Undergraduate program options include traditional BSN educational opportunities, an accelerated program of study for second degree students, and our popular RN to BSN program. Because nursing educators and advanced practice nurses are also part of the current and future nursing shortage, admissions to our nursing Master's degree and PhD programs are bustling.

Gender and age bias in triage decisions., Arslanian-Engoren C., Pubmed:"Recently it has been recognized that women are less likely than men to be diagnosed with a myocardial infarction (MI) or to receive early or aggressive treatment and are more likely than men to die of an MI. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the triage decisions made by ED nurses for persons with symptoms suggestive of MI. The theoretical framework for this investigation was Hammond's lens model for clinical inference and Evan's two-stage reasoning model. METHOD: Four focus group sessions were conducted."

Gender And Racial Discrimination In Pay And Promotion For Nhs Nurses, IDEAS at UConn Economics:"For many years the NHS has been subject to allegations that gender and racial discrimination are a feature of the internal labour market for qualified nurses. This paper examines this issue with regard to the promotion process using 1994 survey data. We start by rejecting the assumption of covariate exogeneity inherent in the ordered probit model. A full simultaneous model is then developed which has important consequences for estimates of the influence of gender, ethnicity, training and career interruptions. We find evidence of significant differences in speed of promotion between gender and ethnic groups, which imply large differences in career earnings."

Gender Bias, Education, 212.net:"Our children are receiving messages from the educational system that only serve to reinforce stereotypical gender roles for males and females. The fact is that males receive more attention from teachers in the classroom than girls do. Boys are called on in class more than girls, and class discussion is often dominated by the same three or four students, usually boys. Gender bias is especially evident in science and math classes, beginning mainly at the middle school level. In many cases, the teachers are not even aware of these biases in the classroom."

Gender bias in nursing care? Gender-related differences in patient satisfaction with the quality of nursing care, Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences:"Gender-related differences in experience with nursing care, was studied using data from a Norwegian survey of patient-satisfaction. The survey included 1469 male and 1226 female patients. Results showed that young female patients were less content with all aspects of nursing care when compared with young male patients."

Creating and sharing great content builds authority for your brand, KevinMD.com

by Richard Meyer

Content drives conversations. Conversation engages your customers.

Engaging with people is how your company will survive and thrive in this newly social world. In other words, online content is a powerful envoy for your business, with an ability to stir up interest, further engagement, and invite connections.  Why hasn’t the healthcare industry focused more on better content that drives engagement and creates trust?

Creating and sharing relevant, valuable information that attracts people to you and creates trust, credibility, and authority for your brand and that ultimately converts visitors and browsers into patients. The one who has the more engaging content wins, because frequent and regular contact builds a relationship.  Yet 99% of most content on drug websites is boring, hard to read and overly promotional.  What we have here is a classic example of failure to communicate.

What Percentage of Health Care Providers Recommend #Health Websites to #Patients? - Data Points - iHealthBeat

Eighty-three percent of online registered nurses and advanced practice registered nurses report recommending health-related websites to patients in 2010, compared with 59% of online physicians, according to a new Manhattan Research report.

The study also found that nearly 90% of online RNs and APRNs visited a pharmaceutical, biotechnology or device website in the past 12 months.

Although most online RNs and APRNs use social networking sites for personal reasons, a relatively small percentage uses professional online communities.  

Results are based on a Q2 2010 online survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,053 U.S. practicing nurses and physicians.
