Patty Klein, We Will Never Forget You

Oftentimes, good news comes packaged with bad news. Unfortunately, this again is the case with Ryan and Veronica's wedding. The morning after their wedding, Veronica was awoken by a phone call bearing bad news. Patty Klein passed away in a car accident on December 30th at 9am. Patty was a close friend to many at RN MARKET, an expert in some of Veronica's cases, one of Veronica's wine girls in her wine blogs and one of RN MARKET's best legal nurse consulting clients. Many of you have met her at various RN MARKET events. Most recently, she attended the Indulge conference in Tampa.

Patty was driving on an interstate off-ramp when her vehicle veered onto the grass. She overcompensated causing the vehicle to spin and overturn. While the vehicle was flipping, it hit an oak tree. She died instantaneously. Patty was 39-years-old.

If you tried contacting RN MARKET yesterday and nobody answered, it was because the entire staff attended her visitation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. In honor of Patty, RN MARKET will be establishing the Patricia Klein Scholarship. More details will be coming soon.

Smith promised to keep working with and exerting pressure on the CDC, the Department of Health & Human Services, and the White House "to remove impediments," as suggested by providers in their proposal for the All-Hands-On-Deck campaign to improve booster uptake. As a tripledemic approached the nation in November, LeadingAge and the American Health ...

Nurses Deserve Better, Now They Can Get It Our healthcare system is working Nurses to death, and is not doing much to improve the situation. A recent survey by Career Builder reports that 70% of Nurses feel burned out in their current job, and 54% rank their stress level as high. While many say that burn-out comes with the territory, much of it can be avoided with some help from administrators and facilities. Their desire to cut costs adds unnecessary pressure on Nurses, making room for medical errors and decreased quality of care. Our healthcare system has now become one that wears down Nurses faster than ever, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to improve anytime soon. Isn’t it unfair that Nurses are forced take on this extra burden? Isn’t it disappointing that most Nurses choose this career to help people, but are instead forced to offer lower quality of care to their patients because they are overworked? Nurses deserve better than this. Luckily, they now have options. C...
