Wishing nurses everywhere a Happy International Nurses Day. May 12 is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale who is often referred to as the founder of nursing for her contributions to the nursing profession.One of the things Ms. Nightingale is credited with is bringing infection control measures to the battlegrounds of Turkey during the Crimean war. Many lives were saved as a result

Randy Burton, The StarPhoenix Published: Thursday, March 13, 2008 It's hard to overestimate the effect of adding almost 300 nurses to the health system in a matter of months. In one stroke, the provincial government and the health regions have made it more than one-third of the way to the goal of hiring 800 nurses over four years. One recruiting trip to the Philippines has netted the province

Women suffering with postpartum depression may in future be able to receive psychotherapy from a specially trained nurse over the phone, eliminating barriers to treatment such as distance, time, or the availability of a psychologist or psychiatrist. Dr Cindy-Lee Dennis, Canada Research Chair in Perinatal Community Health at the Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto, is the lead investigator in the Postpartum Depression Interpersonal Psychotherapy Trial, which is evaluating an innovative way to deliver treatment for postpartum depression, particularly to women in rural or remote areas where they may not have access to a psychologist or psychiatrist, let alone one who specializes in postpartum depression. "This is pushing the boundaries of the role of nurses," says

Happy Nurses Day and Nurses Week!In the U.S. today is Nurses Day. International Nurses Day is May 12, the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale. Celebrate being a nurse... Even if no one has done anything to acknowledge Nurses Day or Nurses Week. Let's face it, some people are just not good at planning parties, events or even saying Thank You! All too often, those are the people who are the administrative staff, managers, supervisors etc. who should be in charge of marking this event. Next time, you need to step up and take charge so something gets done.Meanwhile...whatever is or isn't planned today....celebrate YOU. You make a difference in someone's life everyday!!! Stop and say thanks to yourself. Do something for you today. And tell another nurse, thanks for being a nurse to

Beginning Monday, May 5, the American Nurses Association asks all nurses to call, Email, or FAX their Senators and Representatives and encourage them to honor nurses during Nurses Week (May 6-12) by co-sponsoring the Registered Nurse Safe Staffing Act of 2007 (S.73/H.R.4138). The bill was introduced in the Senate by Daniel Inoye (D-HI) and in the House by Lois Capps (D-CA) and Ginny Brown-Waite (R-FL). (Rep. Capps is an RN.)According to the ANA, this bill would hold hospitals accountable to establish "valid, reliable, unit-level nurse staffing plans." The plans would be developed by direct-care RNs and would be based on the unique needs and characteristics of the unit.Encourage your patients to get involved and contact their legislators as well.Do something for yourself, your colleagues an

 Outside of being wonderful wives and mothers, Filipinos are known to be excellent caring nurses. It is an honorable profession to take care of others and be nice to them while doing it.

I just posted a question on the Nursing Site Network.... If a new nurse asked you how you survived your first year as a nurse, what would you say helped you the most? Join the Network and give us your best advice. Research says new nurses are the most vulnerable at the six month point until about nine to twelve months. We need to help them stick it out!!! How did you get past this point and live to tell about it? Please share your advice with fellow nurses. Thanks for your time!!!!

I recently had the honor of reviewing a terrific resource book for health care professionals who treat Spanish speaking patients. You can read this review at Suite101.com.  Ahora Hablo Medical Edition Simple Steps to Communicate with Spanish-Speaking Patients is just that.... a simple to use guide.Written by a high school Spanish teacher with the assistance of nurses and a doctor, this guide provides easy to use phrases and simple sentences to assist the health care professional in a head to toe assessment and basic patient teaching. It doesn't take the place of an interpreter, but in a pinch it can certainly help to put your patients at ease and get the basic vital information to start diagnosing or treating the patient.If you have some Spanish education, this guide helps you to focus yo

Now how would Teri Hatcher react if she watched the sick Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center video scandal, a.k.a “Cebu Black Suede Scandal”?

Nurses Day and Nurses Week are rapidly approaching. I hope you and your facility have something exciting planned to honor your nursing staff. If not, it's not to late to set something up.Remember, you cannot expect unrealistic goals and outcomes. This is not a time when the administration is going to grant huge raises, or tell you they've been able to hire many more nurses to relieve your staffing issues. Even if they forgo the trinkets, you're not going to see that money suddenly become a huge budget for raises and benefits. So be gracious and accept that water bottle or key chain as a token of their appreciation for all that you do. Nursing is about making your own rewards. Why did you choose to become a nurse in the first place.? Who's life did you make a difference in today? Yesterd

Doctors are leaving primary care in droves. That's the word on the street. Even my own doctor is leaving our local health center to become a hospitalist. As malpractice insurance goes through the roof, paperwork requirements become more stringent, and reimbursement rates plummet (even for Medicare and Medicaid claims), it seems that more and more doctors are choosing to specialize, leaving the pedestrian boredom of primary care for the sexy remunerative opportunities of various medical specialties.Now, I'm sure that the reasons for a primary physician shortage are far more nuanced than I have so flippantly elucidated here, but the sad reality is that millions of Baby Boomers will begin to retire any day now, and they will all be in need of long-term primary care and preventive medicine in

“I do not want to work as a nurse yet.” This is what I always reply during interviews whenever I apply for work that is not Nursing-related.

"I chose the wrong profession," said Dr PalThe nursing profession seems to be in shock. On one hand they are reeling from the turmoil created by professional insulin expert Colin Norris and on the other hand Conservative peer Lord Mancroft told the world that nurses are “promiscuous” and “unprofessional”. Of course, they are promiscuous, what else is left in this dreaded NHS apart from sex. It is the only thing that remains free [ apart from the condoms which continue to hike up in price]. Crippen suggests spray on condoms. Dr Rant weighs in. He says " When I went to university, I was attending hundreds of lectures and studying on the wards. My friends were smoking dope and getting laid". Crippen responded "I have finally found out why Dr Rant is so angry. It seems that, throughout

Even if you're not interested in politics, political events affect your life as a nurse everyday. Politics affects our patients and the corporations or small business we work for. Like it or not, nurses need to become informed about the issues at stake in their homelands and how political candidates stand on these issues. Nurses need to make their voices heard and know who to contact. Most importantly, nurses need to vote!Livesmarter suggests The 10 Most Important Political Issues for Nurses in 2008 include such matters as health insurance, education, media image, staffing levels, and drug companies. A National Nurse in America is another suggested point.

Annual celebrations of the nursing profession will take place in a few weeks. In the U.S., National Recognition Day for Nurses (aka Nurses Day) is May 6 and Nurses Week is May 6-12. In 1996, the American Nurses Association initiated National RN Recognition Day as May 6 as well.May 12 is the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale. In honor of this, the International Council of Nurses recognizes May 12 each year since 1965 as International Nurses Day.This year the American Nurses Association has set the theme for Nurses Week as Nurses Making a Difference Everyday. The Canadian Nurses Association will reprise its 2007 theme Think you know nursing? Take a Close Look for National Nurses Week which will be celebrated May 12 to 18, 2008.

Once again the value of nurses in providing quality care and improved outcomes for patients has been demonstrated by a study involving family medicine practices and diabetic patients. From the Annals of Family Medicine; January/February 2008.This result is not surprising. However, this particular study looks at outcomes in family practices with Nurse Practitioners versus physicians alone and practices with physicians and Physician Assistants. The practices with NPs provided better care.John Q. Public may not understand why this is so, but nurses will certainly understand why. The minimum education requirements for PAs and NPs is vastly different, as is the content and focus. You can become a PA with an Associate degree, whereas an NP now has to have an MSN or equivalent.

Welcome 2008. A new year has arrived and the question on most foreign nurses' minds is about the immigration prospects for foreign nurses to the US. The past year showed very little progress for nursing immigration and this year, an election year in the US, promises very little for a comprehensive immigration reform in the country.Continue to have faith, however, that there could be good news for nurses hoping to migrate to the US. If there is something that can be done this year, it should happen in the first quarter when the entire US is not yet consumed with election-related issues.Immigration expert Carl Shusterman, in his monthly newsletter, says that he is hopeful a legislation to bridge the nursing shortage in the US would be passed early this year. "House leaders have indicated tha

It’s obvious the province has made this a priority and is moving fast on it,” said Karmen Fittes, director of shared services with the David Thompson Health Region.She hopes about 50 of the foreign nurses who respond to the government initiative will end up calling the Red Deer area their home.More than 100 registered nurses are needed across the health region for the workforce of about 2,000 RNs.

Japan will accept 1,000 nurses and health care workers from Indonesia from as early as next year under a free trade pact to help ease the country's shortage of such staff, a report said Saturday. The move will mark the first time Japan has brought in foreign nurses and care workers on a full-time basis, the Nikkei business daily said. For two years from April, Japan will annually accept 200 licensed nurses and 300 certified care workers, the newspaper said. If the program is well received, the figures may be increased for the third year, the Nikkei said. Nurses will be limited to staying for three years and care workers for four years on their Indonesian certificates and licences. But they can extend their stay by passing Japanese nursing exams or receiving Japanese caregivers certificates.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com

I know from experience that there are a lot of home health nurses out there who need a place to share information and to vent. It's hard to get a forum up and running and keep it active.

Nurses looking for jobs in New Zealand, beware!The Labor department issued a warning on Monday against recruiters collecting excessive fees from applicants.Labor Secretary Arturo Brion urged nurses or nursing graduates who have been offered jobs in New Zealand in exchange for exorbitant fees to report these individuals or agencies to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration for the filing of appropriate charges.Reports reaching the Department of Labor and Employment indicate that Filipino nurses offered jobs in New Zealand had to pay between P500,000 and P700,000 to manpower agencies that brokered for their deployment.Upon arrival in New Zealand, the recruited nurses were placed in rest homes for which they were automatically billed 15 percent of their monthly salary.Brion said the Philippine embassy in Wellington, New Zealand received complaints from victims who had been referred to the POEA for the filing of cases against erring agencies.

If you're like me, you've become weary of all the debates and hoopla. This has gone on far too long. Now finally it will begin to get serious. It's time now to start paying attention.The American Nurses Association has been in touch with the candidates from both major political parties to determine how they stand in support of nurses. The ANA has been criticized by some for only showing democratic candidate's responses. That's because for the most part the Republicans aren't talking to the ANA. You can read all about ANA's involvement and participate in an online vote starting on January 3. Although ANA does not believe that nurse staffing ratios should be legislated, many issues regarding nurses and the shortage of nurses will be important factors in this campaign.

Some very disturbing news is exposed in the San Francisco Chronicle today. We all know that as nurses we are exposed to chemicals, germs, and a whole lot of unknown problems everyday. It's just part of the risks we take to help others. But how much exposure is too much? And what is being done to protect us?The results of an online survey of 1500 nurses in the U.S. conducted by the Environmental Working Group and Health Care Without Harm shows that nurses are being affected by their exposure to eleven common health care chemicals.These common chemicals include:hand disinfectantscleaning agentslatexchemotherapy drugs and antiretroviralsgasses used in anesthesiaproducts containing mercuryshampoos and soapschemicals used to sterilize equipmentThe results of the survey show that nurses who were regularly exposed to these chemicals had increased rates of asthma, caner and miscarriages.

With retrogression, hospitals in the US have temporarily suspended their sponsorship programs for foreign nurses. Some continue their recruitment efforts but the most they can do is file for the Petition for Alien Worker or I-140.When visas become available, look for US hospitals to start sponsoring foreign RN again. Here are a few hospitals in Southern California that have sponsored foreign RNs in the past:Saint John's Health Center - www.stjohns.orgGood Samaritan Hospital - www.goodsamcareers.orgTenet California - teamtenet.comEnloe Medical Center - www.enloe.orgAntelope Valley Hospital - www.avhospital.orgWhite Memorial Hospital - www.whitememorial.comJust like other hospitals, these facilities have put their foreign recruitment efforts on hold, but look for them once there's some relief from retrogression.IMPORTANT NOTE:This posting should not be seen as an endorsement, rather it is for information purposes only.

The income tax system works differently in the US compared to the Philippines. Whereas, a nurse's salary in Manila will only be deducted with a single income tax based on his or her salary bracket (or based how much the person earns annually), their US counterparts, on the other hand, may be charged a Federal income tax (US Federal governement), a State income tax (state level) and, possibly, a local income tax (county or city level).The Federal income tax ranges from 15% to 35%. Florida, Texas and Washington charge the maximum 35%, however theses states no not have state income taxes. State income taxes range from 3% to 9.5%. The lowest state income tax is in Illinois, which has a flat rate of 3%. Vermont has the highest as it uses the maximum 9.5%. In California, state income tax ranges from 1% at $6,622 in income and increases to 9.3% over $43,468. Nurses whose basic pay exceeds the minimum for the highest bracket are usually in the 9.3% income tax category. Aside from the income t

I believe that nurses in Australia are poorly paid. Throughout nursing history nurses have done an exceptional job in often extreme pressure and stress and they deserve everything they get. Financially nurses are often better of working overseas and there is a trend developing for Australian nurses taking temporary jobs in the United States. This phenomenon is called travel nursing and not only is it a great way to secure your financial future, but can be a great way to see some of the world.Finance for nurses is much the same for the rest of Australian workers, it pays to look for a really good superannuation fund and add a little bit extra if possible which the government will match. Investing in managed funds, shares, property and all possible for nurses and you should contact your financial adviser/planner to discuss some of these options.If you are thinking of becoming a travel nurse then always consider taxation and other issues, luckily Australia and the United States have a tax

A group of Filipino nurses facing criminal charges in New York has received $25,000 in legal assistance from the Philippine government to pursue legal actions against their employer. Twenty-seven Filipino nurses quit their jobs in April 2006 from the Avalon Gardens Rehabilitation and Health Care Center. They accused SentosaCare group of companies of breach contract after they were assigned to work outside the scope specified in their contract upon arrival in the US. Eleven of them, including medical board top placer Elmer Jacinto, have been accused of conspiracy and endangering the welfare of children in a pediatric ventilator unit after leaving their posts in April last year due to labor row. The US justice department, Civil of Rights Division, dismissed the case on Aug. 31, 2007 for “insufficient evidence of reasonable cause to believe the injured parties were discriminated."read more digg story[IMG]http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k90/jaychitecson/468x60.jpg[/IMG]

Resuscitation is unpredictableThe Royal College of Nursing clearly has problems. They have though exceeded themselves. I have this idea that top heavy nurses have always really wanted to be doctors. I discussed the implications of their current guidance in the blog piece Angel of Death. The Royal College of Nursing said its members were often in the best position to decide if someone should receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or be left to die in dignity.Really? I though beg to differ. I like nurses but I really do think this should be a team decision. I seriously do not think they are trained in the clinical acumen required by doctors. Often, when nursing staff have advised me that a patient should die, I have ended up reviving them. There are certain clinical signs evident to a doctor that may not be spotted by a nurse. It is to do with the type of training we undergo. For instance, a few years ago, I was advised that the patient should be a DNR by a nurse. I am not one to DN

I woke this morning to hear on the news that... "Nurses are to be granted the power for the first time to let patients who stop breathing die." So my first words today were, "Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!" In the past it was only qualified doctors who could rule on your death, but now senior nurses will get to have a go. They say it's better because the nurses are closer to the patient, but that's why I think it's bad. The doctor wouldn't have a personal grudge. But that means you'll have to be nice to the nurses, just in case. And you might annoy a nurse in ways you just can't help. If someone... [[ This is a content summary only.

ROBOT nurses could be bustling around hospital wards in as little as three years. The mechanised "angels" - being developed by EU-funded scientists - will perform basic tasks such as mopping up spillages, taking messages and guiding visitors to hospital beds. They could also be used to distribute medicines and even monitor the temperature of patients remotely with laser thermometers. Working in teams, the intelligent robots will be able to communicate with each other and co-ordinate their duties. Scientists from the universities of Warwick, Cardiff, Dublin and Newcastle are among the engineers and software experts taking part in the "IWARD" project. They aim to have a three-robot prototype system ready by 2010. It is hoped the machines will ease pressure on hospitals and free staff to spend more time with patients. By helping to keep wards cleaner, they could also cut infections by hospital superbugs such as MRSA. Each "nursebot" will consist of a mobile platform mounted with a module

On Tuesday, the US Senate approved by unanimous voice vote to include Amendment 3449 to the budget appropriations bill of the Departments of Labor, Health & Human Services, and Education. Amendment 3449, introduced by Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, seeks to give 61,000 visas for nurses, physical therapists and their immediate families. Nurses and PTs are part of the Schedule A classification, which states that these occupations are shortage jobs in the US.The approval of the amendment in the Senate is a major victory. The Senate was recently the battleground for the controversial immigration reform bill which was voted down. The appropriations bill will now face a Senate-House conference for the final phase of the legislative process in Congress. If the bill gets through, it will be submitted to President Bush for final review and approval. At both levels, the bill faces very tough challenges. If the bill makes it past the joint conference, the President could still veto the bill and h

By Cynthia Balana Inquirer Last updated 09:55pm (Mla time) 10/21/2007 MANILA, Philippines--The number of Filipino nurses seeking work in the United States from January to September 2007 has dramatically increased by almost 50 percent, according to the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP). Alex Aguilar, TUCP spokesperson, said that 15,083 Philippine-educated nurses took the

Over the past week, two amendments were offered in the US Senate that would recapture unused visas for Schedule A applicants, particularly foreign nurses, and their families. Hammond Law Group, in its Web site, said these amendments could be tackled as early as this week.The first amendment seeks to recapture 61,000 unused visa. This amendment is being attached to the Labor Health and Human Services appropriations bill co-sponsored by Sen. Schumer and Sen. Hutchison.The second amendment seeks to recapture visas not just for Schedule A workers and their family members but also for other Employment-based visa applicants.We hope these amendments get approval and their parent bills later being signed into law.

The number of Filipino nurses seeking employment in the United States has soared almost 50 percent, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) said on Friday.

National Council of State Boards

It seems all is quiet in the frontlines of the US immigration struggle. After the failed push to reform US imigration policies earlier this year, talks of new immigration bills have been relegated to the sidelines and talked about in hushed tones. There is simply too much drama associated with immigration in the US that any debate on the matter sets off fireworks.Despite this, we're all hoping proposals to give more freedom for foreign nurses to enter the US would still be moving forward. Advocates for the nurses' cause are expecting things to inch forward by November until early next year. We're hoping Congress will look at this issue more favorably and then let's pray for the US Senate to follow suit.But until then, let's all be patient. Now is the perfect time to get your own papers ready; now is the time to hone your skills and add weight to your stock. So that when the road opens up again, you'll be all set.

Bula (Hello), and welcome to the autumn edition of Nurses Notes.From the greeting in the opening line, you may or may not have guessed that I am in Fiji mode and will endeavour to stay that way as long as I possibly can. I have just returned home after a marvellous (and much needed) 10 day holiday at the fabulous Hideaway Resort on the coral coast of Fiji.While at Hideaway, I refreshed my scuba diving skills with Diveaway Fiji, and went on to complete my Advanced Open Water Scuba Diver course. My passion for scuba diving was well and truly re-ignited and I plan on returning to Hideaway next year and completing my Rescue Diver course with them. The diving team at the resort were spectacular and are very passionate about showing you the magnificent treasures that await you in the underwater world. I know it sounds odd but some of the diving spots are just like they are from the movie ‘Finding Nemo’.One site known as ‘Casbah’ was particularly like it. The diving was just wonderful

Nurse Pat Carroll, an author for What Nurses Know and Doctors Don't Have Time To Tell You, provide us with tips on common illnesses. Here are some of the information:Got headache?Take one uncoated single-ingredient painkiller, along with a cup of tea. Caffeine actually speeds up relief.Do you have allergies? Take a shower at night. Hair is a pollen magnet.
