Description:

What a crazy nurses week this has been this year! And to top it off, the year of the nurse. Crazy times. First, I want to wish everyone a happy nurses week! May your trinkets be useful and your patients kind. You are valued and have touched countless lives. F.A. Davis has opened up their scholarship applications for the spring 2020 semester. Very easy to apply. And there is a code for discounts on their products. I recently had the opportunity to be a guest blogger for Stephen at Page the PA he is a rock star on Instagram sharing his experiences as he goes through PA school. He is doing his ICU rotation soon, so I thought I would tell him a few secrets from this veteran ICU nurse! Please connect with him on IG @PagethePA and tell him I sent you!!When most students, rotate through the ICU, they literally enter another world in health care. Whether they are new residents on service for the month, PA students, medical students or nursing students, the ICU experience is like no other rotation.  Sure, you may have seen a few sick folks, but ICU patients take that to a whole new level. It’s a smorgasbord of problems – all in one human fighting to survive. It’s the land with more devices, tubes and drains than any human should have to endure.  But, there is nothing like caring for a patient with multiple, often competing problems. The challenges are endless and the environment is often fast paced and demanding. But for a visiting student, it is certainly intimidating.So, here’s a few tips from this 20-year ICU nurse that will hopefully make your experience a smooth one and ultimately make you want to come back for more!

In hospitals around the county, there is a brotherhood and camaraderie between our law enforcement officers and health care workers, especially nurses. We all are literally on the front line of public service on a daily basis. So when I see something like this, I just cannot wrap my head around it. I have been wanting to get my thoughts out for a while, but I wanted to get all the facts first, cool down, and really analyze what happened. Continue reading Share this:ShareEmailFacebookPinterestPrintTwitter Well, another week of health care in the news. Lots of discussions, arguments, heated debates and the occasional cordial conversation on what changes need to be made. From Obamacare to staffing ratios to violence against health care workers . lots of news these days affecting healthcare. But what I notice is missing where are the nurses in these conversations?? I see lots of people and analysts discussing how health care needs this change or that one, but where are the front line workers. Oh, yeah .they are actually doing the work. But if there was every a time, it is now nurses need to be the change.And it starts with me. And you. Continue reading Share this:ShareEmailFacebookPinterestPrintTwitter
