President's Corner
September 1, 2022
Dear Nurses,

I think it is interesting to see where nurses are coming from to attend our conference each year. Typically, it follows the pattern of highest nursing population across the country. The top 10 states represented at the NNBA 2022 Entrepreneurship Conference were California, Texas, Nevada, Ohio, Arizona, Florida, Oregon, New Jersey, Washington, and New York. Outside the U.S., the top country represented was Canada. Just this past week I was on a Zoom call with four nurses from Brazil. Innovation and entrepreneurship are very much on their minds, and they may be the top country outside the U.S. attending NNBA’s 2023 conference.

Why Telehealth is More than Just a Pandemic Trend

Healthcare IT News
The COVID-19 pandemic brought telemedicine technology and services to a mainstream audience – like it or not.

As it turned out, studies have shown that a great many patients and providers like the flexibility that telemedicine affords.

Liz Fobare is vice president of product management at Tebra, a vendor of cloud-based clinical and practice management software for independent healthcare practices and billing companies. She contends that telehealth is far more than a pandemic trend.

In a discussion with Healthcare IT News, Fobare spells out the role telemedicine has grown to play during the pandemic, where healthcare goes with telehealth, how change may affect physicians and what virtual care might look like 10 years from now.
4 Types of Content Creation and How to Decide Which Type is Right for You

Marketing Insider
Content creation is a core part of every brand’s marketing strategy in 2022 (or at least it should be). But its actual execution can take many forms. There are several types of content creation, and brands definitely don’t have to go it alone when it comes to developing content to engage their audiences and attract new customers.

In fact, the overwhelming majority — 86% — of businesses currently outsource their content creation in some way.

But that doesn’t mean in-house content creation is dead (far from it) or that outsourcing has to be an all-or-nothing approach. In the sections that follow, we’ll walk through what content creation entails, why it’s so critical for brands today, the various approaches for executing it on an ongoing basis, and how to know which approach is right for your business.
10 Ways You are Stronger Than You Think

Psychology Today
Within each of us are powers and abilities we underestimate, but which can carry us through many challenges. You’re stronger than you think.

1. Imperfection

Invulnerability is a classic superpower, but in real life pretending to have it tends to backfire. Instead, those who make mistakes, and let others know it, are better liked and often more successful.

Connection has always been a basic human need. To achieve it, many people assume they need to put their best self forward, never make mistakes or blunders, and always know the right thing to say. This pressure can lead to stress as people second-guess their presentation, their actions, and their words. Research, however, suggests that such effort may not be worth it.
