Organized Wisdom, (Geriatric Nurses) Why Are My Site Name, Meta Tags Plagiarized On Your Pages? site:organizedwisdom.com nursefriendly.posterous.com - Google Cache


If your site has been submitted to Organized Wisdom, take note:

This is one of the tactics that we strongly object to. Organized Wisdom is using my site name, and meta tags to compete with our site in the search engines.

They are infringing on my business name and stealing traffic from our site. And from you if your site has been submitted to Organized Wisdom.

You'd want someone searching for you by name, see your site in the results, would you not?

If Organized Wisdom has their way, their site will show up, with your likeness and a drug ad. How do you feel about your site being used to hawk Brand Name prescriptions?

Men's Health: 10 Rules of Kids' Fitness - ABC News

Parenting has never been easy. Since the beginning of time, men have tried to keep their children safe and healthy. But instead of protecting kids from, say, starvation and predators, like our cavemen ancestors, these days we're up against a modern batch of challenges: obesity and sedentary behavior—two equally formidable enemies. And since these are fairly new problems, your parents and grandparents might not have all the answers. Well, we don't either. But if you follow these 10 rules to keeping your kid active, you'll have a great head start.

Rule #1: Don't Rely on Organized Sports

Just because your kid is in T-ball doesn't mean that he's active enough. A new study in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine found that less than 25 percent of student athletes receive the recommended 60 minutes of daily exercise. Plus, the researchers found that the kids spent about 30 minutes of their practice sessions being completely inactive.

Click on the "VIA" link to read the full article.

This is so very true. See the habits forming, watching TV for hours at a stretch, the sedentary lifestyle, the lack of stamina when outside playing.

This is something parents need to pay attention to.

Excuse This House, Inspirational Poems, Touching Stories

To Receive our inspirational stories as we post them subscribe to our mailing list by sending a blank e-mail to inspirationalstories-subscribe@topica.com


Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there,
Ours boasts it quiet openly,
The signs are Everywhere.

For smears on the windows,
Little smudges on the doors,
I should apologize I guess,
For toys strewn on the floor.

But I sat down with the children,
And we played and laughed and read,
And if the doorbell doesn't shine,
Their eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I am forced to choose,
The one job or the other,
I'd like to cook, and clean, and scrub,
But first I'll be a MOTHER.

Author Unknown.

About Schizophrenia.com:"Started in 1995, Schizophrenia.com is a leading web community dedicated to providing high quality information, support and education to the family members, caregivers and individuals who's lives have been impacted by schizophrenia. The site is managed by a group of about 10 independent volunteers around the world - all of whom are either family members (with sons & daughters, brothers and sisters, or parents who have suffered from schizophrenia) or people who have schizophrenia. While none of us are mental health professionals, we are very familiar with the disease both through direct personal experience and extensive reading on the topic. We rely upon what we believe are good sources of scientifically accurate materials relating to schizophrenia and frequently consult with an ever growing group of schizophrenia researchers who act as unofficial advisors to the site - these schizophrenia researchers who help on an unofficial basis by answering our questions and occasionally providing feedback on different areas of the site."

Schizophrenia in Children, American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP):"Schizophrenia is a medical illness that causes strange thinking, strange feelings, and unusual behavior. It is an uncommon psychiatric illness in children and is hard to recognize in its early phases. The behavior of children and adolescents with schizophrenia may differ from that of adults with this illness. Child and adolescent psychiatrists look for several of the following early warning signs in youngsters with schizophrenia: seeing things and hearing voices which are not real (hallucinations), odd and eccentric behavior, and/or speech, unusual or bizarre thoughts and ideas, confusing television and dreams from reality."

It is a disorder that makes it difficult for a person to tell the difference between real and imagined experiences, to think logically, to express normal emotional responses or to behave appropriately in social situations. Schizophrenia can be draining on both the person with schizophrenia and their families. People with schizophrenia often have difficulty functioning in society, at work and in school.

Schizophrenia, Mental Wellness.com, Janssen Pharmaceutica Products:"Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness described by the American Psychiatric Association as "one of the most debilitating and baffling mental illnesses known." The mental disorder is characterized by a dysfunction of the thinking process, such as hallucinations and delusions, and withdrawal from the outside world. Years of research have shown that schizophrenia is a biologically based brain disease. The most recent advances in brain imaging have confirmed imbalances of two brain chemicals – dopamine and serotonin – in those who suffer from schizophrenia. Dopamine is responsible for emotions and motivation; serotonin acts as a messenger and stimulates muscle movement, switching nerves on and off. The brains of people with schizophrenia have elevated dopamine and serotonin activity."

October 15, 2000: Physician Restraint Orders Unclear On Transfer, Do You Apply In The Interim?
Summary: The use of Mechanical or Physical Restraints on confused patients is highly controversial. Due to substantial Death & Injury attributed to their use they are considered a last resort measure in providing for the safety of a patient. In this case, orders specifying what restraints and when they were to be used were unclear. In a patient that was clearly at high risk for injury, should they have been applied till the physician could have been contacted?
Tousignant v. St. Louis County, 602 N.W.2d 882 - MN (1999)
http://www.nursefriendly.com/nursing/clinical.cases/2000/101500.htm

******************************************************

September 19, 1999: Abusive Psychiatric Patient Restrained, Placed In Seclusion For Angering Nursing & Medical Staff?
Summary: In dealing with violent, abusive or angry psychiatric patients, the safety of the patient and staff are the priority concerns. When restraints or seclusion are deemed necessary, justification for the measures must be documented concisely. In this case, an unruly patient angered the nurse caring for him. When leather restraints were applied and maintained for a prolonged period of time, the patient would object and later sue for damages.
Alt v. John Umstead hospital 479 S.E. 2d 800

August 15, 1999: Violent Psychiatric Patient Attacks Nurse,
No Legal Recourse Against Facility or Psychiatrist?
Charleston v. Larson, 696 N.E. 2d 793 – IL 1998
Summary: It would seem absurd, that if a physician admits and facility assigns a nurse to care for a known violent patient, that it has no legal obligation to protect that nurse against violence. In this case, a psychiatric patient sought admission to facility. On admission, he threatened to attack a nurse. When the patient would follow through on his threat, the nurse was denied legal recourse against the psychiatrist who could have taken precautions against the attack.

Most Baby Boomers are Unprepared to Care For Aging Parents | The Intentional Caregiver

Yesterday, I was fortunate to be able to interview Mr. Jeff Huber, President of Home Instead Senior Care, the largest provider of in-home care services for seniors in the world and was the first company to offer franchise opportunities.

Most professionals involved with eldercare are aware that adult children are not prepared to care for their parents when they receive “that call” that throws them into the caregiving role.  But the Home Instead Senior Care network  wanted to learn more about that and so in conjunction with The Boomer Project, a study of 600 baby boomer aged adults was conducted. 

The results surprised me:

  • Less than 50% were knowledgeable about their parents’ medical history
  •  49% were unable to name any of their parents’ current medications
  • More than 30% did not know just how many medications their parent(s) was taking

Thank you Shelley for bringing attention to this critical topic. It is a phone call we will each be getting eventually. It is much better to be prepared.

Teens skimp on exercise, but not sodas: CDC | Reuters

Only about one in 10 U.S. teens is getting enough exercise and one in four has a soda a day, adding to concerns about obesity among American youth, government researchers said on Thursday.

A team at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention looked to see how many students were meeting targets for youth physical activity.

They found about one out of 10 U.S. high school students met U.S. targets for both aerobic and muscle strengthening activities set for the federal government's Healthy People initiative, a list of public health goals.

The National Patients' Report Card Gives Nurses an A+

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwire - June 16, 2011) - A new national poll shows that Canadian patients overwhelmingly approve of treatment they receive from the nation's nurses, despite the clearly visible nursing shortage in hospitals.

The poll, conducted by Vector Poll in early June for the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) for its 30th Anniversary Biennial Convention being held in Winnipeg, showed that nurses get a great report card from their patients.

Sheriff to serve 100 days, lose license for retaliating against nurses - Mywesttexas.com: Top Stories

Winkler County Sheriff Roberts L. Roberts will serve 100 days in jail and lose his Texas Peace Officers License for retaliating against two whistleblower nurses, a judge order Tuesday.

Visiting Judge Robert Moore handed out the punishment in a Midland County court Tuesday afternoon after the sheriff was found guilty of six charges in the case: two third-degree felony counts of retaliation, two third-degree felony counts of misuse of official information, and two class A misdemeanor counts of official suppression.

Roberts faced up to 10 years in prison on the charges. Moore however sentenced the sheriff to four years in prison, which  were suspended for four years of probation; 100 days in Winkler County jail, which the sheriff will serve; a $1,000 fine for each charge ($6,000 total); a removal from office as sheriff; a waive of his right to an appeal; and a permanent surrender of his Texas Peace Officers License.
