Nurses And Adderall

April 25, 2025 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. 6 Comments

Nurses are no strangers to exhaustion. We work rotating shifts, long hours, and often flip between days and nights without a second thought. Add in the constant interruptions—studies suggest every 5 minutes!—and it’s no surprise that many nurses struggle with focus, concentration, and sleep. So it makes sense that a nurse might visit their physician and say, “I can’t concentrate, and I’m always tired.” In response, the doctor prescribes Adderall. At first, it feels like a miracle. Suddenly, … [Read more...]

Trusted Nurses

January 23, 2020 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. Leave a Comment

In a Gallup Poll, nursing has again been voted as the most trusted profession for the 18th year in a row. One of the reasons it has been so long acclaimed is because of nursing ethics.  However, anything that nurses do that may not put our profession in the most favorable light, can be detrimental. In an MTV reality TV show “Scrubbing In”, they portrayed nurses going to bars in their scrubs.  This negatively portrayed the nursing profession.  We are held to high standards, just like a … [Read more...]
