanted to reach out to the critical care nurses—and new friends—I met in Chicago this month. Looking back at the show with its roster of impressive speakers

Assisted Suicide: What If It Were Me?

Alzheimer's, From the Inside Out
April 14, 2010 2:55 PM
by
Valerie Newitt
When I was a kid, I used to walk my great grandmother ("Gramma" to me) around and around the yard, then up and down the front path. Nearly blind, she couldn't see where she was going; she only knew it was quite a distance. "You're a very nice girl, and

Faith & Community: A Nursing Natural

by
Chuck Holt
Nursing’s ranking as the most trusted profession in America the past 8 years in Gallup’s annual Honesty & Ethics poll is testament to the reverence with which the public holds the caring profession. It’s a sentiment nurses return each day when they

by
Candy Goulette
In the movies, 2010 has been portrayed as a year of odyssey, finding answers to difficult questions and then finding a way to work together with others toward a common goal. That view sums up my entire list of New Year's resolutions this year, and if

October 29, 2009 3:10 PM
by
Valerie Newitt
My mother, despite her 92 years of age, maintains the mind of a brilliant, life-loving 30-year-old. Unfortunately, her physical self never sipped from the fountain of youth. Her sight has dimmed, her mobility is nil, and she's done battle with cancer,

Take It All Off, Part 2
August 11, 2009 2:12 PM
by
Valerie Newitt
Having just chewed (exactly 25 chews per bite) one half of a green bell pepper and one half of a red bell pepper, I have made a discovery. They don't taste the same. Blindfolded I can tell one from the other. I'm not so sure I could have made that claim
