Walk (or not) in support of mental health
The National Alliance on Mental Illness chapter of Greater Toledo will once again adapt their annual NAMIWalks fundraiser into a virtual event. NAMIWalks Your Way will be held on Saturday, May 22 beginning at 8am. Participants can choose to raise money for NAMI by walking a 5K on their own, but it’s not necessary— individuals are invited to be creative and come up with their own ideas for how to participate. Everyone is then encouraged to post about their event on social media using the hashtag #NotAlone. To register or donate to the event, visit namiwalks.org
Think like a nurse
How does a nurse learn to make decisions on behalf of patients, and how can they continue to sharpen that instinct over time? Bowling Green State University is hosting a virtual symposium, “Clinical Judgment: Thinking Like a Nurse”, on Tuesday, May 18. The event will present strategies to develop decision-making capabilities using evidence, experience, communication and other factors. Nursing students and educators, health care professionals and others are invited to attend. The symposium is free, though a donation to BGSU’s Nursing Scholarship Fund is encouraged. Visit bgsu.edu to register.
