How to prepare yourself physically for winter
Keep up with preventive screenings and checkups
Even if you’re feeling healthy, a regular checkup with your provider is a good way to validate your health or identify a problem in its early stages. Early detection of a medical issue is the best way to improve effectiveness of condition treatment and management. In addition, people without underlying health conditions appear to recover faster from, and have lower rates of complications or death from, COVID-19. So staying healthy is important this and every season.
Plan an indoor exercise routine
Regular exercise is good for your body and mind. It decreases your risk for heart disease and stroke, helps you maintain a healthy weight, improves the quality of your sleep and improves your mood. As we transition to more time indoors, research indoor fitness options, such as apps or videos, that you can do at home. Or dust off unused exercise equipment in your basement. Also, many gyms have reopened, and they can be a good option.
Warm up to outdoor winter activities
You may have heard the phrase, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.” Winter weather is more enjoyable if you have the proper equipment. This winter may be a perfect opportunity to invest in some new cold-weather gear and try a new winter activity, such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or ice fishing. With the proper outdoor clothing, your family can fully embrace the lower temperatures without running back indoors in five minutes. Your family also can try outdoor treasure hunts, hiking, cookouts, camping, photography, painting the snow or other winter activities. Visiting with family and friends outdoors, while still maintaining social distance, can be a safer way to interact with your loved ones.
Map out a healthy meal plan
Meal planning is a great way to prepare for healthy dinners, simplify your shopping trip and save money. This also helps fend off the desire to reach for processed or fast food. Spend an hour listing 10 to 15 healthy dinner options and the necessary ingredients for each. Then incorporate these options into your weekly meal plan. You can always reuse meal plans and grocery lists to cut down on planning time. You may find that a two- or three-week seasonal meal plan provides enough variety for your family. And this type of planning eliminates the daily stress of what’s for dinner and makes the healthy choices easier.

Not trying to be cynical here, but some Thanksgiving meals revolve around family rivalries, judgmental relatives pushing unsavory political views and displays of substance abuse disorder.

If you're thinking, "Shouldn't this be the first advantage?" well, no. Extra pay sometimes can't overcome missing time with family during the holidays. But it is definitely something to think about when you're deciding whether to volunteer for Thanksgiving shifts or are anticipating having to work them no matter what you'd prefer. "Your hospital almost certainly has some sort of monetary perk to working over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's," according to Advanced Travel Nursing. "Check with your department to see what kind of extra incentives are offered by working on these days. You barely remember missing the first helping of cranberry sauce when your paycheck is fatter than a stuffed turkey.""},{"_id":"6IGW3X4Y7ZEATJKKOPO6V7W3WQ","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"_id":1606143332723,"inline_comments":[]},"content":"You have a chance to give back. There are certainly career benefits of being seen as a team player by volunteering to work the holidays, and you may draw positive attention to your workplace by being a cheerful presence on Thanksgiving. But nurses who volunteer to work Thanksgiving or another holiday shift also turn the thoughts of deprivation around by considering the experience as a chance to gift co-workers, management and patients."For some people, working on a holiday can be a great gift they give to others who really want to have special family time, and for others, it's a total burden," Marsha Egan, a workplace and e-mail productivity coach, told Forbes. "It depends on your situation and your frame of mind. If by chance, you have been asked, or pressured, or requested to work on a holiday, once you have made your case to try to get out of it, accept your situation, and make the best of it.""},{"_id":"XSGVY3GEPNFNLBSTLFUC3ZB5VQ","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"_id":1606143332711,"inline_comments":[]},"content":"This story has been updated to reflect the unique challenges of the holiday season in 2020."},{"_id":"PC7HZTYBHJGFXHA4TZ34BHZZLI","type":"raw_html","additional_properties":{"id":"U51555041042RjD","comments":[],"_id":1606143332724},"content":"

That means even if the kids are doing virtual schooling in your living room or you’re picking up extra shifts when co-workers call out, you make every attempt to wake up and go to bed at the same time every day.

That study underscored the importance of knowing how to do water birth safely, and communicating this to hospitals and doctors. “Water immersion in labor is a very effective method of pain management, and it decreases the need for an epidural, but it’s not available to most women because hospitals just will not implement it,” she says."},{"_id":"ILCELF7665FX3AQIRGCJPK6MB4","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"Amidst this important work, there’s one set of data and findings that drives Hall, that she says she’d “stand in front of a burning building” to talk about.

Since we tend to think of birth as medical, we tend to feel that if all the medical parts were taken care of, the woman is well. That is not the case.”"},{"_id":"MZRQ5MTR7VBOLORP5IBG3L7IFY","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"A big part of assuring more power for women during their birth experiences is making the benefits of midwife care better known, Hall asserts. “Culturally, there is such a focus on the risks of pregnancy, women might perceive they need a physician or that the person with the higher education level is better,” Hall says."},{"_id":"WQW7HGLEABHOBKDLMWBMX4LR6Y","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"To her way of thinking, “if a woman is healthy, she should have access to all the birth options that we know enhance a healthy birth, and not just choose from the hospital’s limited menu,” she says. “One of my fantasies is that women will just show up at the hospital en masse and say, ‘No, I don’t want that.

Not going to agree, don’t think I need that.’”"},{"_id":"RARQWE3GKVGN7M3ZTYBH3D6X7I","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"She hopes to work towards a world where individuals can “identify what is really important about the birth and work towards that,” she says. “If the plan needs to change, you should feel respected, included in the decision and have all the information you need to accept a new plan. There are moments in pregnancy when a woman is bleeding to death that a provider might bypass that kind of discussion, but those are rare, and for the most part, women should feel like they were full participants in the decision.”"},{"_id":"BML6QNBDMRC4VGIRYKYIIQHWSQ","type":"interstitial_link","additional_properties":{"_id":"LPKQD6K7HVHTNBVGX2RTPAT2WI","comments":[]},"url":"https://www.ajc.com/news/local/valdosta-nurse-helped-fight-covid-new-york-and-continues-the-fight-georgia/BBJKQtThxepIHLDTqMfxBL/","content":"Valdosta nurse helped fight COVID-19 in New York and continues the fight in Georgia"},{"_id":"KWIBGUSNCNHXZAKDK5DAGIOL3Y","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"A registered nurse and certified nurse midwife who earned a Doctor of Nursing in 2015, Hall has long known this was the profession for her. She was a little kid, 10 or so, when she started reading a series of books, sort of in the same vein as Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys. Only this was a series about a nurse, Cherry Ames. “I read those books, and that was kind of it,” Hall says. “I thought, ‘I want to do this. I want to be a nurse.’ I liked her adventures. I liked her perspective on human beings. I liked what she was about and what she did for people. Those books really captured how nurses are concerned about the whole human being, in illness and in health. That caught my attention.”"},{"_id":"USPWE4G4T5DNVPUWHUHPFIJN5Q","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"The real-life role models she follows intently are all midwives working in the normal healthy birth area. “Shawn Walker is one of my friends who went out on a limb to try to study physiological breech birth, and when it is safe to birth a breech baby vaginally. This knowledge has been decreasing for the last 20 years, because breech birth moved towards a required Cesarean. Shawn started out doing breech births here and there, and now she runs a breech birth clinic.”"},{"_id":"OZQUXE6OARFSZIROLNT2UTRH6Q","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"Another mover and shaker admired by Hall is Soo Downe, a researcher studying normal, healthy birth in the U.K. “She talks a lot about the medical culture that thinks of pregnancy as a risk waiting to happen, instead of an opportunity for growth and transformation in a family,” Hall notes. “She interviewed women who had positive birth experiences, and they talked about feeling ecstatic and blissful in labor and after that they felt a joy they had not experienced ever. She wants to know why we are not talking about that in the media or in the obstetrical space or in nurse-MD-midwife education.”"},{"_id":"C3LPBQEE3NC2LHHNYNSWJOWVEQ","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"Hall says if Soo Downe’s ever offered a chance to work with her, “I would give up one leg and one eye.”"},{"_id":"GDQSTY3Y3NFL7DMIEEFTUKKLHM","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"Her nurse education began with a bachelor’s from Biola in Southern California. She then became a midwife at University of Southern California back in the days when you could practice with just a certificate.

A combination of odd circumstances unexpectedly left her without a spot at a school where she’d been invited to apply. She learned on social media that registered nurse and doctor of nursing Jennifer Foster had been funded to initiate a research project aimed at understanding men’s and women’s beliefs around public maternity and newborn services. Participants would be community workers and health providers in the Dominican Republic."},{"_id":"KGWEZMVCZVC6VE7MQB6JDPDCAA","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"Hall wrote to Foster “out of the blue,” she says.

At first she also took a midwifery position in a clinic, but she gave it up when it “didn’t go very well with grad school,” she says. “It was very busy there, and I don’t do well working like that.

She needs to feel like she is a full participant in her own care.”"},{"_id":"IJ2YVEAYT5HWDKKT6DB6JPPNOQ","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"Hall also encourages nurses to see how their view and skills are needed in the world of academic research. “Medicine wants to fix the body in illness, or maybe prevent an illness,” she explains. “Public health wants to know how to help entire populations prevent illness. Nursing looks at the problems of health and illness closer to the patient: What is happening with the person, their family, their spirituality, their sleep, their eating, how much dust there is where they live... Where medicine wants to know what medicine will cure a disease, nursing wants to know what is going on when a lot of patients are non-compliant and won’t take that medicine properly.”"},{"_id":"SUR6GX5CVVDC7EXZ2VPZXI6XNU","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"It takes a toll to offer up your own time and work hours to deliver this valuable perspective, Hall admits. For her, the most difficult aspect of working in academia has been the utter lack of boundaries between life and work. “As a midwife, it’s a little easier. Oh, you’re still working long hours and sometimes holidays or being on call, but when you aren’t delivering a baby, you can go home.”"},{"_id":"NMFM3RPTLNE67JCJJFYPE3QYQI","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"She says she finds the culture of PhD pursuit “super, super excessively busy. It’s not right to be busy all the time. I’m on a campaign to point that out!

There’s no way to make it bake faster...’”"},{"_id":"OK2GABERTJED5DH2PSSVVTN2XY","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[]},"content":"At this point in her career, Hall has goals both personal and work-related. “Professionally, I would like to get as much out of this PhD as I can while maintaining balance, creativity and joy,” she says. “I want to collaborate with people I really like who laugh a lot, and have good, innovative ideas to study and make birth better for women. And I’d like to kindly support all the PhDs and nurse clinicians coming up behind me, so together we can create a new culture of nursing science that is kind, balanced and creative.”"}],"created_date":"2020-09-22T18:11:12.201Z","revision":{"revision_id":"ECZT6EC6VNECLN5C6JFLE7GULY","parent_id":"ABR2KIP4QJH2LEG4PWGMTZT35Q","editions":["default"],"branch":"default","user_id":"[email protected]","published":true},"last_updated_date":"2020-09-22T18:17:54.739Z","canonical_url":"/pulse/midwife-researcher-priscilla-hall-encourages-womens-personal-power-in-labor/XAVPBWTFARCV5EVCGJ2AMQPH4U/","headlines":{"basic":"Midwife researcher Priscilla Hall encourages women’s personal power in labor","mobile":"","native":"","print":"","tablet":"","web":"","meta_title":""},"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"ajc"},"content_restrictions":{"content_code":"free"},"address":{},"workflow":{"status_code":1},"subheadlines":{"basic":""},"description":{"basic":""},"language":"","source":{"system":"composer","name":"ajc","source_type":"staff"},"label":{},"taxonomy":{"sites":[],"tags":[{"text":"ajcpulse","description":"ajcpulse","slug":"ajcpulse"},{"text":"spcontent","description":"spcontent","slug":"spcontent"},{"text":"rct-content","description":"rct-content","slug":"rct-content"}],"sections":[{"_id":"/pulse","_website":"ajc","type":"section","version":"0.6.0","name":"Pulse","description":"The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Pulse Magazine is a one-stop-shop for nurses in the Southeast.

Overt or subtle racism at a workplace can thwart any efforts at establishing diversity. One way to combat that? Get to know more people of color, at work and other places, advised Dana Brownlee, a senior contributor to Forbes. “Fear is often the root of bigotry and one of the best antidotes for erasing fear is knowledge and familiarity,” she said. “The saying is, ‘Know me, like me, trust me’ and that trust-building process starts with simply knowing people better.

It doesn’t take much effort to join a diversity committee at your workplace, but it does send a signal to those around you that you have some level of empathy and interest.” This participation will also give you a chance to get to know new people and “begin to see issues from a different perspective,” Brownlee said."},{"_id":"FUZ7LN6BQJHW3GDLZKDVWDQJIE","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1599747233109},"content":"Be the diversity watchdog during colleague interactions. According to gender, diversity and technology expert Catherine Ashcraft, the diversity destroyer known as unconscious bias easily slips “into team meetings and informal interactions. For example, most people have been in meetings where one or two team members dominate the conversation or someone gets credit for an idea voiced earlier by someone else,” Ashcraft, a senior research scientist at the National Center for Women & Information Technology, wrote in Fast Company. “These dynamics are exacerbated when one is a minority in a particular environment.”"},{"_id":"7S5WPOP6F5HLXGSIRHDPDI47VI","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1599747233110},"content":"Shifting these toxic interactions simply and directly is a matter of “soliciting the opinions of quieter members, making sure that a variety of voices are heard, and ensuring that individuals get credit for their ideas and their work,” Ashcraft added. “As an added bonus, these strategies are relatively inexpensive to implement.”"},{"_id":"KWUHU4TSXZEKBIFD3QUP2JCK7A","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1599747233111},"content":"Start a conversation with your kids about race. This benefits diversity now and down the road, Brownlee said. “One of my friends said that she grew up in a white neighborhood with one black family, and race was not really discussed in her household. She said she didn’t even find out about the Holocaust until they taught it in school when she was 16 and then was so traumatized learning of the injustices that she ended up missing several days of school and ultimately skipping the class altogether. She recalls it as a real trauma in her childhood particularly because she didn’t have adults around her to help her process it.

Yet reducing our own microaggressions makes a huge difference in the everyday lives of people of color.

The minute you respond with “That’s not what I meant,” or “It was just a joke,” you begin to cut yourself off from others who might give you useful feedback in your quest to support diversity in nursing. “This becomes a self-reinforcing cycle, where we may not believe there are any problems with race in the workplace because we haven’t demonstrated openness to receiving how we contribute to these problems,” Govan added."},{"_id":"HZQGXOY7RZF45N2SRCODOGQPOE","type":"text","additional_properties":{"comments":[],"inline_comments":[],"_id":1599747233115},"content":"Strive for inclusion.

Many Black people are emotionally exhausted by the news coming out of Minneapolis, consumed with supporting family members affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, or overwhelmed with figuring out how to best show up in support of the many causes that have arisen since George Floyd’s death.

Even though many of the promotions for nurses working during the pandemic have expired, including Crocs and Starbucks, there are still lots of promotions, discounts and freebies floating around in cyberspace. The thing is, nurses overwhelmed by working the ICU or other front line locations may not have the time or energy to collect their due. Since you're also a nurse, you're in a great position to track down the freebies and register both of you. (Hint: A good place to start is Krispy Kreme's promotion for healthcare workers that allows them to buy a dozen glazed donuts and get a second dozen for $1 through Labor Day 2020.) To make this truly effective and supportive, go as far as you can on tapping into the benefits before involving your nurse friend. Instead of texting to say, "Hey, Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey has free masks!" go ahead and get the email address and all the information needed, and forward it so your friend can just take a second or two to claim the freebie. And there's no law against you accessing the same perk and passing it to a front-line nurse, if the promotion has been extended to all medical professionals and you qualify."},{"_id":"ZU56NVRKQ5FKNJPBS5XZ3AU3JU","type":"text","content":"Find out how your employer might help stressed nurses. As a fellow employee, you're in a unique position to learn about your company's offerings for mental health services, medical coverage for different level employees and numerous other benefits or programs. If you've got time, create a short list of what's available and how to access it. And then let your front-line worker pals know that you've done the research and have a pretty good idea of what services are available and where they can start if they need help. Sometimes those suffering PTSD or compassion fatigue find it extra hard to access the programs that could help with anxiety or depression, because, well, they're anxious or depressed. You can be a helpful bridge here, if you're willing."},{"_id":"EELCVF27IVHD7MJJGMKDM2SJ44","type":"text","content":"» RELATED: A coronavirus resource list for Georgia and Southeastern nurses

As the pandemic wears on, it's way too easy for the rest of the world to forget about the nurses toiling in ICUs and other areas stretched to the limit by COVID-19. Make up for that by being sure to text or email your favorite front-line worker, or even someone you're not all that fond of that you know can use the support. Be sure to tailor the check-in to that person's communication style.

Some of the front-line heroes are night-shift nurses, which can involve too much isolation even at the best of times. If you also work nights, make sure to reach out to this oft-ignored group with well wishes, encouragement and maybe a coffee gift card or two. If you're on a different shift, pick a time you could both talk, or Zoom, or take a socially-distanced walk together. Just having someone inquire about their schedule can really give those nurses a boost. Keep it simple. Ask, "What's a good time to reach you?

If you're one of that group, consider boosting the morale of your front-line nursing compatriots by vowing to up your safety observances whenever you're in public. Sure, it's inconvenient. But when emergency, ICU, respiratory and other nurses must face the daily stress and sadness of caring for COVID-19 patients, donning a mask in public seems like a way to respect their efforts and support them.

But as a fellow nurse at the same hospital, you could most likely take the time to encourage your front-line colleagues while maintaining safety precautions and social distancing. Remember, it's also important to look out for yourself during this pandemic and all the societal and family pressures that come in its wake.

She'd experienced a syncopal (fainting) episode about two months before her death, and she had been to the emergency room just the day before and sent home. Neither incident revealed the congenital cardiac arrhythmia that would cause her to collapse and suffer five cardiac events followed by a massive coronary event. What she knew from being a nurse didn't help during the event, DeBusk wrote in a wrenching account for the Love What Matters blog.

There was one more possibility, an experimental drug. Being in the four-person trial gave DeBusk such harsh side effects she told her doctors, "I can't. Just let me die."

"But it keeps coming back to me that no one, no one, should feel this sorrow...I want to educate and empower people.
