1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop breast cancer. This is a staggering statistic and one that underscores how important it is for men and women to be educated about the dangers and take a proactive approach to early detection.

The infographic below shines the spotlight on some other statistics related to breast cancer, and while the rates of diagnoses have slowed since 1990, more than 200,000 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in U.S. women.

Donations to organizations such as the Susan G. Komen Foundation help fund education, treatments, screenings and research, so that one day we may find a cure.

It’s an oft-touted fact: Men don’t like to go to the doctor.

We can talk about it anecdotally, however, there is a set of data that seems to support this assertion. Nursing@Georgetown recently released an infographic titled “Spotlight on Men’s Health,” which lays out some pretty sobering statistics about the state of men’s health, and how through raising awareness and advancing health education, we can begin to combat some of these preventable issues.

Did you know that two-thirds of men would not seek a health care professional if they were experiencing chest pain or shortness of breath, two early warning signs of a heart attack? Check out some similar statistics in the info graphic below.

Did you know that June is Men’s Health Month? Its purpose is to encourage early detection of preventable health issues in men and boys through screenings, health fairs, media appearances, and other health education and outreach activities, according to the official site.

The statistics are pretty sobering: men do not see physicians for a physical exam nearly as often as women, they’re more likely to be uninsured and about 30,000 men in the U.S. die every year due to prostate cancer, according to the Men’s Health Network.

But it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. There are steps you can take right now to help bring awareness to this important issue and encourage the men in your life to make their health a priority. Here are a few suggestions:

Plan a “Wear Blue Day.”
Get your family or co-workers thinking about the importance of Men’s Health Month by organizing a “Wear Blue Day,” started by the Men’s Health Network and aimed at raising awareness about men’s health issues. Choose a day, an amount that you’d ideally like to raise for an organization that supports this cause, and go blue from head to toe.

Plan a mini health fair.
Ask a local doctor or nurse to visit your workplace, church or community group to talk about the importance of prevention and educating men about health issues. Specific topics could include heart health, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, blood pressure and more.

Get physical.
Round up your neighbors, co-workers, family and friends to participate in some fun activities that get your blood pumping. Some possibilities include: a group walk, game of golf or flag football, tennis, hiking or even bowling. More and more studies are telling us that sitting is killing us, so use this month as a great excuse to get moving.

In celebration of Men’s Health Month, Sam’s Club also is offering free men’s health screenings at its pharmacies on June 9. The first 75 people who show up from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. will receive a prostate-specific antigen test, as well as body mass index and blood pressure tests.

What are some ways you’re planning on celebrating?

I read somewhere that 30 percent of nurses of nurses are over the age of 50. So that means 30 percent of you should pick up the phone and schedule your colonoscopy in honor of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Nurses are notorious for helping others stay healthy and ignoring their own needs. Hey, we're too busy to worry about ourselves, right? But I would be remiss in my duty as an Oncology Certified Nurse if I did not encourage you to go out and have a simple screening performed that can SAVE YOUR LIFE.

According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the second most common deadly cancer for men and women combined. Pretty scary, huh? But you know what's crazy? It's said to be 90 percent PREVENTABLE when precancerous colorectal polyps are identified and removed.

If you are over 50, it's recommended that you get a baseline colonoscopy. As a nurse, you should already know that they don't hurt. They give you some conscious sedation and some pain meds, and you won't remember a thing. My friends who've had them done will tell you that the worst part of the whole thing is the bowel prep, but one of them did mentioned that she caught up a lot on her reading during that bathroom time so it's not ALL bad. Then, if screening is normal, you won't have to have another one for 10 years! Not bad, huh?

We encourage our patients to have health screenings, and engage in preventive behaviors, but unless we practice what we preach, how can they take us seriously? I know several nurses personally who are colon cancer survivors, so nurses are not immune from developing such a disease.

The symptoms of colorectal cancer can vary and include things like abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, and blood in the stool. These symptoms can indicate a number of more benign conditions as well, so don't let fear keep you from going to the doctor if you have been experiencing such conditions. With any cancer, early detection leads to a better prognosis so the earlier you get checked out, the better.

It's like they tell you on the airplane safety lecture: be sure to attend to your own needs before helping others. To be at our best when our jobs get tough, we need to keep ourselves healthy in order to keep our patients healthy.

Happy Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!

As you may know, February is American Heart Month. Why is this important? Because heart disease kills more men and women than any other cause, including cancer. Even breast cancer.

The thing is, we often overlook risk factors for heart disease and we do things that are not really nice to our hearts. As busy professionals, nurses often do things like eat foods that are not healthy but convenient. We don't always have the time to exercise, and sometimes we feel to exhausted to even think about it. Even though we know better, some of us smoke, or drink more alcohol than we should. And probably almost all of us are living with high stress levels that we are ignoring. I know I am no picture of health. Up until the last few months I ate fast food...a lot. About the only workout I get is when I go up and down the stairs in my house. And Lord knows I have a lot of stress eating away at me. And the thing that makes it even worse is that I have a family history of heart disease.

So what do we do to protect ourselves from this nasty killer of women and men? Eat right by getting at least 9 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Limit your red meat and unhealthy fats, choosing healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day on most days of the week. Quit smoking if you currently are doing so. Limit your alcohol intake to 1 drink per day or less...although red wine does seem to have some protective heart benefits. And this will be the hard one. Learn to de-stress. My doctor is on me all the time about that one. He's even recommended I try something called HeartMath-although I am sure there are similar programs that work just as well. Even a few minutes a day of meditation or guided imagery may help.

Secondly, arm yourself with knowledge of the symptoms of a heart attack, and know when to seek medical attention for any health concerns. Heart attack symptoms are different in women than men, you can check out this website at the American Heart Association to learn more about them.

So this February, don't forget to wear your red scrubs in honor of Heart Awareness month. Although the National Go Red For Women day has passed, that still doesn't mean we can't raise knowledge of the problem. And love your heart-it's the only one you've got!

Comfy and stylish

this jacket is comfortable but still looks great. I like how the style looks more like a cardigan than a jacket and the big pockets are helpful because when I'm wearing it I can keep all my supplies in my outer layer!

Landau recently introduced a new line of nursing shoes called Veggies. These shoes work hard at keeping up with you and keeping you comfortable. Go for the Big Flower pattern and add that something extra that your medical uniform is missing!

The Veggies are an ultra-lightweight clog with a slip-resistant rubber anti-static sole. Silver Technology insert and heel pad provide added comfort along with protective toe/heel guards. Resists abrasion and shock absorbing. They are also very easy to clean.

The Big Flower print is so charming! But you don't have to take our word for it.

Here’s a review from our customer Logachelle in Coalinga, CA:

I positively ADORE these shoes. I get complements on them all the time. A male vascular surgeon even stopped what he was saying, did a double take, and said " I like your shoes"! LOL Very comfie too and I am usually a crocs only gal.

 

Lydia's PRO Stretch scrubs are inspired by the brands you love. We improved the fit, construction, and best of all - the price! Material that is light weight and stretches with movement… Soft and comfortable!

It is 27 1/2" long and is made with 59% cotton/38% polyester/3% spandex.

My Favorite Scrub Pants

These are my favorite scrub pants. I am 5'3" and the petite are a perfect length. I like the flare leg and as another reviewer stated, they are not too wide at the bottom. They are true to size. I highly recommend these pants.
