Make Way for the Millenials on ADVANCE for Nurses

Millions are already in the classroom and workforce, and their reinforcements are marching through the doors in vast numbers. They are the millennials, the latest generation to give the country a facelift as they try to blend in with the traditionalists, baby boomers and Generation Xers to do their part in moving society forward.

The millennials were born between 1982 and 2001.1, 2  The children of baby boomers, their generation was named for coming of age at the turn of the millennium.

Millennials are a symptom of drastic change, according to Paige Shaughnessy, PhD, CCC-SLP, graduate program director in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, School of Allied Health Professions, at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, CA. "The changes in America socially, economically and politically were so drastic around 2000 and 2001 that in many ways it shaped a generation that is very different from the rest of us. We truly have to struggle to understand them."

The older generations can learn to work with the incoming workforce of millennials by making every attempt to understand their characteristics, values and expectations without sacrificing their own integrity.

Millennials have a wealth of defining traits. Thanks to their total immersion in technology from the time they were born, their cognitive characteristics and learning styles are unlike any seen before. They really are wired differently because they grew up using different parts of their brains, Shaughnessy told ADVANCE.

Nursing students suspended for posting placenta picture on Facebook – - Macleans OnCampus

A group of nursing students at Johnson County Community College were kicked out of school for posing with a human placenta and posting the photos on Facebook. (It seems the esteemed “in-mirror club shot” for Facebook has effectively been replaced.) According to court documents, the students were visiting a medical centre with their class in November when they asked their teacher if they could take photos with a placenta. The teacher “implied consent” and the girls snapped away, posting the pictures on a least one Facebook page. A few hours later, an instructor requested that the photos be taken down, and the students were informed that they were being “dismissed.” They responded by filing suit against the school.

This story has gone viral south of the border, inciting heated debate about the freedom to post the miscellaneous online and the appropriateness of school sanctions for non-academic conduct. The issue is not foreign to us here in Canada, as the University of Calgary is currently battling a case concerning its punishment of two students for content they posted on Facebook. The rhetoric is usually the same; either “give me freedom and stay off my page” or “privacy is dead, so act responsibly.”

Judge orders reinstatement for student who posted placenta photo to Facebook - KansasCity.com

A federal judge today ordered Johnson County Community College to reinstate a nursing student who had been dismissed for posting a picture of a human placenta on Facebook.

U.S. District Judge Eric F. Melgren ruled against the college on every legal point it raised.

Doyle Byrnes, 22, will be allowed to take the final exam she missed in the fall and to enroll in the new semester that begins Jan. 19.

Byrnes was one of four students who were dismissed from the nursing program after they had themselves photographed with the placenta on Nov. 10. The college said they could reapply to the program in August.

20 Iconic Nurses Every Nursing Student Should Study | Nursing Schools.net

During your time in nursing school, you're bound to hear the names of countless famous and influential nurses thrown around. But if you're looking for inspiration in your own career or just want to further your education, there are some amazing women and men in the profession you should study. Here are twenty nurses who worked hard, often against the grain of the larger medical community, to change the face of health care in the United States and around the world.

  1. Florence Nightingale: Even if you weren't in nursing school, you more than likely would have heard of this woman, perhaps the most famous nurse in history. Believing that God has called her to be a nurse, Nightingale went against expectations for aristocratic women at the time, pursuing a career rather than marrying and settling down. She is best known in stories for her nursing in the Crimean War, but should also be credited with laying the foundation for modern nursing with the establishment of the St. Thomas Hospital in London, the first secular school of its kind to train and educate nursing students.
  2. Dorthea Dix: Born in 1802, Dix was one of the loudest voices in America when it came to lobbying Congress to improve the treatment and care for the mentally ill in the United States. Inspired by reforms she saw going on in England, Dix moved to establish new facilities and legislation that helped improve the social welfare of the insane both here and abroad. When the Civil War broke out, Dix was appointed Superintendent of Union Army Nurses, providing care to the wounded on both sides of the conflict.
  3. Helen Fairchild: If you want to learn more about the realities of combat nursing during World War I, read through Helen Fairchild's collection of wartime letters to her family. You'll get vivid stories about the horrors and challenges that nurses faced when trying to care for patients who were the victims of sometimes horrific war injuries. After surviving heavy shelling and mustard gas on the battlefield in France, Fairchild would die from complications during an ulcer surgery after only five years as a nurse.

Nurses: Believe What They Tell You in Nursing School, A Nurse Does Make a Difference | BonnieRN Blog

My world, in geriatric care management, primarily consists of interacting with many health care technicians, non-degree workers, and varied professionals. So, saying this another way, most of my contacts are not nurses. I can tell you, more than weekly, I must explain to those in the field of social and care-giving support, how beneficial it is to have a nurse on the team or committee for decision making. I still get surprised that family is often unaware that a trained and registered nurse is not a part of the team when very serious medical choices are being reviewed for their loved one.  A nurse on the health care team is a natural advocate for the patient.

It is true, and is what I was taught, that the nurse is the last line of deffense (often) for a patient in a facility (or elsewhere). Nurses, know when to contact physicians when there is a concern, check physician orders after they are written, call for questions, order the medication (if needed) from the pharmacy, and verify that it has been delivered and administer the medication (or intervention) to the patient. In home support, nurses assess, support the patient in physician monitoring, and implement change (usually via contacting the physician) when it is needed.

So, the next time a health care team approaches you or asks for a meeting, be sure to include the RN on the team. That RN is a built in advocate for the patient, the family, and will monitor the success of the intervention.

Your questions and comments are appreciated and encouraged.

Nursing, Not For Everyone, Not For Most People, by Andrew Lopez, RN, Nurses Views of The Nursing Profession

Nursing, Not For Everyone, Not For Most People, Nurses Views of The Nursing Profession - by Andrew Lopez, RN:"Nursing is no longer an attractive profession for young women (historically the largest segment of the population entering Nursing) to go into. It is having difficulty competing with corporate and other service industries that offer better working conditions, higher pay, no weekends/holidays, more prestige and much less stress. It's a given that as a nurse, you're on a daily basis exposed to hostile families and patients, deadly diseases, abuse from doctors, families and other nurses."

What is a Nurse Practitioner?:"A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse with advanced academic and clinical experience, which enables him or her to diagnose and manage most common and many chronic illnesses, either independently or as part of a health care team. A nurse practitioner provides some care previously offered only by physicians and in most states has the ability to prescribe medications. Working in collaboration with a physician, a nurse practitioner provides high-quality, cost-effective and individualized care for the lifespan of patient’s special needs."

The organization of NPs in Virginia began a quarter century ago in the regional or local areas of the state. With the growth in the number of NPs throughout the state, Virginia NPs initially organized to become a Professional Practice Group of the VNA. In 1984, the VCNP became a council of the VNA, and as such has continued to grow in membership and in the services provided to its members. Membership now is over 1,300. Although there are other specialty NP groups, the VCNP offers an advantage for all NPs in Virginia because of its association with the VNA and the American Nurses Association (ANA) with their broad based membership and the resources available through these relationships.

Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur, By Carolyn Zaumeyer:"Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, ARNP is a graduate of Florida International University and President and Owner of Women's Health Watch, Inc. Over seven years ago Carolyn ventured into independent nursing practice. When planning her new practice, she did a literature review and was unable to locate any resource material to guide the nurse practitioner in developing her practice. While she was putting together her new venture, she was also keeping detailed notes, hoping that eventually she would be able to help other nurse practitioners interested in independent practice. In 1995 she published the book, "The Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur: How to Establish and Operate an Independent Practice - a reference and resource manual." This book has enjoyed national sales over the years, and many universities and colleges have utilized it as a text. It is now available for sale at our Website, "The Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur". It continues to guide and instruct nurse practitioners on how to establish, organize, and operate an independent nursing practice. Email Carolyn."

Defining Nurse Practitioner Scope Of Practice:"Nurse Practitioners have demonstrated the ability to provide care to many underserved groups, such as children, women, migrant workers, the homeless, and the elderly in nontraditional settings, such as schools, work sites, and health departments. Although multiple studies have documented the high quality of care and cost-effectiveness of APNs, these nurses remain an under-utilized resource. 2 Schools of Nursing are investing significant resources for preparation of NPs and NPs are graduating in record numbers. Globally, there are increasing opportunities for nurses with advanced practice skills. It becomes imperative to resolve the scope of practice issues for NPs to gain the needed public support to expand their role to meet much needed primary care services. 3 Yet restrictive practice environments continue to limit their efficient use both nationally and internationally."
