iPhone Apps for the Smarter Nursing Student, April 25th, 2011, By, Jennifer Olin, BSN, RN, @Jolin2 #nurseup

iPhone Apps for the Smarter Nursing Student, April 25th, 2011, By, Jennifer Olin, BSN, RN, @Jolin2 #nurseup:”As a nursing student just 10 years ago, I remember being weighed  down every clinical day. My stethoscope hung around my neck, my ID hung off my collar and my pockets were packed with every note I thought I might need to get through  the day. I kept a nursing drug guide in one pocket balanced on the other side of my jacket by a pregnancy wheel, a BMI chart, sticky notes with normal lab values, extra  pens, index cards and a care plan or two to try and follow. Well, no more. Nursing students today have the world at their fingertips with one small tool — the cell phone.  Smart phones are gifts to nursing students because…there’s an app for that — any that.”

Interview with @CoachPerg, The Nurse Coach, by #RNFMRadio, #nurseup #nursefriendly

Interview with @CoachPerg, The Nurse Coach, by #RNFMRadio, #nurseup #nursefriendly:”Michael Pergrem, also known as Coach Perg, is passionate about helping nurses lead the most fulfilling lives possible. In his own words: “I realized there is a great need for nurses to find their true path, either within their careers, or if desired, in pursuing an alternate calling. I came to realize I could better serve those I had cared for by caring for those that serve them (my fellow nurses). Helping nurses avoid or recover from burn-out and rediscover their passion in nursing could only serve to enhance their effectiveness in providing care to those that need them, both at the bedside and at home.
”My mission is to help those other nurses who, like me, have discovered a burning desire to move on, in a different direction, be that a different field in nursing, or a different field altogether.
“In either case to find their path that leads to: Realizing the boundless possibilities that are achievable, self empowerment, and joy. These are the rewards given to those of us who serve our true calling with passion.”

@InnovativeNurse: Why did you choose to publicly support #AmandaTrujillo, RN? #nurseup by Kevin On January 28, 2012:”Jennifer Olin, BSN, RN from RN Central reached out about the Amanda Trujillo story to ask, “How did you pick up this story, and why did you decide to run with it?” My comment below just touches on what this really means to me, and everything that we’ve already done as a core group at the #NurseUp movement is just the beginning. You can read the article posted on RN Central from the slide show below to hear from a number of nurse bloggers out there who have helped with this tremendous cause.”

#Bridal Hunger Games, Losing Weight in Time for the #Wedding (Medical Supervised Weight Loss?) #nurseup #nursefriendly

 

#Bridal Hunger Games, Losing Weight in Time for the #Wedding (Medical Supervised Weight Loss?) #nurseup #nursefriendly:”In March, Jessica Schnaider, 41, of Surfside, Fla., was preparing to shop for a wedding gown by spending eight days on a feeding tube. The diet, under a doctor’s supervision, offered 800 calories a day while she went about her business, with a tube in her nose.
A 2007 Cornell University study by Lori Neighbors and Jeffery Sobal found that 70 percent of 272 engaged women said they wanted to lose weight, typically 20 pounds. So brides are increasingly going on crash diets, inspired by seeing celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker or Gwyneth Paltrow, cowed by the prospect of wearing a revealing and expensive gown and knowing that wedding photos (if not the marriage) are forever.”

Hush, Hush…Keep It Down Now, Voices Carry, @Emergiblog, #nurseup #amandatrujillo

Hush, Hush…Keep It Down Now, Voices Carry, @Emergiblog, #nurseup #amandatrujillo:”The thing that bothers me most about the Amanda Trujillo case; the thing that makes me furious when I stop and think of everything surrounding it, is this belief that a nurse accused is required to, pardon my bluntness, keep their mouth shut.
Now, let me try and work this out…
Anyone can place a complaint with a Board of Nursing.
Anyone.
For any reason, any motive. In this case it was Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center who filed the complaint with the Arizona Board of Nursing.
This complaint is public record. The fact that you have a complaint on file with the Arizona BON, and the date it is filed is public record.
But…ask the Arizona Board of Nursing for a copy, and you are told you cannot disclose what the complaint says. Can’t fax it. Can’t copy it. Can’t quote it.
Keep your mouth shut.”

How to Support #AmandaTrujillo (Arizona Nurse Fired for Patient Advocacy), January 25, 2012 By @TheNerdyNurse #nurseup

 

How to Support #AmandaTrujillo (Arizona Nurse Fired for Patient Advocacy), January 25, 2012 By @TheNerdyNurse #nurseup:”The nurse bloggers have heard Amanda Trujillo’s story and are responding loud and clear. We have taken her cause to our various social media fortes and are telling the world of her unfortunate story. Patient advocates everywhere have to get a sick feeling in their stomach when they read about a patient’s whose rights were denied and the nurse who attempted to make it right was fired.
If Ms. Trujillo’s story upsets you as a nurse, healthcare provider, patient, or human being, we urge you to contact the Arizona Board of Nursing (arizona@azbn.gov or 602-771-7800) and reach out to media to tell them that she needs her story told.
If you have a blog, blog about it. If you’ve blogged about it, add your link to the links on this page.”

How much healthcare access do you think you will have, if nurses are threatened at every turn to keep their mouths shut, when they see unsafe conditions, medical errors, corporate greed overriding safe patient care on the job?

How much healthcare access do you think you will have, if nurses are threatened at every turn to keep their mouths shut, when they see unsafe conditions, medical errors, corporate greed overriding safe patient care on the job?
Amanda Trujillo, RN – Nurse fired for being a patient advocate, @PatIyer:”The story of Amanda Trujillo is a horrifying one. Briefly, she is a single mom who fought to get off welfare and fulfilled her dream of becoming a nurse. Not only did she become a nurse, she earned a masters and is pursuing a doctorate degree in nursing. One night while working at Banner Health in Arizona, she took care of a patient who was being asked to undergo a liver transplant.”

How Do You See The Elderly? Video by Pedagogy author Angil Tarach Ritchey. @pedagogymedical #nursefriendly  #nurseup:”This video is intended to cause us all to think, every time we meet, come in contact with, or care for an elderly person. Think about how you see the elderly before you watch the video and after. If it changes your thoughts, rejuvenates your work and/or advocacy, or touches you in any way, please give it a thumbs up, share it with your family, friends & co-workers, and leave a comment if you feel compelled to do so Let’s spread some empathy and really begin respecting and caring for our elderly in a dignified and compassionate manner”
