For all the care that nurses give their patients, they often forget to take care of themselves. That’s why Xiomely Famighetti, an ICU nurse at South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore, wrote the book Self-Care for Nurses: 100+ Ways to Rest, Reset, and Feel Your Best, which was released by Simon & Schuster’s Adams Media imprint on April 19.

A critical care nurse at Northwell Health's Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, who became famous in December as the first person in the United States to be vaccinated against the Covid-19 virus, was honored at the White House Friday and will be the grand marshal of Wednesday's Hometown Heroes Parade in New York City.

The Northwell Health Nurse Choir from Long Island put on an inspiring and heartwarming audition on America’s Got Talent, impressing the judges and earning them the golden buzzer, giving them an automatic spot in the quarterfinals. 

A Merrick nurse was arrested and arraigned on Tuesday for allegedly stealing more than 1,000 vials of fentanyl and midazolam last year from her now-former place of employment at North Shore University Hospital, according to Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas.
