Nurses are consistently one of the most trusted professions in the country, and with good reason. Their combination of professional expertise and compassionate care are cornerstones of good health that we rely on.

That’s why NJHA is featuring real health talk from nurses every month in the Nurse Talk column. Written by nurses on NJHA’s staff, the column provides a look into every day health issues as well as timely concerns from the perspective of the experts.

Previous columns have addressed everything from maternal healthcare to food insecurity to insights on who are the people staffing nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.

When you want the real-deal on what’s happening in health, take it from a nurse.
