The Skin Cancer Foundation - American Academy of Pediatrics Calls for Ban on Youth Tanning:"Tanning The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a group of 60,000 pediatricians, today called for all US tanning salons to bar minors. With this new policy statement, the AAP joins health groups such as the American Medical Association, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Academy of Dermatology, and The Skin Cancer Foundation in demanding a ban on indoor tanning for young people.
We strongly commend the AAP for this definitive statement pushing for prohibition of indoor tanning for young people,” said Perry Robins, MD, President of The Skin Cancer Foundation. “The damage caused by the UV radiation from tanning beds and the sun is cumulative and often irreversible, and the earlier people start to tan, the higher their risk of developing skin cancer in their lifetimes."

Support needed to help nurses tackle substance abuse, Vanderbilt University:"An estimated 10 percent to 20 percent of nurses and nursing students in the United States may have substance abuse, misuse, dependency or addiction problems. The key to tackling this difficult issue — and protecting public safety — is support and treatment rather than punishment, according to a recent paper in the Journal of Clinical Nursing by Todd Monroe, a post-doctoral fellow at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, and colleagues at the University of Tennessee. “Doctors and nurses are only human and face the same problems as everyone else, which can include chemical dependency,” said Monroe."

Gillian Ehrlich, RN, 2009-2010 Winners, Nurses' Educational Funds, Inc.:"Gillian Ehrlich's mission is to make holistic health our common ground in medicine and improve universal access to primary care. This vision of health evolved over a decade spent working mainly with non-profit organizations in direct-service level positions. Beginning with the Pacific Crest Outward Bound School and other wilderness programs, she shared with adolescents the elements required for healthy living: food, shelter, community, exercise, purpose and competency, joy and fresh air. Onto this foundation, she added a season of growing organic food for 25 families in southwest Ohio and functioning as a teacher and domestic violence counselor on the Yankton Sioux Reservation in Lake Andes, South Dakota. Health has been the consistent thread and nursing became the venue for the life-long application of these skills and values. Gillian graduated with a BA/BS degree from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington and a BSN from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She balances her understanding of allopathic medicine with 1000+ hours of Ayurvedic training with Dr. Vasant Lad in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Pune, India. She emerged with sound convictions that health and contentment are possible for each of us, that authentic relationships and a clean environment account for much of this, and that we start healing from whatever shoes in which we currently stand. Gillian currently works as an RN at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington and is studying towards a Doctorate of Nursing Practice as a Family Nurse Practitioner at the University of Washington. Her focus is relationship-centered care, innovative health delivery systems and integrating complementary and alternative medicine into public health primary care."

This would include those in nursing career. Now, if you are one of those experience nurses and look forward to venture into entrepreneurship, just look closely into the practice of your nursing career and you will soon see opportunities that you can attack so as to become a successful entrepreneur. Think positively as the world of nursing is filled with lessons which you can always take the benefit of it. Understand the needs by the community as well the growth of this kind of business that you can grow with. First, in order to be one great nurse entrepreneur, you must have a passion.

After some years of employment experience in the hospital, most nurses are geared towards some more serious focus other than caring for their patients."

How We Got Started, Sarah Cruz, RN, Little Boots Publishing, Rhode Island (RI) Nursing Entrepreneurs:"By some twist of fate, my nursing career has been taken into a new and exciting direction...writing and illustrating storybooks for children. Three years ago our daughter became a burn injury statistic. She sustained a preventable second-degree burn to her hand just a few days before her first birthday that has since healed. Each year too many children are severely burned by various kitchen appliances or by hot foods prepared in the kitchen. The United States has one of the highest rates of burn injury with the peak incidence occurring among children 1 to 5 years of age."

PT Perspective: Heart Disease in Women - Overshadowed and Understated, By: Son Trinh, DPT, Putmebacktogether.com:"It's good to be informed. As PTs, I'd add that it's our responsibility to inform ourselves then to pass on the information to patients. I've come across many women, patients, and co-workers who recognize the dangers of breast cancer and the necessity of research to cure it. Clearly, breast cancer is serious business and the stats are grim. The lifetime prevalence: 1 in 8; number of deaths per year: 40,000. But consider this. Lung cancer claims 70,000 women a year which is more than breast, ovarian and uterine cancers combined. Of those diagnosed with lung cancer, only 1 in 8 survives. The public consciousness seems misinformed on this."

Legal Consulting by Nurses, By Joy Collins, RN, BSBA, CLNC, LNCC, Wild Iris Medical Education, Inc.:"Nurses have been assisting attorneys with their medically related cases for far longer than is generally realized. It is only lately that the sub-specialty of legal nurse consulting has become a recognized field of nursing that the media has thrust into the mainstream. As far back as the 1980s (and probably earlier), nurses and other medical professionals were assisting the legal world to arrive at a fair settlement by moving through the quagmire of medical records and jargon that we nurses take for granted."
