Nursing is our nation’s most trusted profession, says the latest Gallup poll of Honesty/Ethics in Professions. This finding comes as no surprise since nurses have topped the list for 14 of the past 15 years. “Nurses consistently get these high marks because of their empathy, professionalism, and compassion,” said Val J. Halamandaris, president of the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC). To honor their achievements, NAHC and its affiliate Home Healthcare Nurses Association (HHNA) have held their third annual Nurse Recognition Program. This year, like previous years, thousands of agencies nationwide sent in their candidates for America’s top home care and hospice nurses.
Congratulations to 2017 winner - Crystal Traywick of Brandon Ms.
The winner we feature stands out for her clinical skills — and her compassion.
The expertise of nurses like these has led to repeated calls to expand nurses’ scope of practice. Recognition of nurses’ skills inspired the Home Health Improvement Act, which would let nurse practitioners order home health care — and highlighting what nurses can do is the goal of our recognition program. Our winner met a number of strict criteria established by a selection committee made up of members from the HHNA advisory board, NAHC’s board of directors and its Forum of State Associations.
The selection committee asked all agencies to submit an essay about their nurse and answer a variety of questions: Does the nurse’s story paint a positive picture of home care and hospice? Does the story show that the nurse provided exceptional care? Does the applicant demonstrate excellence in nursing through credentials, awards, and honors? Did the applicant make a difference in their patients’ lives? And do they inspire us to be our best?
This very special nurse will appear on stage at the Annual Meeting. “It’s a unique chance to put a face on our industry,” said Andrea L. Devoti, RN, chairman of the NAHC board. “Our focus is to highlight the impact that nurses make day in and day out in homes across the country,” despite the challenges they face. “It’s time for the public to honor nurses and thank them for all they contribute,” said Elaine Stephens,

"I just couldn't take it anymore, and unleashed my forces at the person who was irritating me. I had no idea the energy of my rage could cause such destruction," says Anna. Despite the ruination her anger has caused, Anna says she has no regrets. "I actually wish I knew I had this ability sooner!" Anna laughs. "There are a lot of people and things I could have eradicated from my life in this way."

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
