Saw this headline show up on the “Twitter on Nurses” section of OX3:
Nurse Charged With Injecting Patients With Bleach
Basically, a former nurse, working at a DaVita Dialysis Center, injected two of her patients with bleach. Pretty horrific.
I’m wondering why Davita hired a “former” nurse to work in a dialysis center. Must be some reason [...]

So here’s a screenshot of the progress I’ve made this week. Note that these changes aren’t live yet because I’m still tweaking them.
There are two main things I want you to see:
1. The color scheme - I chose to go with some different blues and I ditched the orange for red. Overall I’m happy with [...]

I’ll bet some of you are going to hate me for saying this, but nursing isn’t such a bad job when you only do it part-time. And recovery room nursing isn’t so bad either, even though I’ve complained about it in the past. All it took was one shift back in the MICU to make [...]

If you go take a look at Orientedx3, you’ll see I’ve been performing some much needed CPR on it. It’s definitely a work in progress, as there is much to be done as far as the style and substance are concerned. But I thought it would be great if all of you out there could [...]

Check out this cute video of University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing faculty and students demonstrating the art of EKG interpretation through tap dancing. Now if they could throw a Wenckebach in there, I’d really be impressed. (via Beka at Medscape Nurses)
