Sunrise Nurses: Union sues after Sunrise (Children's Hospital, Nevada) refuses to rehire nurse - News - ReviewJournal #nurseup:"Sunrise Children’s Hospital has refused to rehire a nurse fired in connection with a 2010 baby death despite an arbitrator’s ruling that she should be reinstated with back pay, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday by the nurse’s union.
Filed in U.S. District Court by Service Employees International Union Local 1107, the lawsuit charges that “on or about January 13, 2012 Sunrise announced that it would refuse to comply” with the decision of arbitrator Paul Staudohar, who found that Sunrise lacked just cause to terminate Jessica Rice."

Surgical Patients Not Getting Information on Alternatives, Wall Street Journal #nurseup #nursefriendly

Surgical Patients Not Getting Information on Alternatives, Wall Street Journal #nurseup #nursefriendly:"It’s awfully hard for patients to participate in decisions about their medical care if they don’t know all their options. But that’s exactly what seems to be happening, at least with many Medicare patients who received a stent procedure for coronary disease or prostate surgery for cancer, according to a new study. The research, published online by the Journal of General Internal Medicine, surveyed 685 patients who had prostate-cancer surgery and 472 who had stents for coronary disease about their decision-making process."

Surgeon "Loses Clamp" Behind Patient's Heart During Bypass. Nurse's Responsibility To Pick Up? #nurseup #nursefriendly

Surgeon "Loses Clamp" Behind Patient's Heart During Bypass. Nurse's Responsibility To Pick Up? #nurseup #nursefriendly:"Summary: During any surgical operation, there is an inherent "duty" owed to the patient that the operation will be carried out competently. This includes carrying out specified procedures and taking measures to prevent "foreign" objects from being left in the body cavity. In this case, during a coronary artery bypass grafting, a clamp slipped from the surgeon's sight. It would be found on x-ray later sitting behind the patient's heart."

Support your fellow nurse, Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP, #nurseup #amandatrujillo

Support your fellow nurse, Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP, #nurseup #amandatrujillo:"We see, read, and hear so much about horizontal violence and nurses not being supportive of each other, and also about other healthcare professionals being unsupportive of nurses. Another such case is occurring, but what is striking to me, is that while this one nurse is going through this tough time, nurses on the web are rallying together to support her and encouraging others to do the same.
The case is of Amanda Trujillo, a registered nurse in Arizona. According to a letter she wrote and the posts of many nurse bloggers, Amanda has been fired from her job, her nursing license is in question, and she is undergoing psychiatric evaluation after educating a patient about his illness and options. The patient decided to forgo surgical intervention and explore hospice care. The details of her case can be read on a number of nursing blogs, including vdutton’s posterous (with the transcript of details recorded by her attorney), Those Emergency Blues, and Emergiblog. The Nerdy Nurse also has several posts and an extensive list of resources about the case and ways to show support."<br>

Stress In = Stress Out!, Michael Pergrem, @coachperg, #nurseup #nursefriendly #nursing

Stress In = Stress Out!, Michael Pergrem, @coachperg, #nurseup #nursefriendly #nursing:"How one handles stress varies widely from individual to individual. What I would consider horrendously stressful another might see as a walk in the park.
It’s all relative to the individual.
An associate of mine who has a wife with late stage MS and cared for her at home until recently (when she progressed to requiring 24/7 skilled nursing care), said that years ago when he would hear someone complain about something that seemed trivial compared to his situation, he would think to himself how he’d trade places with them in a heartbeat. He then came to learn that their struggles were just as difficult for them, as his were to him."

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."

#SouthDakota State Nurses, Could This Happen To You? #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare:"If you have been the victim of a situation like Amanda’s we’d like to hear your story. It is a story that is being repeated with the “Kennedy Nurses” in New York, with the “Sunrise Nurses” in Nevada, previously with the “Winkler Nurses” in Texas.
In each of these cases, it is interesting to note where the nurses turned for support. These situations happen every day. We would like Nurseup.com to become a clearinghouse for nurses in these types of situations. We want to compile lists of organizations that can help nurses in these types of situations."

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

Sleep Apnea Monitor Turned off or Ignored By Nursing Staff, Patient's Coding Goes Unnoticed #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare:"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.
