Donna Cardillo, MA, RN, @DonnaCardilloRN #OrganizedWisdom Profile, Did You Know? #hcsm #nursing #nurses #health

Donna Cardillo Nominated Expert
Profile not yet claimed
my.organizedwisdom.com/DonnaCardilloRN

RN aka Career Guru for Nurses, Dear Donna columnist at Nursing Spectrum... Learn More


This is an open letter to Organized Wisdom, and specifically to Donna Cardillo, MA, RN, @DonnaCardilloRN and other nurses who have been "profiled" without their knowledge.

We have made a very simple request of Unity Stoakes, President of Organized Wisdom - Notify All Your Curators, that they are being profiled, and their Twitter streams harvested for Profit.

Despite our requests, they continue to stall, stonewall, make excuses - so, we've decided to do the Nursing notifications ourselves.

Did you know Organized Wisdom is looking to profit from your name, reputation and would like to keep you in the dark as long as possible?

Like you, I was profiled on Organized Wisdom and my tweets being "harvested" and added to their index.

When displayed in their index, my name, my photo and drug advertising were displayed prominently. Same with yours.

So, a few questions.

1. Did you know you were profiled on Organized Wisdom? Most nurses (and doctors) contacted do not. Almost every profile I've come across is "Not Yet Claimed"

2. Do you consent to your name/likeness being used to promote their site? Are you OK with them selling you as an "expert"

3. Do you consent to your tweet streams, being harvested, unfiltered and added to an organization that chiefly sells drug advertising? It implies your endorsement.

4. Did you know, once submitted, your favorite sites are copied, plagiarized and their copyrights infringed upon.

5. Did you know, that as a "curator" you receive no compensation, even though Organized Wisdom makes money hand over fist from drug advertising. Can you say exploitation?

6. Did you know, that Organized Wisdom is now competing with you in the search engines, using your name, likeness?

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

This is not a new issue, nor are the abusive, exploitative and plagiaristic practices employed by Organized Wisdom.

More Organized Wisdom Un-Fair Play, Dr. R.L.Bates:"Fellow bloggers do you remember Wellsphere? Well, the latest “thief” of our information using our reputations and twitter feeds in a similar way is Organized Wisdom. Check out @laikas recent blog post on the topic: Expert Curators, WisdomCards & The True Wisdom of @organizedwisdom

A discussion of the business practices we object to can be found here:

OrganizedWisdom's Twitter Hashtag #organizedwisdom

HONcode violations can be reported here if you feel you're being exploited: http://bit.ly/k8G096

More on copyright issues explained by Dr. Simon Sikorski

Healthcare Marketing Center of Excellence, Copyright Violations:"There was much debate over what is construed as Fair Use. Some are fine with OrganizedWisdom plagiarizing their websites word for word and making money off of their work. Major concerns raised during #EndToFarms chat: 1) OrganizedWisdom not only plagiarizes but claims ownership of your work. They include -"OrganizedWisdom" next to every piece of information that has been copied from your copyrighted material 2) Just because OrganizedWisdom links to your work does not in any manner constitute "Fair Use" 3) In many cases, the doctors' own names were displayed infringing on major privacy concerns 5) The link itself is not the plagiarism we refer to. We couldn't care less about the link. What is important:"

I'll be happy to answer any questions as well.

Avoiding Caregiver Burnout, By Donna Cardillo, RN, MA, The Dr. Oz Show

According the National Alliance on Caregiving, over 65 million Americans care for sick, disabled and elderly family members and friends, saving the healthcare system $375 billion dollars annually. But the caregiver or care partner is often overlooked in the process as the focus is on the person who requires the care.

 

Caregivers often neglect their own self-care and suffer in silence. They have a high rate of stress-related illnesses and disorders, addictions and even worse. Additionally, the stress, if not tended to, can even lead to abuse of the loved one they care for.

 

What Is a Caregiver/Care Partner?

 

I didn’t view myself as a caregiver when my husband was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis because he didn’t need help with dressing or eating. Yet I began to take on responsibility for doctor’s visits, therapy appointments and pharmacy trips, as well as provide emotional support for him and family members.

 

I would protest: “I am not a caregiver.” But then I read descriptions of my situation on the National Family Caregivers Association website  www.nfcacares.org and finally had to admit that I was stressed, overwhelmed, approaching burnout, and in need of help and support.

Lights, Camera, Action! by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA, Cardillo & Associates

Lights, Camera, Action!
by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA

I always get excited when I see or hear a nurse on television or radio. It’s probably because we’re hardly ever there! But it’s also because TV and radio appearances offer nurses the opportunity to show the world how bright, articulate, and knowledgeable we are. And while it’s a scary prospect to be on TV or radio — especially the first time —learning the basics and getting a little experience goes a long way to becoming comfortable in front of the camera or microphone. Here are some tips and advice.

Do your homework: Watch or listen to the program ahead of time to become familiar with the format and the host’s style. It’s also helpful to watch and listen to other guests to see how they answer questions. Talk to the host, producer, or studio assistant beforehand when possible. Ask if the program will be taped or broadcast live and how much time you’ll be on camera. Find out what questions you’ll be asked and who else will be a guest on the show or part of the panel, if applicable. While some talk shows have a discussion format, most news shows have a more structured, prearranged format.

Gearing Up for Management by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA, Cardillo & Associates

Gearing Up for Management
by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA

Are you a staff nurse who aspires to someday move into a supervisory role? Would you like to eventually work in nursing or health care administration? Are you considering a leadership role in a professional association or community group? Here are some steps to get you moving in the right direction.

Have a heart-to-heart talk with your supervisor. Let your supervisor know about your aspirations, and ask for assignments that would help prepare you for that role. Ask your supervisor how he or she got started and what was learned along the way. You can have this discussion during an annual evaluation — or, better yet, make a special appointment to sit down and discuss your career goals.

Work on your formal education. A bachelor’s degree is a minimum requirement for most management positions. Having a master’s degree will give you a competitive edge. It’s not just the credential that’s helpful here; it’s the knowledge and skill you’ll acquire pursuing that degree. Nurse managers hold a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees these days, including those in nursing, business, health care management, and public health. There’s no one “right” degree to have.
