iPhone Apps for the Smarter Nursing Student, By, Jennifer Olin, BSN, RN, @Jolin2, #nurseup #nursefriendly

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

Most Doctors, Nurses And Midwives Observe Risky Shortcuts Taken During Delivery (STUDY) #nurseup #healthcare

Most Doctors, Nurses And Midwives Observe Risky Shortcuts Taken During Delivery (STUDY):"Most doctors, midwives and nurses who help deliver babies have observed their colleagues taking shortcuts or engaging in behavior that could compromise patient safety, but few speak up about the issue, a new study says.

Researchers surveyed more than 3,200 doctors, nurses and midwives on labor and delivery teams, and asked if they had observed a colleague taking a shortcut, such as not washing hands or failing to change gloves. The health care providers were also asked if they had ever witnessed a colleague having problems with his or her job performance, being disrespectful to a co-worker, or lacking the skills or knowledge needed to do his or her job."

Interview with Lea Ann Biafora, MS, RN, OCN, CCM, CPHQ of Beacon Oncology Nurse Advocates, SelfEmployedNurse.com

Interview with Lea Ann Biafora, MS, RN, OCN, CCM, CPHQ of Beacon Oncology Nurse Advocates, SelfEmployedNurse.com:"Being a patient advocate is one of the primary roles of a bedside nurse. However, bedside nurses often experience stumbling blocks when advocating for their patients that are associated with the polices, procedures, and politics of hospital/corporate nursing. So, patient advocacy representatives were developed.
However, if a patient desires a personal patient centered healthcare experience then they might elect to consult with their own private patient advocacy service opposed to a corporate employed patient advocate. Enter Lea Ann Biafora, MS, RN, OCN, CCM, CPHQ a nurse entrepreneur who founded Beacon Oncology Nurse Advocates.
Her advice to nurse entrepreneurs is "If you are interested in starting a business (driven by your nursing knowledge) become knowledgeable within your focused area, be confident that you are knowledgeable in this area, be humble but strong and raise your head high."

Getting An Idea Patented, How To Patent, Patents, Inventors, Inventions, Inventor Resources nursefriendly

Getting An Idea Patented, How To Patent, Patents, Inventors, Inventions, Inventor Resources nursefriendly:"A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state to an inventor or his assignee for a fixed period of time in exchange for a disclosure of an invention. The procedure for granting patents, the requirements placed on the patentee and the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between countries according to national laws and international agreements. Typically, however, a patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention which must be new, inventive, and useful or industrially applicable. In many countries, certain subject areas are excluded from patents, such as business methods and mental acts. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the right to prevent or exclude others from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing the invention."

The Gulf Between Doctors and Nurse Practitioners By Pauline Chen, MD

The Gulf Between Doctors and Nurse Practitioners
By Pauline Chen, MD:"Not long ago, I attended a meeting on the future of primary care. Most of the physicians in the room knew one another, so the discussion, while serious, remained relaxed.

Toward the end of the hour, one of the physicians who had been mostly silent cleared his throat and raised his hand to speak. The other physicians smiled in acknowledgment as their colleague stood up.

“Nurse practitioners,” he said. “Maybe we need more nurse practitioners in primary care.”

Smiles faded, faces froze and the room fell silent. An outraged doctor, the color in his face rising, stood to bellow at his impertinent colleague. Others joined the fray and side arguments erupted in the back of the room. A couple of people raised their hands to try to bring the meeting back to order, but it was too late.

The physician had mentioned the unmentionable."

Report Finds Most Errors at Hospitals Go Unreported, ‪#‎NewYorkTimes

Report Finds Most Errors at Hospitals Go Unreported,‪#‎NewYorkTimes‬:"Hospital employees recognize and report only one out of seven errors, accidents and other events that harm Medicare patients while they are hospitalized, federal investigators say in a new report.

Yet even after hospitals investigate preventable injuries and infections that have been reported, they rarely change their practices to prevent repetition of the “adverse events,” according to the study, from Daniel R. Levinson, inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services.

In the report, being issued on Friday, Mr. Levinson notes that as a condition of being paid under Medicare, hospitals are to “track medical errors and adverse patient events, analyze their causes” and improve care."
