Loneliness in #Seniors Is Hazardous to Their Health, By Martine Ehrenclou, M.A. @Med_Writer #nurseup:

Loneliness in Seniors Is Hazardous to Their Health, By Martine Ehrenclou, M.A. @Med_Writer #nurseup:"In reading the San Francisco Chronicle article, "Loneliness Lethal for Seniors, UCSF Study Says," by Erin Allday, I thought about the number of seniors I know who have become isolated, one of them being a member of my immediate family. His medical conditions now prevent him from leaving the house without being accompanied by a caregiver. His career as a successful attorney has long since past.
I discovered Bill (not his real name) just before my mother's funeral twelve years ago. My mother was adopted and I never knew she had sought out her biological parents and in the process had found a close relative. Having very little of my own family of origin, I originally sought him out through phone calls and letters. He was reticent at first, probably a little overwhelmed by my enthusiasm over finding a biological relative."

Don’t Miss #Keynote Donna Cardillo, RN MSN, @DonnaCardilloRN, The Power of YOU, #NNBA2013

Don’t Miss #Keynote Donna Cardillo, RN MSN, @DonnaCardilloRN, The Power of YOU, #NNBA2013:”Thomas Edison said that if we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves. Yet each of us uses only about 10% of our potential in our lifetime.Why? Because we are plagued with fear, self-doubt, and negativity. In reality, each of us is more powerful and capable than we give ourselves credit for. We have boundless potential and limitless opportunities. So how do you break through to be all you can be, follow your dreams, and leave a lasting legacy? Spend 50 minutes with one of the country’s most successful nurse entrepreneurs and learn to develop the strength, the courage, and the wisdom that is already within you and that will lead you to your highest self. You’re guaranteed to leave feeling inspired, empowered, and ready for action!”

Nurses are too afraid to speak up in their organizations and be vocal, KevinMd.com, ALENE NITZKY, RN, PHD:"The administration there came up with the brilliant idea of cutting back on housekeeping staff and making nurses do some of the cleaning, though it’s not specified how much. Nurses would be expected to take out the trash and linens, and mop up spot cleans on the floors, among other things.

They mentioned Florence Nightingale. But good ol’ Flo didn’t work these days when nurses do much more than light lamps, give baths and put warm compresses on people. She wasn’t responsible for titrating IV medications, giving chemotherapy, or bringing someone back from cardiac arrest. And she didn’t have to document everything she did in an EHR either.

The response of the administrators to backlash from the nurses was to tell them not to vent about it to the patients, to go to the administrators and vent. That heavy-handed approach always backfires. People are already talking about it in online nursing forums and other social media. No one trusts the higher-ups, few people want to risk their job by speaking up. The truth comes out in other ways, and makes its way to the mass media.

Nurses As Housekeepers at Vanderbilt Medical Center: An Untold Story Behind the Story, by Rosemary Gibson, Senior Advisor, The Hastings Center and Author, Battle Over Health Care: What Obama’s Reform Means for America’s Future

Hospital budget cuts became viscerally visible earlier this month when Vanderbilt Medical Center announced that nurses must now perform housekeeping duties — cleaning patients’ rooms and bathrooms.

In case you missed the video of the internal announcement secretly recorded by a nurse that aired on  Nashville’s WSMV television station, here it is.

http://centerforhealthmediapolicy.com/2013/09/24/nurses-as-housekeepers-at-vanderbilt-medical-center-an-untold-story-behind-the-story/

Tell Vanderbilt Medical Center: Nurses are NOT Janitors! ThePetitionSite.com:"Vanderbilt Medical Center has come up with an absurd way to deal with budget cuts - by having nurses clean patients' room in addition to their already busy work load. In addition to their regular care duties, nurses will now be responsible for stripping bed linens, removing the trash, and mopping the floor after seeing patients. Forcing this new duty on nurses will harm morale, which can lead to decresed patient satisfaction. In addition, this new task may be exposing patients to potential harm. Bed linens and trash cans typically contain bodily fluids. Forcing nurses to clean these areas could lead to cross contamination, a potential hazard to patients. Nurses are not janitors. Tell Vanderbilt Medical Center to stop treating nurses like janitors." http://www.thepetitionsite.com/506/669/666/tell-vanderbilt-medical-center-nurses-are-not-janitors/ ****************************************************** Vanderbilt Medical Center to have #nurses cleaning up, Reported by Kimberly Curth, @VUMChealth @WFSBnews #nurseup #Nashville #Tennessee #RN #LPN (Do read the comments at the bottom please):"The Channel 4 I-Team has learned some Vanderbilt nurses will now be in charge of cleaning patients' rooms, even bathrooms. Sanitized environments in hospitals are critical to a patient's health, but the new cost cutting measure has at least one nurse concerned. "Cleaning the room after the case, including pulling your trash and mopping the floor, are all infection-prevention strategies. And it's all nursing, and it's all surgical tech. You may not believe that, but even Florence Nightingale knew that was true," said a hospital administrator to staff in a video obtained by the Channel 4 I-Team. The new cleaning changes were also detailed in an email sent to staff of the Vanderbilt Medical Center East team, which - according to a hospital employee - works in surgery areas and patient rooms." http://www.wfsb.com/story/23364976/vanderbilt-medical-center-to-have-nurses-cleaning-up ****************************************************** What Do Nurses Do in Between Patients? At This Hospital, They’re Cleaning Toilets, Care2.com:"Unsurprisingly, doing janitorial work doesn’t appear to be one of the ways of boosting nursing morale, especially when the nursing staff is allowed no input or feedback on the proposal. In fact, the nursing staff was ordered not to speak in public at all about the new workload. “Nurses were told to ‘refrain from speaking negatively about this in an open forum where our customer can hear. If you need to vent come see me,’” reports Eyewitness News TV 3. The new duties aren’t just a concern to nurses because of the time involved, but the potential increase for harming patients as well. The trash or linens can often contain waste with bodily fluid on it or other contamination, which could cause serious health issues if patients are subject to them. The idea has many nurses rightfully worried about potential cross-contamination, a hazard the hospital administration appears to dismiss." http://www.care2.com/causes/what-do-nurses-do-in-between-patients-at-this-hospital-theyre-cleaning-toilets.html

• It is unacceptable that you would cut budget and make the nurses act as custodians. How much of a paycut did the administrative section take? None? How much of a profit do you make? I genuinely can’t believe that a Hospital somehow can’t afford a custodial staff. It makes me suspect of your entire operation. I wouldn’t bring my loved ones to a hospital like this even in an emergency.

    Vanderbilt Health Nicole, thank you for your interest. The news coverage you have seen does not tell the complete story.
    
    The safety and cleanliness of our facilities remains the utmost priority. While we are reorganizing workflow, systems and processes to increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness, we will be adding 18 new Environmental Services staff during this fiscal year.
    
    The changes referenced in this news coverage are specific to our surgical areas and are intended to ensure that operating rooms are made available in a timely, consistent manner. What is being asked of our nursing staff is increased teamwork to help clinical technicians ready operating rooms and patient holding areas when needed.
    
    All decisions about operational redesign in clinical areas are being made around two priorities: patient safety and the Medical Center’s commitment to continue to deliver Vanderbilt quality care. – Cynthia

      Shane Anderson The “increased teamwork” line betrays that you believe that your nurses just need to “try harder” and “be better.” What a condescending approach. That kind of corporate-speak is just pure self-serving nonsense. Why nurses continue to allow such abuse…See More

      Andrew Lopez It sounds like your main concern, is not making sure rooms are thoroughly cleaned, sanitized, prepared. It sounds like your concern is strictly MONETARY, in that you want to get as many people in, out of the operating room to increase billable procedures with an drastically decreased focus on the quality of care that nurses so lovingly provide to the best of their ability.

    Andrew Lopez So kindly explain how using #Licensed #Nurses to do work that does not require a license, for which you currently pay your employees significantly less, would enhance patient safety or cut costs – Without sacrficing #patient #Safety which is directly tied to #nursing hours at the #bedside.

Listening To Nurses Is Key To Being A Good Doctor, by Doctor Grumpy, MD, KevinMD #nursefriendly #nurseup

Listening To Nurses Is Key To Being A Good Doctor, by Doctor Grumpy, MD, KevinMD #nursefriendly #nurseup:"I started out in medicine in the mid-80?s, volunteering at an ER. And the biggest shock to me was learning how much of what happens in a hospital is nurse territory. Doctors will see you anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes a day, depending on how sick you are. And the rest is the nurses. They're the ones making sure you get your pills and checking that your vital signs aren't dropping. They make sure you don't fall down and break something. If you start vomiting, doctors will run out of the room and the nurses will rush in. They change your wound dressings and start your IV line. They'll bring you a warm blanket. And clean disgusting things off you. Even if you're drunk. Or delirious. Or mean. And through all of this they try be friendly and positive. Even though you aren't their only sick patient."

Linda Leekley RN & Stacey Turnure RN, @embracecivility, #RNFMradio #nurseup #nursefriendly:"When two North Carolina nurses met, they knew they had several things in common. They were both passionate about nursing, had a knack for writing and were driven to inspire others to embrace lifelong learning.
They later discovered they had something else in common�something they were not talking about. They had both suffered the ill effects of incivility in the healthcare workplace. Why weren't they talking about it? Because no one talks about it. It's healthcare's dirty little secret. No one wants to admit that a shameful culture of incivility infects most healthcare workplaces."

Would appreciate your feedback. The ones I'm looking at are talking about $326 per credit (12 total) for a BSN and $456 per credit for an MSN/NP degree (42 credit for a Family Nurse Practitioner.)

We talking big bucks, but to do it all online at my convenience, think it will be well worth it. Am especially excited about the #AffordableCareAct expanding the roles/responsibilities of NPs, PAs, etc."

North Carolina DHHS makes flu vaccines mandatory for healthcare workers. #nurseup #vaccination #influenza

North Carolina DHHS makes flu vaccines mandatory for healthcare workers:"The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services recently directed leaders of 14 state-operated healthcare facilities to institute a mandatory flu vaccination policy for 10,000 employees and volunteers to protect patients.
Employees of the DHHS Division of State Operated Healthcare Facilities were told about the policy in late August. Employees must be vaccinated by December 1.
“More than 52 hospitals and health systems in our state have already made the judicious decision to implement mandatory flu vaccination policies to protect against illness,” Aldona Wos, the DHHS secretary, said. “Because many of the patients and residents in our state facilities are at high risk for complications from flu, this is a responsible decision that will create a safer environment for our patients and staff.”
