Sponge Count Off, Patient Develops Sepsis, Surgeon Blames Nurse. #surgery #surgical #surgeon #nursefriendly

Sponge Count Off, Patient Develops Sepsis, Surgeon Blames Nurse. #surgery #surgical #surgeon #nursefriendly:"Sponge Counts are a basic and critical safety measure during a surgical operation. In this case, the standard three counts were not performed. A sponge was left in the patient that would later lead to infection. When the issue went to court, the surgeon claimed "it was not his responsibility" to keep track of the sponges. The patient was admitted for surgical repair of a hernia. The operation was performed and the patient returned to the floors without obvious incident."

SoleProprietorships, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Corporations. Which Business organizations did you choose & why?:"When setting up my business, my main goal was tax write-offs that I knew the #Fortune500 companies had been taking forever. My "corporate" address is my home, my business in lieu of "rent" pays most utilities, my cell phones, owns my car and can write or pay in "Pre-Tax" dollars (imagine a 30% discount on every monthly utility bill for life)."

Ending Nurse Bullying: "Freire Style" Renee Thompson, MSN, RN, @RTconnections #nurseup #bullying

Ending Nurse Bullying: "Freire Style" Renee Thompson, MSN, RN, @RTconnections #nurseup #bullying:"Nurse bullying is a problem. But is it a new problem? The answer is no. Humans treating humans with disrespect has been documented since we walked on two feet instead of four. I’m sure there is a caveman drawing somewhere depicting bullying behavior. Although I’d like to believe we’ve evolved a bit since the caveman era, humans treating humans badly still exists.

It’s no different in the nursing profession. However, bullying just seems more perverse in a profession dedicated to caring and compassion. It just doesn’t make sense. How can nurses, who are equals, pick on each other? Isn’t nursing challenging enough without having our own peers making it worse? I just don’t get it. Neither did Paulo Freire, a sociologist, who spent time in various countries observing human behavior. Dr. Freire witnessed people oppressing each other – peers oppressing peers. Not administration/government oppressing the people. In his book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Dr. Freire’s offers us a solution to oppression by taking an in-depth look at the dynamics between the oppressor and the oppressed. I took the liberty of adapting his recommendations to nurse bullying."

Sleep Apnea Monitor Turned off or Ignored By Nursing Staff, Patient's Coding Goes Unnoticed

Sleep Apnea Monitor Turned off or Ignored By Nursing Staff, Patient's Coding Goes Unnoticed:"Monitors and Monitored patients present special challenges to practicing

nurses. Like a call bell, when alarms on a monitor are activated, they can signal benign or life-threatening events. In this case, a patient's monitors did not alarm as expected.

The patient was in distress and would be found without respirations and pulseless by the nurse on duty.

All in the balance: Nurse practitioners are ready to help meet baby boomers’ growing needs. #nurseup #aprn #healthcare

All in the balance: Nurse practitioners are ready to help meet baby boomers’ growing needs:"As they grow older, about 70 million baby boomers will test the mettle of the nation’s healthcare system — particularly its supply of primary care providers — like never before. Will there be enough PCPs to meet boomers’ chronic care needs? Some say no and are working toward securing nurse practitioners’ expanded scope of practice across the county, which will allow NPs to meet the growing need for more providers.

Members of America’s massive generation of baby boomers — people born from Jan. 1, 1946, through Dec. 31, 1964 — are now reaching age 65 at a rate of roughly 10,000 a day. The combination of aging baby boomers and an expected influx of patients seeking healthcare in 2014 under provisions of the Affordable Care Act may provide fodder for nurse practitioners seeking to expand scope-of-practice laws in the 34 states that limit it."

Faced with a New Diagnosis? 10 tips to be your own best advocate, Martine Ehrenclou, @Med_writer #nurseup

Faced with a New Diagnosis? 10 tips to be your own best advocate, +Martine Ehrenclou, @Med_writer:"You’re sitting in your physician’s exam room, clothed in a gown. Your test results are in and you are about to discuss them with your doctor. You’ve had symptoms that prompted those tests and worst-case scenarios are flooring the accelerator on your fears. Your doctor walks in and greets you with a smile and asks how you are, a question you’d be happy to answer after she discloses the results.

Your physician introduces a diagnosis that requires treatment, perhaps a few more tests or even a procedure. While your thoughts are tripping over the medical information, the image of your kids at school comes to mind along with the question, “Who will pick them up if I’m undergoing treatment?” You’re now ten steps ahead of the doctor, plotting what to do next. Should you surrender and simply let the doctor handle everything? Not exactly."

http://www.nursingentrepreneurs.com/radcliffe

Lori 'Minky' Radcliffe, RN, BS, CFNC, CFPC, Founder of Certified Fitness Nurse™ Academy, @loriminkyrad:"At CertifiedFitnessNurseCoach.com we are not personal trainers who happen to be nurses. We show nurses how to stay in the health care industry and promote exercise within a 'not-so-healthy' pre-diabetic population;and NOT try to be a nurse in the fitness 'percieved healthy' industry. Just as waist reduction is 20% exercise and 80% diet; Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coaches are 20% fitness and 80% nursing in our practice. We teach a physical-environmental-financial-social-emotional model... like a nursing assessment.

We offer a 23-hour certification course for nurses who are fitness enthusiasts, who want to help pre-diabetics, with a specifically designed program for them, that will improve their health and reduce their waists in a sustainable manner. This is done through a 12-week group coaching course via the computer, video and telephone. We also teach you how to get started with only a few clients working part-time, from home and making full time money in a scalable business model. The physician and other health care professionals are actually where we get our clients and we utilize a fitness nursing assessment to determine the right minimum effective dose (M.E.D.) of diet, exercise and supplementation, the right client and the right time, which are the 3 Rights of a Certified Fitness Nurse™ Coach."

Physician Dismisses #Nursing Assessments, #Patient Almost Loses Limb. #CaseStudy #nurseup #nursefriendly

Physician Dismisses #Nursing Assessments, #Patient Almost Loses Limb. #CaseStudy #nurseup #nursefriendly:”The patient was involved in a motorcycle accident in which his bike fell onto and injured his left leg. When the nurses assessing the patient could not detect a pulse in that leg, an ominous sign of circulatory failure. The physician when notified chose to dismiss this fact and discharge the patient. The patient would return soon after with worsening symptoms that would require emergency surgery. Should the nurses have initially pressed for further action, treatment?”

Nurse Practice Tip: Treating Hyperkalemia-The Glucose & Insulin Shuffle. Renee Thompson, @RTconnections

Nurse Practice Tip: Treating Hyperkalemia-The Glucose & Insulin Shuffle. @RTconnections:"When I teach clinical seminars, I always, always talk about fluid and electrolytes. One of my favorite things to talk about is potassium. In particular, how we treat hypo and hyperkalemia. In the next few blog posts, I'm going to map out some of the most common treatments for hyperkalemia - starting with glucose and insulin."

Patient Safety: A Success Story, (A great example of why nurse intimidation can be lethal) #nurseup #nursefriendly:”Prevention of medical errors starts with correct medical orders and diagnosis. When that does not happen, the healthcare team is expected to question orders that are incorrect and don’t make sense. This narration tells the story of a patient injured in a car accident, a failure to diagnose a lung injury, and an order written by a physician that needed to be questioned.”

Patient Left Unrestrained, Patient Injured. Nurses Judgement Call, #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare

Patient Left Unrestrained, Patient Injured. Nurses Judgement Call, #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare:”The decision to use or not use restraints must be made with caution and good judgement. Their intended purpose must be to protect either the patient or others who may be injured by the patient including the staff caring for the client. The ultimate determination of necessity is left with the physician. Often, the moment to moment necessity is determined by the nurse. In this case a nurse did not feel restraining the patient was necessary. When an injury occurred, the patient sued.

The Benefits of Crafting…, Michelle Podlesni, RN, @Mpodlesni - #nurseup #crafting #smallbusiness

The Benefits of Crafting…, Michelle Podlesni, RN, @Mpodlesni:"This past week’s Parade Magazine had an article on the benefits of crafting and how it is making a comeback in this country. More than half of U.S. households take part in at least one crafting activity such as canning, scrapbooking, and sewing. The article said that some reasons for this rise in making homemade goods relates to people trying to slow down the pace of modern life, people desiring to learn skills passed down from their grandparents and the sense of accomplishment and the pleasure of creating things. The article spoke of a gentleman that after an extended illness found that he had difficulty concentrating. His therapist recommended a meditative hobby such as knitting. He found that knitting calmed his hyperactive mind and people would ask him where he got his hat and scarves. He started selling them and it became so lucrative that he quit his job and now enjoys his craft full time."
