Does Pink "missundaztand" nurses? , Nursingadvocacy.org:"Missundaztood" dresses Pink's young misfit thing in safe rock and hip-hop styles, and the self-declared un-Britney emerges with a fairly engaging album for bubblegum pop graduates. Unfortunately, the record includes a prominent and troubling reference to nurses." ******************************************************
"Learning The Bones." Nursingadvocay.org" Thoughtful, insightful and objective analysis from the Center staff--thank you.

And I agree that it casts no particular aspersions on nurses as a group." ******************************************************
"Will & Grace" Bombshell, Nursingadvocacy.org:"In its November 13 episode, NBC's popular sitcom "Will & Grace" began a wacky but worrisome foray into the world of "student nursing."

Physical and Mechanical Restraints, Direct Patient Care Links:
Restraints, Emedicine.com:"Restraints are any physical or pharmacological means used to restrict a patient's movement, activity, or access to their body. Patients generally have a right to be free from restraints unless restraint is necessary to treat their medical symptoms or to prevent patients from harming themselves or others.
Restraining a patient raises serious concerns, such as infringement on patient autonomy, limits on freedom of movement, claims of battery, and risk of physical and/or psychological injury resulting from restraints. Therefore, before using restraints, health care professionals must carefully weigh the benefits of the restraint against the risks of the restraint, and they always should consider whether alternatives to restraint are available." ******************************************************

WebAnatomy, General College at the University of Minnesota:"WebAnatomy is an interactive quiz program that was initially designed for freshman anatomy and physiology students in General College at the University of Minnesota.
The site is free to all users. Additionally, the site does not record or send performance data to anyone. Use the activities as many times as you wish; no one but you knows about your performance. There are no time limits on any activity. WebAnatomy is intended to be a very low-pressure learning activity.
The images on WebAnatomy originate from three different sources. First, a large collection of non-copyrighted line-art; second, color images from a LifeArt CD ROM (which gave us permission a number of years ago to use their images as long as we "marked them up" with leader lines); and third, from McGraw Hill, who had me make a collection of WebAnatomy activities for an anatomy and physiology textbook." ******************************************************

Certified Nursing Assistants, CNA, Nursing & Healthcare Jobs:
What's It Like? Nursing Aides & Patient Care Technicians, Career Prospects in Virginia, University of Virginia:"In hospitals and nursing homes, patients need constant basic round-the-clock care. Someone has to help them do all the things they can't do for themselves--including dressing and bathing, eating and getting in and out of bed. Nursing aides are the people who provide these and other basic personal care services to patients in hospitals, nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
Also called hospital attendants, and patient care or hospital assistants, nursing aides generally work under the supervision of nurses. Those with more training and advanced responsibilities often have the job title "technician" instead of "aide" or "assistant." Their role in any health care facility is vitally important, since nursing aides actually have more contact with patients than any other hospital staff." ******************************************************

What do I buy? Nursingdiscussion.com:"Hello everyone!
I am trying to get everything ready for my clinicals in August. I thought it would be easier to buy it as the Summer goes on rather than buy it all at once. I have my uniforms now and I am on to shoes. I am leaning towards the Nursemates Seneca shoe. The requirement is that the shoes are closed toe, closed heel and white leather. I know I am going to be on my feet a lot and I thought that this would be a good place to ask what works and what doesn't." ******************************************************

Listening to Nurses: Dissatisfaction and Burnout on the Job, American Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO:""We tell the student nurses to run for their lives." Nurses may constitute the most dissatisfied professions in the United States today. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, slightly more than two-thirds of registered nurses (69.5 percent) reported being even "moderately satisfied" with their jobs.76 By contrast, 85 percent of workers in other industries and 90 percent of professional workers are satisfied with their jobs.77
A 1999 survey done by the Nursing Executive Center reported similarly troubling findings: 28 percent of RNs said they were either "somewhat" or "very dissatisfied" with their jobs; 51 percent were somewhat satisfied and only 21 percent were very satisfied. Reporting on recent changes in the industry, a whopping 51 percent of all RNs stated that they were less satisfied with their jobs than they had been just two years earlier.78" ******************************************************
