George Mason University / College of Nursing (BSN, MSN, PhD):"Our nursing programs are filling a much needed gap in the nursing workforce. 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. Our commitment to high quality in these programs is underscored by the fact that our graduate nursing programs have consistently been ranked in the top 50 nationally by U.S. News and World Report."

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."

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.

Organized Wisdom (#schizophrenia) What's with hawking drugs to families dealing with #mentalillness ?

As a Registered Nurse, and Expert Curator, I'd strongly object to Drug Advertising being placed next to helpful resources I submit to assist patients and families members deal with a Schizophrenia diagnosis.

Does it not bother you fellow "curators" that Organized Wisdom is using your time and effort, to sell pharmaceutical drugs to consumers?

Does it not bother you that by placing the ad next to your name, likeness you are making an "implied" endorsement?

Tell Organized Wisdom to Quit Displaying Drug Ads next to my submitted content!

Tell Organized Wisdom you are not A Shill for pharmaceutical companies.
