MASTERING THE ART OF COMMUNICATION: A NURSE’S KEY TO STRONGER CONNECTIONS "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." – George Bernard Shaw As nurses, effective communication is a skill that shapes our relationships and career growth. Whether in clinical settings (hospitals, clinics, home care) or corporate roles (insurance, administration, health consulting), strong verbal and non-verbal communication enhances teamwork, ensures clarity, and improves patient and client outcomes. The ability to listen actively, express thoughts clearly, and interpret non-verbal cues can make the difference between misunderstandings and meaningful interactions. Keywords for Effective Communication ? Active Listening - Understanding the message before responding, whether from a patient, colleague, or corporate client. ? Empathy - Connecting with others emotionally, whether comforting a patient or addressing concerns in an office setting. ? Clarity & Conciseness - Avoiding medical jargon with patients and using precise language in professional discussions. ? Non-Verbal Cues - Maintaining professional body language, appropriate eye contact, and open gestures in any environment. ? Confidence & Assertiveness - Expressing ideas with clarity and professionalism, whether during a patient consultation or a corporate meeting. Strategies for Improving Communication ?? With Patients & Families (Clinical Setting): Use simple terms, maintain eye contact, and offer reassurance with a calm tone. ?? With Colleagues & Teams (Both Settings): Be clear, respectful, and open to feedback. Encourage a culture of transparency and teamwork. ?? With Clients & Stakeholders (Corporate Setting): Adapt to professional language, listen actively to concerns, and ensure emails/reports are precise and well structured. ?? In Digital Communication: Whether in emails, documentation, or virtual meetings, maintain a professional and respectful tone. In both clinical and corporate settings, mastering communication enhances *trust, teamwork, and career growth*. By refining how we listen, speak, and interpret non-verbal signals, we create better work environments and deliver exceptional care and service.

EXPLORING NON-BEDSIDE OPPORTUNITIES IN NURSING: A WORLD BEYOND THE HOSPITAL WARD For many, the image of a nurse is synonymous with bedside care. However, nursing is evolving, and opportunities are expanding beyond the hospital ward. If you've considered a career shift but worried about leaving nursing, rest assured that stepping away from the bedside doesn't mean abandoning your impact, purpose, or professional fulfillment. Nursing skills, such as critical thinking, patient advocacy, adaptability, and leadership, are valuable in various areas. Whether you're a seasoned nurse, a young nurse, or a student, there are numerous opportunities beyond bedside care. Here are 10 non-bedside opportunities to explore: 1. Case Management and Care Coordination: Ensure patients receive necessary care and resources. Ideal for nurses who enjoy advocacy, problem-solving, and long-term care planning. 2. Healthcare Administration and Leadership: Influence patient care on a systemic level as a Nurse Manager, Director of Nursing, or Hospital Administrator. 3. Insurance Nursing and Provider Network Management: Analyze patient care trends, ensure quality compliance, and work with healthcare providers to optimize care delivery. 4. Public Health and Community Nursing: Focus on disease prevention, health education, and outreach programs, impacting larger populations and promoting wellness. 5. Occupational Health Nursing: Ensure workplace safety and employee health in corporate settings. 6. Nurse Educators and Clinical Instructors: Train future nurses in academic institutions or provide continuing education for healthcare professionals. 7. Legal Nurse Consulting: Blend nursing knowledge with investigative skills, working with attorneys, insurance companies, and law enforcement agencies. 8. Technology and Informatics Nursing: Improve electronic health records, telemedicine systems, and patient care technologies. 9. Entrepreneurship and Business in Healthcare: Start your own consulting firm, wellness clinic, home healthcare agency, or healthcare-related tech startup. 10. Writing, Media, and Health Journalism: Craft patient education materials, contribute to research articles, or run a healthcare-focused social media platform. Remember, nursing is not confined to one setting. Your skills are transferable, and your experience is valuable. Exploring non-bedside opportunities expands what nursing means to you. What non-bedside opportunities interest you the most? Share your thoughts! Would you like to develop your knowledge in insurance Nursing, see the comment sessions for courses.

WHAT BEGAN AS A PASSION HAS NOW BECOME A MIGHTY FORCE. I had the honor of speaking to excited nursing students at the prestigious University of Ibadan as a panelist. I shared my story as a non-bedside nurse and the founding of Insurance Nursing Community and InsureHealth Consult. My goal was to inspire them to bridge the knowledge gap on unconventional opportunities for nurses in the marketplace. It was fulfilling to see the students grasp new concepts for the first time! Here are three tips I shared to help nurses become trailblazers: 1) Having an undying quest for knowledge: Knowledge is power and the insights that truly empowers are uncommon, sometimes they can be common but applied in uncommon ways. When you are too crude you are easily pushed aside. Pay for courses, go for paid events. Nurses should normalize paying for value. (2) Sign up for Mentorship: One great hack to this, is to demonstrate that you are worth investing in, be valuable, be excellent, show up, build a portfolio online and learn to communicate excellently. (3) Solve Problems: I can't say this enough, the world has been designed to reward problem solvers, turn your pains to products, your struggles to digital solutions. Spot problems and solve them!

WEBINAR RECAP: Striking the Balance - Your Love Life & Career Advancement* Did you miss the webinar? Don’t sweat it. This recap has got you covered, you’re in for a treat. Our incredible speaker, Nurse Ureh Umeh-John, took us on an enlightening ride, making both singles and married folks rethink how they have and can juggle their careers and relationships. And while she insisted she’s not a relationship expert, let’s be real, after that session, we might just crown her one. Now, before you assume this was a ladies-only affair (because, let’s face it, women do dominate the nursing profession about 89%), this session was for everyone. If you’re open to learning, there was plenty to take home. Key Takeaways – The Art of Balancing It All. ? Open Communication is Non-Negotiable. If you’re serious about balance, whether in love or work, you must communicate openly and honestly with your spouse or potential partner. Clarity lay the foundation for harmony. ? Time Management: Quality Over Quantity. Yes, more work hours might fatten your paycheck, but more family time strengthens your bond. As Nurse Umeh-John wisely put it, "If you don’t raise your kids, the street will raise them." Let that sink in. ? Emotional Support is Essential. Having a partner who has your back and doesn’t see you as a competition? Gold. Your mental health will thank you. ? Work-Life Integration Requires Intentionality. - Celebrate your partner’s wins. - Share their passion. - Find common interests and grow together - Work as a team. That’s how power couples are made ? Set Clear Expectations & Plan Wisely. Financial goals, time management, and future planning, get these in order early. For those planning to walk down the aisle, spot potential pitfalls and tackle them beforehand. This helps to better address issues with no surprises, but just solutions. One particular story shared during the session emphasized the importance of open communication? Well… I won't spill the tea here. If you want the full gist, go listen to the webinar recording, trust me, it’s worth ittttt. Bottom line? Love and career don't have to be rivals. With the right mindset, strategies and teamwork, you can excel in both. Until next time, stay balanced and keep thriving. Now that you've gotten the scoop, what's your biggest takeaway? Let's hear it.

THE NURSING PROFESSION IS RECEIVING HEALTH INSURANCE INTELLIGENCE VIA OUR WORK AT INC. In just 16 months, it's safe to say we have revolutionized the nursing space in Nigeria and beyond, via health insurance and leadership campaigns, sensitizations, and courses and the work just began. While I was on campus, the only encounter I had with health insurance was when a lecturer gave the instruction to research the NHIS (now NHIA). We did the assignments, but many of us did not understand it. I was not surprised, because I doubt the understanding of our facilitators on the subject and the industry as a whole, as there is practically no structure for nurses to learn about the subject. I got to the industry, and I saw massive opportunities for both the populace and healthcare professionals. My questions remained: why are many not aware of this? Why are we not taught in nursing/medical schools? Little did I know I was called to bridge the gap. It really excites me to share how far we have gone. Here's a brief list of where we have taken our work: 1. At the Ogbomosho Nurses Conference, we shared with an energetic audience of nurses and nursing students, and they got excited about the opportunities that lie in nursing. 2. We presented at the International Nurses Week hosted by the Nigerian Universities Nursing Students' Association (NUNSA) National, lecturing leaders of several nursing departments and faculties across the nation, Nigeria (virtually). 3. We had an amazing experience at the NUNSA week at the University of Lagos, where we also received a certificate of recognition for the first time. 4. I was honored to present at the Lagos State University NUNSA week and was given an award of excellence. At this symposium, I met the amazing Dr. Ogunmuyiwa, who has been of great support. 5. At the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) Nurses Week, I presented to a crowd of professionals and also met esteemed voices in the profession. 6. At the Nursing Specialties Conference by Nurse Emerge, we delved deeply into the prospects of managed care nursing, also introducing the audience to the concept of the business of healthcare. 7. I have also presented to a curious audience of nursing students from the University of Port Harcourt, Osun State University, Bayero University Kano; each webinar done separately. 8. NUNSA, University of Ilorin, featured my article on why all nurses should develop health insurance intelligence in their magazine, reaching a vast majority. 9. Dr. Lendra and the African Health Coalition hosted me on their amazing platforms, giving a global reach. Our courses at Insurance Nursing Community (INC) have been taken by doctors of nursing, master's holders in nursing, nursing graduates, and students and we have also reached other healthcare professionals via our company, InsureHealth Consult. Sign up for our courses as well to join the league of Nurses doing all it requires to stay ahead of the curve in a digital age.

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS: A MAKE-OR-BREAK FACTOR IN YOUR NURSING CAREER. The impact of romantic relationships on a nurse's career cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, some nurses have seen their careers derailed due to the emotional stress and challenges that come with their marriage. On the other hand, a supportive partner can be a game-changer. Take Nurse Tiphany, for instance, whose thriving career is, in part, attributed to her loving and enabling spouse. His support has empowered her to launch a globally recognized NGO, tackling strategic health issues and making a lasting impact. As a nurse, your love life and marital health play a significant role in your career advancement. That's why I've partnered with Ureh Umeh-John to help you navigate the intricacies of balancing your romantic relationship with your career advancement. See the comment session and let's work together to ensure your personal and professional life thrive! Please Note: Tiphany's story is fictional, representing nurses who are thriving as a result of their healthy marriage. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Pelumi Akinboade (The Insurance Nurse) trains nurses and all healthcare professionals in health insurance and managed care, he consults on health insurance operations and coach professionals and entrepreneurs on leadership and branding.
