A study conducted by the company titled The Weight of Words found that three in four Millennial women in Canada say that 'harmful beauty messages' from the early 2000s continue to impact how they feel about their bodies today. 'As the generation with the lowest self-esteem, it's clear Millennial women are still recovering from decades of unrealistic beauty expectations around how their bodies should look,' said Divya Singh, head of Unilever Personal Care, Canada, in a news release. Identifying with that lingering impact, Nurse signed on to star in a new campaign for Dove called #UnseenBeauty. The Professional Women's Hockey League ( PWHL) Vancouver player is joining Canadian content creators to help build a more healthy depiction of what beauty looks like. 'Growing up in the early 2000s, hearing so much language that was very unkind to women's bodies, it just resonated,' Nurse says of the campaign. ' And as an athlete, being a little bit more muscular, a little more broad, a little taller, I didn't necessarily see women like that represented to me. So I think the power of social media has been amazing because we're normalizing normal women who are living their everyday lives. 'People are able to see how many different types of women there are in the world. And I think that's really special.' With fashion and pop culture references from the Aughts making a strong comeback, it's a perfect time to revisit the conversation around body positivity and beauty standards. 'So many things that were on our TV screens and in magazines that we saw growing up were targeted around this, like very narrow idea and ideal of a body image and a body type,' Nurse says. 'This is our opportunity to change the language when we are speaking about our bodies, so that the next generations don't experience the trauma that Millennial women have.'

Fans melt over Darnell Nurse's Wife's wedding kiss post while the Edmonton Oilers might be planning his exit
(Image Source - Getty Images) Darnell Nurse is in the limelight for both a heartwarming occasion and some trade talks. His wife, Mikayla Nurse, recently shared a beautiful Instagram post featuring a kiss between them at the wedding of ex-Oilers teammate Warren Foegele. The caption, "It's the season of love [heart emoji]," truly warmed the hearts of fans. Still, behind this lovely moment, the Oilers may be thinking about a major move concerning Nurse's future with the team. Darnell Nurse and Mikayla Nurse share heartfelt the wedding celebration Mikayla Nurse uploaded a photo on Instagram that quickly became a hit with fans. The picture featured her and Darnell sharing a loving kiss during the wedding festivities of Warren Foegele, a former Oilers forward who was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes in 2021 for left-winger Warren Foegele. The wedding united several Oilers players, both former and current, emphasizing the strong community within the team. Mikayla's caption, "It's the season of love [heart emoji]," perfectly summed up the joyous occasion, and fans couldn't get enough of the couple's affection. This intimate moment provided a look into Nurse's life beyond the rink, revealing that he's not only a hockey star but also a devoted husband and father. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The Nurses welcomed their first child, a son named Aiden, on May 24, 2025, only hours after the Oilers were eliminated from the playoffs. Edmonton Oilers quietly explore trade options involving Darnell Nurse during offseason As fans were melting over the wedding kiss, a different narrative was playing out behind the scenes. On his "32 Thoughts" podcast, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, known as the NHL's top insider, dropped a major revelation. He disclosed that the Edmonton Oilers had contacted several players with no-trade clauses, including Darnell Nurse, to assess their willingness to waive them. Friedman noted, "I think basically Edmonton went to a check with all their guys who had no trade clauses, who they would want to move and say, 'Okay, how many of you are willing to go places?' . .. But, you know, Nurse, I don't think he wants to go anywhere". This recent episode brought to light an intriguing revelation: it's the first reliable sign that the Oilers might be contemplating a trade for Nurse, an important player on their defense line. Friedman didn't state that the team specifically requested Nurse to waive his clause, but the mere act of checking in indicates they're considering their options. Darnell Nurse's 2024-25 season proves he's still a key contributor for the Edmonton Oilers To really understand why Nurse's potential trade is such a big deal, we should look at his path with the Oilers. He was drafted seventh overall in the 2013 NHL Draft and has been a foundational player in the team's defense for over ten years. Across 716 career games—all with Edmonton—he's tallied 300 points, which includes 81 goals and 219 assists. His 2024-25 season was among his best, with 33 points (5 goals, 28 assists) in 76 games, a plus-11 rating, 188 shots on goal, and 72 penalty minutes, averaging 22:22 of ice time per game. Still, his contract worth $9.25 million per year (AAV), which he signed back in 2021 and lasts until the 2029-30 season, has stirred up some discussion. The eight-year deal totaling $74 million was signed by former general manager Ken Holland, who is now with the Los Angeles Kings, and it comes with a full no-movement clause that transitions to a no-trade clause during the last three years. Also Read: The Edmonton Oilers' left side heats up as Bob Stauffer eyes Jake Walman, Mattias Ekholm, and Mac Gadowsky Another thing to consider is that with a fixed salary cap and high hopes—supported by stars like Connor McDavid, whose wife Lauren Kyle recently suggested he's committed to Edmonton for the long haul—the Oilers could be aiming to clear some cap space. Nurse's $9.25 million AAV is a significant amount, and moving him might allow them to enhance the roster for a shot at the Stanley Cup. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4.

AANA Condemns UnitedHealthcare's Unlawful, Discriminatory Anesthesia Reimbursement Changes
ROSEMONT, Ill., July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) strongly condemns UnitedHealthcare's announced changes to their anesthesia calculations, including a 15% cut in reimbursement for claims submitted for services rendered by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) independently. 'This is yet another attempt to discriminate against CRNAs by offering less compensation for their skills, expertise, and time,' said AANA President Jan Setnor, MSN, CRNA, Col. (Ret), USAFR, NC. 'All anesthesia providers are trained in and use the exact same techniques to administer anesthesia, yet no other providers face the same cut – UnitedHealthcare is blatantly targeting CRNAs, based on their licensure alone. This action is unlawful, unacceptable, and unconscionable, particularly as our nation continues to face a shortage of anesthesia providers.' The policy is targeted specifically at anesthesia services appended with the QZ modifier, meaning CRNAs working independently and legally working to the top of their license. This is in direct conflict with the federal provider non-discrimination provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). AANA filed a petition for a writ of mandamus in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio asking the court to compel the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary to enforce the provision against insurance companies and health plans. This is a duty that the secretary is legally obligated to perform, and which would prevent bad actors from taking advantage of CRNA knowledge, skill and labor. UnitedHealthcare's discriminatory policies are a direct result of the Secretary's inaction. 'At a time when the country is acutely aware of healthcare costs and accessibility, United is choosing to pursue a reimbursement policy that will devastate healthcare delivery by further impeding patient access, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Make no mistake, this change only serves UnitedHealthcare's profits by shifting costs to hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers under the guise of a discriminatory attack on CRNA provided care. Further, this policy directly conflicts with the federal provider nondiscrimination law for commercial health plans. United needs to put patients above profits,' Setnor continued. The provider nondiscrimination provision in the ACA was passed in 2010 to prohibit health plans/health insurance companies (commercial payors) from discriminating against providers based on licensure, including setting up different reimbursement policies for those providers delivering the same high-quality healthcare services. In 2020, the No Surprises Act required the HHS, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Treasury to issue rules and enforcement policies within one year. However, there is still no level of enforcement in place. Until this is completed, commercial payors like United can continue to jeopardize patients' access to care through discriminatory policies. AANA calls on UnitedHealthcare to follow the course of its peers in the insurance industry and reverse course on this discriminatory policy immediately. We also call on HHS to enforce the provider nondiscrimination provision of the ACA to protect patients' access to care. UnitedHealthcare's anesthesia reimbursement change is effective October 1, 2025 and will affect all providers except those in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Wyoming.
