******************************************************Nurses Impact Care with Product Innovations:"As a neonatal nurse in San Bernardino, California, for more than 25 years, Sharon Rogone, RNC, recalls the days when she had to trim medical supplies and reconfigure equipment to create preemie-sized products for her tiny patients. One of the biggest problems in her day-to-day job was trying to protect the babies' delicate eyes from the harsh rays of the ultraviolet lights used to treat jaundice. None of the standard eye coverings stayed in place for long and, as a result, had to constantly be adjusted. After carefully assessing the situation, Rogone decided to take matters into her own hands."

Online Nursing Programs. RN to BSN, RN to MSN, RN to NursePractitioner? Nurseup NNBA2013:"Hey everyone, I'm looking into a masters program for my NursePractitioner, have you checked out any or are you taking online courses now? Would appreciate your feedback. The ones I'm looking at are talking about $326 per credit (12 total) for a BSN and $456 per credit for an MSN/NP degree (42 credits for a Family Nurse Practitioner.)

We talking big bucks, but to do it all online at my convenience, think it will be well worth it. Am especially excited about the AffordableCareAct expanding the roles/responsibilities of NPs, PAs, etc."

#Nursing #Success Stories, Patricia Bemis, RN @patbemis, #NNBA2013#Nurseup:"Love my work, hate my job. My journey as a nurse entrepreneur started in 1999. I was the typical aging nurse with the “love my work, hate my job” syndrome—loving my nursing work and hating my hospital job. I was suffering from burnout and making plans to leave the bedside. Today, I am a nurse entrepreneur and I love my work and my job. While my story is not unique, I feel it’s important to share my story."

How your company is watching your waistline. #employers #obesity #jobhunting #healthinsurance #nurseup

How your company is watching your waistline:"Employers tried the carrot, then a small stick. Now they are turning to bigger cudgels.

For years they encouraged workers to improve their health and productivity with free screenings, discounted gym memberships and gift cards to lose weight. More recently, a small number charged smokers slightly higher premiums to get them to quit.

Results for these plans were lackluster, and healthcare costs continued to soar. So companies are taking advantage of new rules under President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul in 2014 to punish smokers and overweight workers."

Nurse Sued For "Too Many Sticks" How Many Attempts Is Too Many? #Nurseup #Nursefriendly #Nursing

Nurse Sued For "Too Many Sticks" How Many Attempts Is Too Many?:"Summary: Starting Intravenous Lines and Performing Venipunctures are basic nursing skills in the Acute Care or Hospital settings. In this case, a female patient would accuse a male nurse of negligence and causing a resulting injury when he needed three attempts to successfully start an intravenous catheter.

The female patient came to the hospital with vague complaints of abdominal pain and was evaluated in the Emergency Department. The physician’s orders for treatment included intravenous medications for which a line would need to be started.

“Up to 90% of patients who require health care services need some form of I.V. therapy. Unfortunately, many hospitals have done away with I.V. teams, so you may be responsible for inserting and maintaining I.V. lines even if you're inexperienced or have limited opportunities to keep your skills sharp."
