For a review of what is going on with Nurse Bloggers, check out these sites and articles:
Emergiblog, writes about a blogging crisis of sorts. Since my blog is in it’s infancy, I can’t relate to a mid-blog crisis, but I think all of us who write regularly go through ups and downs in our creativity and energy! Take two aspirin, and get back at it, is my free medical opinion, Kim! (and you get what you pay for!!!)
jparadisi writes, “It Ain’t No Sin To Be Glad You Are Alive” a well written glimpse into the lives of nurses. Take a minute and read the post. You will be glad you did.
At Nurse Zone, check this post about OR Nurses asking for universal Time Out. We have been doing Time Out at our facility for a couple of years now. For you non-medical readers, Time Out is a brief moment before a surgical case is started inn the operating room. The OR is supposed to be silent, and the procedure, equipment, patients full name is announced-similar to a check list before takeoff in aplane.
Impacted Nurse, has this article about disaster response and nurses. Particularly interested in the mental aspects of responding to disasters and its affect on the medical responders.
Nurse Practioner’s View encourages men to get Prostate Exams. Great advice. I tell my patients that prostate cancer is God’s revenge on men, for Women’s suffering during childbirth.
At Your Cervix, writes about the dying art of hands on nursing. True in most parts of medicine.
Sean at Male Nurse, writes about falling off the fitness/healthy eating train. Been there/done that! Great advice-get after it once again!
Laney, at Nursing Student Chronicles discusses the wonders of putting classroom learning together in real-world patients. Most of those things we do learn for a reason, although that can be hard to fathom while studying at 2AM.
See Jane Nurse writes about Bondage-now get your mind out of the gutter-not that kind of Bondage… well maybe not, you have to go read to find out.
End of Life Care, and conversations with family members involved is the topic of Torontoemerg’s latest post!
Head Nurse discusses blood drawing etiquette.
