American Nurses Enterprise (ANE) Releases Key Findings That Investing in Nursing Can Create Positive Financial Returns for Hospitals - INVEST Study Commissioned by ANE Demonstrates Positive ROI for Healthcare Organizations

https://www.nursingworld.org/news/news-releases/2026-news-releases/american-nurses-enterprise-releases-key-findings-that--investing-in-nursing-can-create-posive-financial-returns-for-hospitals/ - March 26, 2026

The study was a national mixed-methods analysis designed to quantify hospitals’ investments in nursing and examine how those investments relate to financial performance. The findings support the premise that investing in nurses as human capital assets can create positive financial returns for healthcare organizations through the production of high-quality care.

"The study further demonstrates that nurses are vital to the strength and stability of healthcare organizations. Sustained investment in nurses improves care delivery and supports long-term performance,” said Brad Goettl, DNP, DHA, RN, FNP-C, FAAN, Chief Nursing Officer of ANE. “Organizations that invest in nurse safety, well-being, and the work environment are better positioned for operational and financial success."

Key Findings from the Study:

Positive Financial Return: Investing in nursing personnel, including competitive compensation and professional development, supports better operating margins.

Nurses as Capital Assets: Hospitals that treat nurses as long-term human capital, rather than just labor costs, experience higher quality care and operational stability.

Improved Safety and Retention: Strategic investments in nurse safety, well-being, and professional work environments contribute to higher-quality care delivery.

Woman retrofits vending machine to dispense random acts of kindness

https://www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/random-acts-of-kindness-vending-machine
Goodgoodgoodco.com - March 30, 2026

Michigan artist Andrea Zelenak had the idea to turn an old bait and tackle vending machine into something a little more meaningful. She called it The Kindness Challenge. 🤗

Inside the machine were three different kinds of challenges that encourage people to extend kindness: Green is an easy challenge; yellow is a medium one; pink ones are the more difficult ones to execute. 💚💛💗

The machine works like any other vending machine, accepting cash, coins, and even tap to pay options. Each item costs $3, with the funds all going back to create more kindness challenges. 🙂

Challenges might include giving someone in need a warm hat, sharing a stick of gum, writing a thank you note, or posting encouraging words in public. In the years since the machine has been operational, thousands of people have participated.‼️

Brain Aging Tied to MIND Diet Scores: Better adherence correlated with slower gray matter loss over 12 years

MedPage Today - March 18, 2026
https://www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/dementia/120372?xid=nl_mpt_AJN_2026-03-20&eun=g22878792d42r

The Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, which combines elements of the Mediterranean and blood pressure-lowering DASH diets, was associated with slower structural brain changes associated with aging in a prospective cohort study.

The MIND diet pattern supports regular consumption of green leafy and other vegetables, berries, nuts, whole grains, olive oil, poultry, fish, and beans; limited consumption of butter and margarine, cheese, red meat, pastries, sweets, and fried fast foods; and moderate wine intake. 🍅🍆🫐🐟

Earlier studies have tied the MIND diet to a lower likelihood of hippocampal sclerosis and higher subcortical brain region volumes. Clinical trial data, however, showed the MIND diet had a similar effect on cognition and brain MRI outcomes.

Planetary Health: A Virtual Global Conference for Nurses & Midwives

Planetary Health is the understanding that human health and the health of Earth's natural systems are deeply interconnected. In simple terms: when the planet is sick, people get sick. 🌎🌍🌏

As a nurse and midwife, recognizing this connection means understanding that climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem disruption directly impact the patients and communities you serve—from increased heatstroke and respiratory disease to the spread of infectious diseases and mental health crises.

It's Wednesday Wellness ... and let's clarify what are prebiotics and probiotics! 🌿

Your gut is home to trillions of microbes that act as a command center for your health, influencing everything from digestion and immunity to inflammation and even your mood.

Think of probiotics as the “seeds” (the beneficial bacteria) and prebiotics as the “fertilizer” (the food that helps them grow).

PREBIOTICS - non-digestible plant fibers that feed your good bacteria. 🥕🍏🫐

What they do:
- Help healthy gut bacteria grow
- Support balanced digestion
- Reduce inflammation
- Produce short-chain fatty acids that nourish the colon

Food sources: garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, oats, beans, lentils, apples, berries

PROBIOTICS - live good bacteria that support the gut. 🧀

Why they matter:
- Aid digestion
- Strengthen the gut barrier
- Support immunity
- Influence mood and mental well-being
- Help repair cells

Food sources: yogurt, kefir, miso, tempeh, aged cheeses, sauerkraut

Prebiotics help probiotics thrive - and probiotics support gut health.
