Cool ways that Nurses Week will be celebrated in 2011, Scrubsmag.com

Minnesota
Pediatric Home Service (PHS), based in Roseville, Minn., is a home care agency that provides specialized services to children with complex medical conditions. As you can imagine, planning events for nurses who are out on home visits all day long is difficult, but the folks at PHS have found some simple ways to honor their nurses and make them feel appreciated. Throughout the week, nurses who come into the company’s head office will engage in a scavenger hunt, with the clues being rhymes that include tidbits of educational information and the prize being a little token—last year it was a pacifier. At the end of the week, nurses and staff are invited to connect and interact with each other as they enjoy a treat at an ice cream social.

Florida Legislature Passes Medicaid Reform | Sunshine State News

Florida's Medicaid program will likely undergo fundamental and historic changes in the coming years, as the state Legislature passed a comprehensive reform package Friday, the last day of the legislative session.

 

The bill shifts Medicaid recipients from the government-centered program that provides health care to low-income families by paying providers for services, and into managed-care companies that are contractually obligated to provide services and meet cost-reduction goals.

 

The bill is largely based on a five-year-old pilot program in Broward County and four other North Florida counties, but the statewide move to managed-care companies is unprecedented among the other states.

    During National Nurses Week, we should focus on nursing shortage | The Progressive

    By Suzanne Gordon, May 6, 2011

    May 6-12 is National Nurses Week. Don’t believe the hype that the nursing shortage is over.

    After warning of a shortage for years, American hospitals now claim that we have plenty of nurses at the bedside.

    Hospital administrators are essentially saying that the bad economy is coercing more nurses to stay on the job. Since some nurses’ husbands or wives have lost their jobs in other sectors, nurses are hanging on to their own jobs and delaying retirement.
