Since this is National Bullying Prevention Month, we reached out to someone who can help. Shant’a Miller is the founder of Parents Against Bullying, Virginia. She shared with our Lisa Godley her family’s own horrific encounter with a bully. Now, through her nonprofit, she offers tools parents can use to help their children.

NURSING CAP PROGRAM

Hospitals were having a difficult time filling vacant nursing positions before the pandemic. Now, with so many healthcare workers burning out and retiring early, the nursing shortage has reached critical proportions. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be roughly 176,000 RN openings each year for the next decade.
