Palliative care nurses face daily challenges beyond just managing pain. They often deal with patients dealing with deep emotional and spiritual distress. Research suggests that these nurses benefit from specific skills that aren't always taught in standard training. A previous study looked at genera
California is testing a new idea that might backfire. The state now has a “billionaire tax” on the ballot, pushed by union leaders who argue it will help fund public services. But the plan has already started a quiet exodus—not of the poor, but of some of the state’s wealthiest residents. Many had s
Most mental health programs for new mothers focus only on them. But when a mother struggles, the whole family feels it.

A top advisor to the first lady called for the host’s removal, c
Virginia is caught in a legal tug-of-war over who controls the state’s political map. Last week, voters approved a new congressional district plan drawn by Democrats, which could flip four GOP-held House seats in November. But a county judge quickly blocked the results, calling the referendum illega
In the United States, mental health care today follows rules that seem more about spreadsheets than people. Treatment isn’t just guided by doctors anymore—it’s steered by efficiency numbers, quick fixes, and cost cuts. When care becomes a service, the human side can disappear fast. Patients aren’t j
Small, intense movement bursts throughout the day may help lower the chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Scientists studied how quick, vigorous activities that last less than a minute relate to diabetes risk. They also looked at slightly longer bursts of moderate to vigorous movement, up to three
