3 Biggest Causes of Nurse Turnover, Written by Heather Punke | July 12, 2013:"Nurses play a vital role in patient care at any hospital, especially in today's healthcare environment. "Hospitals are under the gun for patient satisfaction, and nurses often have the most interaction with patients during their hospital stay, greatly affecting satisfaction," says Karlene Kerfoot, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, vice president of nursing for API Healthcare, a healthcare workforce technology company that delivers data driven staffing and talent solutions as well as business analytics. Additionally, having long-term, experienced nurses helps hospitals provide higher quality care."

Fake hospital nurse targeted patients’ pain meds, The Seattle Times - #drugabuse #diversion #nurseup:"A woman impersonating a nurse is still at large after trying to steal pain medication from patients’ rooms at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle this month.
The Seattle Police Department said the woman entered patients’ rooms at the hospital in the 700 block of Broadway as if she were a member of the staff checking patient-administered, pain-medication machines."

Kicking McDonald's out: the hospitals getting serious about food, Huffington Post. #nurseup #diet #healthcare #nursefriendly
Kicking McDonald's out: the hospitals getting serious about food, Huffington Post:"All across the country, hospitals like this one in San Francisco are rethinking what's on its menu and in the cafeterias. Prompted by skyrocketing rates of diet-related illnesses and with ever greater understanding of the role of good nutrition, public health professionals are starting to get serious about food.
In the past few months, hospitals are even stepping up to tell junk food purveyors to leave the premises. In January 2013, Truman Medical Centers in Kansas City, Missouri announced it was ending its lease with a McDonald's in its facility. The hospital CEO said that having a McDonald's right next to its revamped, healthier cafeteria, sends an "inconsistent message."

Corruption of the medical literature is impossible to prevent by Bradley Evans, MD #nurseup #healthcare #nursefriendly
Corruption of the medical literature is impossible to prevent by Bradley Evans, MD #nurseup #healthcare #nursefriendly:"This article argues that there can be no certainty that information is unbiased, fair and accurate, because the individual physician will not be able to detect two common deceptions.
The first is to omit key facts deliberately. The doctor won’t know what was left out. You can’t know what you aren’t told. One example of that is Bombardier et al.’s rofecoxib (Vioxx) study published in the NEJM. Merck and its ghostwriters left out the fact that some patients had had heart attacks. When the editors looked at the CD containing the article, they found it was in Microsoft Word, which contains prior versions, as well as the finished article. Prior versions showed that the sentence mentioning the heart attacks had been deleted. Now, pharmaceutical companies and their ghostwriters are smart enough to send articles without including prior versions, so that discovery of this deception, which was embarrassing and costly for Merck, will not occur again.While the first deception assumes the person transmitting information is corrupt, the second assumes that the data are corrupt. The person transmitting the information may be above reproach. How can this happen? It can occur several ways: (1) Negative studies can be discarded, with only the positive ones published; (2) Studies can be done with comparison to placebo, not to best known treatment; (3) Studies can be ghostwritten by companies paid by the study sponsor; (4) Editors can be biased by ad revenue from drug companies, the main revenue source for most journals; and (5) An editor may be a paid investigator for drug company. This is probably not an exhaustive list."http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2012/05/corruption-medical-literature-impossible-prevent.html

10 Medical Errors That Can Kill You in the Hospital, by Leana Wen, M.D #nurseup #epatient #healthcare #nursing #patientsafety
10 Medical Errors That Can Kill You in the Hospital, by Leana Wen, M.D. in The Doctor Is Listening:"In my last post, you met Paul Hastings, the recently-retired accountant about to embark on an around-the-world trip who ended up with one-way ticket to the hospital instead. More people die from medical mistakes than they do from car accidents, pneumonia, and diabetes. No doubt, this is a shocking statistic. Before we discuss what you can do about it, let's first talk about the 10 most common errors that can occur during your hospital stay: #1. Misdiagnosis. The most common type of medical error is error in diagnosis. This is not surprising, since the right diagnosis is the key to your entire medical error. A wrong diagnosis can result in delay in treatment, sometimes with deadly consequences. Not receiving a diagnosis can be dangerous too; this is why it's so important to aim to figure out what you have, not just a list of things that you don't have."

Censorship: Don’t Talk About #AmandaTrujillo, @MotherJonesRN #nurseup
Censorship: Don’t Talk About #AmandaTrujillo, @MotherJonesRN #nurseup:"My blog buddy, Vernon Dutton from NursingPins went onto the Iowa Nurses Association’s Facebook page and posted a supportive comment about Amanda Trujillo. Then he got a big surprise. According to LouisianaNurse, Vernon was asked to call the INA. The person that spoke to Vernon said that ANA told the INA to take his comment down. Vernon later posted the following comment on the INA Facebook page: “The Iowa Nurses Association selectively removes posts they do not like!” As a native of Iowa, I’m very disappointed that the INA knuckled under to the demands of the ANA. This type of censorship is unacceptable. On the other hand, the INA didn’t have to give Vernon an explanation for their actions. Maybe they wanted Vernon to know about the ANA’s censorship campaign."
