I’ve been playing around with iMovie lately. I have something nurse-related that I’m working on and might be able to show you towards the end of the week, but in the meantime, enjoy this lovely montage of someone we like to refer to around here as “little B.”
I’ve often heard the complaint that nurses aren’t handmaidens and shouldn’t be treated as such. Head Nurse does a great job of addressing this in her post Handmaidens, Helpmeets and the Problems of Nursing. As much as I want to believe this, though, I have never been able to convince myself that this isn’t true. [...]
Quite a lot, apparently.
Recently I wanted to write a post on SEO and so I decided to check and see how well my blog was ranking for the keywords, nurse blog. A while back I had followed AskShane ’s advice on using titles to increase your SEO. I wanted to rank higher for nurse blog, [...]
So I was writing this post about how I’m really lukewarm on being a nurse and I came upon this post by Lisa Sabin Wilson, a wordpress designer who is a former nurse.
Here’s how she felt about nursing:
…I pretty much thought I would be a nurse until the day I retire…Nursing was one of [...]
I’ve been trying to knock out this post about how Smith & Nephew could be using their website to start a conversation with nurses about wound care products. But to be honest with you, I’m just not feeling it. Instead, I think I’d like to explain to my readers where this blog is headed. I [...]
Last week I wrote this about companies using twitter to reach out to nurses:
Imagine this scenario: You are using a Johnson & Johnson wound care product. Overall, it’s an effective product but there are ways that you see it could be improved…
Turns out I should have done my homework. Apparently J&J is divesting itself of [...]
There are people in the world who actually think that you can get pneumonia because “the nurses wouldn’t put enough blankets on him.”
It’s a good thing that Medicare has removed VAP (Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia) from its proposed no-pay list because otherwise, MICUs everywhere would probably not be able to afford to stay open.
If you’re [...]
As you all know, I’ve been searching for and following nurses on Twitter and as promised, I have come up with a list of everyone I’ve found. Bear in mind that this list is not specifically nurses, more like nurse-type people. I’d estimate that maybe half of the people on this list are nursing students, [...]
I just wrote that in the comment section of Nurse Sean’s blog, and I want everyone to help prove me right.
If you have a few minutes today go and read Sean’s post about ICU orientation. He’s having a tough time of it and I think he could really use some words of encouragement.
Personally, [...]
I got this comment the other day from Trish, and I really have mixed feelings about it:
I just wanted to let you know I like your blog and you have impacted someone’s life (mine), in an unexpected way.
I’m starting college this fall after being out of school many years. I was planning on going into [...]
