  • A Day in the Life of an ER Nurse

    As an emergency room nurse at Orlando Health I get to make a difference in a patient’s life at a time when they are most in need of care. I'd even say it's one of the rare nursing specialties where you can physically see the difference you've made for a patient almost immediately. Whether it's something simple, such as helping a patient relieve the pain of a migraine, or something major, such as helping deliver a child or resuscitating a patient who came in without a pulse, you see the impact right away.

  • A Day In The Life of a Corporate Resource Registered Nurse

    Imagine not knowing where you’ll be working each day until you call in that morning. It may be a different hospital location and a different floor from yesterday, and probably from tomorrow. You never know what each day will hold, and I love the adventure. 

  • An interview with the most influential person that shaped my experience at Winnie Palmer Hospital: My labor nurse

    Winnie Palmer Hospital is a special place to me because it is where both of my children were born. In December of 2009, my husband and I welcomed a beautiful baby girl.

  • Are you going nuts over nuts? Why you should include them in your diet

    Walnuts, almonds, peanut and cashews - we are going nuts over nuts! And the best part is, they are good for you, too! Two recent studies done by Harvard Medical School have shown positive health effects associated with nut consumption.

    Over 119,000 women and men from the Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study were involved. Participants completed a food-frequency questionnaire every two to four years, and were asked to report how often they ate a serving (1 ounce) of nuts over that past year. Participants with a history of cancer, heart disease, or stroke were excluded.

  • Pulling Together: Orlando Health Copes with Pulse Tragedy

    Just after 2:00 am on June 12, the Orlando Regional Medical Center Level One Trauma Center and Emergency Room began receiving dozens of seriously injured patients who were victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting. ER doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists and respiratory therapists were quickly joined by off-duty surgeons and other team members to respond to the largest mass casualty they had ever faced.

  • Choosing Between an Orthopedic Walk-In Clinic and the ER

  • Don’t Skip Your Monthly Self-Breast Exam. Here’s What To Do

    It’s tempting to think that if breast cancer doesn’t run in your family, you can skip a monthly self-breast exam. The truth is: In four out of five cases, women with breast cancer have no family history with the diagnosis.

  • Navigating Your Options for Looking Younger Without Surgery

    Nonsurgical cosmetic procedures are increasingly popular for people seeking a younger appearance. There are numerous options available, including Botox injections, laser treatments and chemical peels.

  • Understand the Difference Between Baby Blues and Postpartum Depression

    Judging by the baby product commercials, it looks like all women who have babies are blissfully happy and calm—even just hours or days after giving birth. That may be true for some, but many women experience a range of emotions, including happiness, sadness and anxiety. Top that off with discomfort from labor and delivery, and sleepless nights, it’s no wonder many new (or new again) moms feel they’re on an emotional roller coaster.
