Amanda Trujillo: Martyr or Gadfly? Kathryn Norcutt
Nurses Views of the Nursing Profession:"Most of us in the healthcare sector have probably heard of Ms. Trujillo's name and her impending case and investigation with the Arizona Nursing Board. Unlike many of her nursing brethren who might find themselves in similar situations, (dusting off resumes and crossing fingers while their case is being reviewed) she has found an interesting arena to stand up to her accusers, namely the internet. Ms. Trujillo's inflammatory blogs have stoked the flames in regards to her purported wrongful firing at the hands of the attending physician who contends that she stepped out of her scope of expertise. ******************************************************
Hospital Falls Are Not Always the Healthcare Provider's Fault, Or Are They? by Amanda Trujillo, MSN, RN:"In April of 2005 Mr. William Delk was a patient at Reid Hospital in Indiana when he fell while seated on a rolling commode in the bathroom. Mr. Delk had recently been a victim of a stroke that left him with complete left sided hemiparesis. He had been readmitted with complications associated with the stroke that were described as "a headache and numbness on the left side of his body." (Tammelleo, 2011) According to the case notes William was a rather large man and coupled with the injury from the stroke he was difficult to move. There were usually two to three people recruited to help move him." ******************************************************

Hospice being marketed as a cost-cutter for hospitals, USAToday, #nurseup #nursefriendly #hospice #eolchat:"By Kelly Kennedy, USA TODAY:"Hospice marketers, exploring possibilities for new revenue to help continue the industry's remarkable growth, are looking to exploit a provision in the 2010 health care law by persuading hospitals to send Medicare patients into end-of-life hospice care instead of readmitting them to the hospital.
Such a move, the hospice marketers say, will enable hospitals to avoid paying the Medicare penalties required by the new law when hospitals discharge patients and then have to readmit them within 30 days: Instead of readmitting the patients, hospitals should send them to hospice care, which also is covered by Medicare, according to a USA TODAY analysis of marketing materials.
Patients with severe heart problems and pneumonia tend to decline quickly and often move in and out of hospitals, said hospice marketing specialist Rich Chesney, who proposed the idea." ******************************************************
What is Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility? Kathleen Bartholomew, RN, MN #nurseup #nursefriendly:"It is the persistent downgrading experienced from your peer(s) that eventually undermines your confidence and self esteem. It is a serious problem in nursing due to increased tasks and job pressures, decreased time together and a history of powerlessness – but the biggest problem is that the damage from these behaviors is invisible. Nurse-to-nurse hostility prevents us from coming together to face our current challenges and threatens our profession on every level." ******************************************************
Christian Nursing Home Fires Nurse After Learning She Is HIV-Positive, By Dan Fastenberg, May 22nd 2012, #nurseup #nursefriendly:"According to the lawsuit, the hospital fired the woman because administrators didn't believe that she could perform "the essential function of administering medications" because of her HIV-positive status.
The Centers for Disease Control says the HIV virus is transmitted through direct contact with the bodily fluids or damaged tissue of an infected person, most commonly through sexual intercourse or the sharing of needles. After the outbreak of the AIDS virus in the 1980s, those Americans with the virus were eventually granted protected status as part of the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act.
As a result, Americans with the disease must be given equal opportunity in public accommodations, transportation and employment. As long as the virus does not prevent the worker from carrying out the duties of his or her job, then the employer cannot fire someone simply because they have the human immunodeficiency virus that causes AIDS, says Katharine W. Kores, district director of the EEOC's Memphis District Office." ******************************************************
Judge: PBSO deputies violated nurses' rights by demanding blood tests in suspected DUI cases, By Jane Musgrave, May 20, 2012:"Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies have been violating the constitutional rights of nurses by threatening them with arrest if the hospital workers didn't draw blood from suspected drunken drivers, a federal magistrate has ruled.
In a case involving a nurse at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Riviera Beach, Magistrate James Hopkins said Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and any "officer of reasonable competence" should have realized they can't put a medical professional in handcuffs for refusing to conduct a blood test.
"The Sheriff's Department knew or should have known implementation of the policy would inevitably lead to violations of the Fourth Amendment for false arrest," Hopkins wrote in a 27-page opinion this month.
The ruling stemmed from a lawsuit VA nurse Marjorie DePalis-Lachaud filed last spring against the agency, two years after she was put in handcuffs and forced to sit in a patrol car after she explained to deputy Kenneth Noel that hospital policy prevented her from drawing blood without a doctor's order." ******************************************************
EmbracingCivility.com:"When two North Carolina nurses, Linda Leekley and Stacey Turnure met, they knew right away they had several things in common. They were both passionate about nursing, had a knack for writing and were driven to inspire others to embrace lifelong learning.
They later discovered they had something else in common—something they were not talking about. They had both suffered the ill effects of incivility in the healthcare workplace. Why weren't they talking about it? Because no one talks about it. It's healthcare's dirty little secret. No one wants to admit that a shameful culture of incivility infects most healthcare workplaces." ******************************************************
Texas Nurses Association Establishes Legal Defense Fund, To Support Nurses Indicted for Being Patient Advocates:"In Winkler County, a small West Texas county adjacent to the southeast corner of New Mexico, two registered nurses are facing criminal indictments because they wanted to advocate for their patients. The felony charge: misuse of official information. Under the Texas Penal Code, misuse of information is a third-degree felony that carries the potential for two-to-ten years' imprisonment and upwards of a $10,000 fine. It's a pretty serious situation.
Texas Nurses Association recently learned of the accusation that the two nurses – both TNA members – reported a physician at their hospital – a county hospital – to the Texas Medical Board because they had concern that the physician's practice was below the acceptable standard of care. The nurses were soon thereafter terminated by their hospital employer. And, the physician had also filed a harassment complaint against them with the county sheriff's department. The criminal charges according to a television news broadcast by KWES NewsWest 9 in Midland, Odessa, Big Spring, were because the nurses "sent patient files to the state medical board in an attempt to harm one of the hospital's physicians."
Because the two nurses, Vicki Galle, RN and Anne Mitchell, RN, worked for a county hospital – and included medical record numbers of the patients in their report (actually, no patient names were disclosed) – they were charged with the felony crime of misuse of official information. Even though the Texas Medical Board stated in a letter to Winkler County attorneys that disclosing of patient identification numbers is allowed under state and federal law, the nurses must still defend themselves against the criminal charge. And, they are without their jobs."
NY nurse threatened, forced to assist in late-term abortion, ADF attorneys file lawsuit against hospital for violating Christian nurse's rights of conscience:"Alliance Defense Fund attorneys filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Mount Sinai Hospital on behalf of a Catholic nurse who was forced to participate in a late-term abortion under the threat of disciplinary action, including possible termination and loss of her license. The hospital has known of her religious objections to abortion since 2004.
Hospital administrators told the nurse that the scheduled abortion was an "emergency," though evidence shows otherwise, and insisted moments before the procedure that she assist doctors despite her repeated objections to the procedure, which dismembered a preborn child in the 22nd week of gestation. By federal law, hospitals that receive federal funds cannot force employees to participate in abortion procedures under any circumstances.
"Pro-life nurses shouldn't be forced to assist in abortions against their beliefs," said ADF Legal Counsel Matt Bowman. "Requiring a devout, Catholic nurse to participate in a late-term abortion in order to remain employed is illegal, unethical, and violates her rights of conscience. Federal law requires that employers who receive funding from tax dollars must not compel employees to violate their sincerely held religious beliefs, but this nurse's objections fell on deaf ears."
Fathers and Families:"Fathers and Families assisted Captain Christine Brandt of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps with her Colorado Supreme Court case in which she regained custody of her 12-year-old son. Brandt's ex, George Brandt, tried to take custody of their son away from Christine by using her military service against her. As Brandt's attorney Stanley G. Lipkin, Esq. explained to the Court, this case is "about an active duty military person who has been deprived of the custody of her child solely by reason of her deployments." To learn more, click here.
Fathers and Families wrote an amicus brief for the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court which helped win a precedent-setting case protecting children in joint physical custody from being moved out of state, away from one parent."
Nurses: Insuring Your Legal Protection, Posted on October 31, 2011, The Health Law Firm:"Though many nurses pursue a career in nursing hoping that they will never face disciplinary charges, any number of events not in a nurse's control can lead to an investigation or administrative action. Nurses need to make sure they are covered if this ever occurs, with appropriate insurance.
The primary reason that a nurse should purchase a professional liability insurance policy is that this type of insurance usually includes coverage for legal defense of licensing and disciplinary action commenced against a nurse.
License defense coverage pays the legal fees and costs associated with defending a nurse when an investigation is initiated that may result in action against her nursing license or disciplinary action against the nurse. Coverage is usually available from the time the nurse receives written notice that an investigation by a state agency has been initiated. It will also cover formal complaints made against the nurse, informal hearings before the Board of Nursing, and formal administrative hearings before an administrative law judge."
Just Us Nurses, is discussing #AmandaTrujillo, RN, #nursefriendly #nurseup:""That's what Amanda Trujillo said she was doing last April when she spoke with a patient on the eve of their surgery.
"I discovered that they had a very big misunderstanding about what they were about to participate in," Trujillo told CBS 5 News.
Trujillo, a licensed nurse in Arizona since 2006, said she advised the patient of possible complications.
The patient decided to delay the surgery and reconsider his or her options.
Trujillo said she also ordered a case management consult for the patient to be educated about hospice care.
"The doctor, ultimately, is the focal point that directs care for patients," said Banner spokesman Bill Byron, who said company policy prevents nurses from ordering a case management consult." ****************************************************** Lori 'Minky' Radcliffe, RN, BS, CFNC, CFPC, Founder of Certified Fitness Nurse™ Academy, @loriminkyrad:"At CertifiedFitnessNurseCoach.com we are not personal trainers who happen to be nurses.

Reducing Medication Errors: A Focus on the Med Pass, Capra Dalton RN, CEO, Pedagogy Incorporated:"Recent studies have shed light on the growing problem of medication errors within our healthcare system. It is important that all healthcare providers be familiar with the extent of the problem, both the high error rates and the potentially serious consequences. This knowledge is needed to facilitate active participation in implementing effective strategies and changes in attitudes to decrease these error rates. Errors are in effect a breakdown of a system and not the sole responsibility of any one individual. Designed for the licensed nurse and certified medication aide, this course will provide information on the scope of problem, the cause and the prevention of medication errors. With a focus on the current best practices of medication preparation and administration this course will enhance understanding of the survey process and remedies the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) may enforce. The goal is to reduce facility medication error rates in order to provide safe medication administration to residents." ****************************************************** Carissa Caramanis O'Brien, @carissao Organized Wisdom Profile, Did You Know?

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." ******************************************************

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." ******************************************************

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." ******************************************************

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" ******************************************************
