The Board of Nurses Should Worry You More., Taralynn R. Mackay, RN, JD:"Nurses should also protect themselves by purchasing their own malpractice insurance that contains administrative/regulatory Board coverage. Nursing Associations recommend that all nurses carry insurance even if they think they are covered under an employer's insurance. There are many reasons why nurses do not purchase this inexpensive protection. For example, some nurses believe that an employer's insurance will take care of any problems. However, the employer's insurance may not completely cover the damages and it usually does not cover actions before the Board. Furthermore, in a situation where the employer reports the nurse to the Board, the employer is not going to then spend money defending the nurse. It is also a common misconception that having insurance raises a red flag that draws malpractice lawsuits. There are multiple reasons why a malpractice suit is filed against a nurse and whether you have malpractice insurance or not does not alter those reasons. Nursing malpractice insurance is inexpensive and it provides protection when protection is needed the most. When a nurse receives notice that he or she is being investigated before the Board, it is a great relief to know that malpractice insurance is going to cover the cost of an attorney to represent the nurse before the Board. The Boards of Nursing are getting busier every year and their regulatory powers are likewise increasing. It is crucial that nurses understand the seriousness of a Board investigation. Just like the state will close down a restaurant because they are a public health risk, the state through the Board of Nurses will stop a nurse from practicing if they are a risk to the health of the public. Nurses need to be cautious and prudent in order to protect themselves from possible adverse actions." McDonald, Mackay & Weitz, LLP, 1411 West Avenue, Ste. 200, Austin, Texas 78701 info@healthlicensedefense.com http://www.healthlicensedefense.com/WorriedAboutaMalpracticeLawsuit.html ****************************************************** Nursing Malpractice Insurance, christianet.com:"Clearly, investing in nursing malpractice insurance is of major importance where safeguarding oneself from liability is concerned. In fact, there are a number of reasons why many nurses choose to secure this kind of round-the-clock protection. As a rule, these reasons are based on incidents arising from allegations that nurses caused some form of harm. And one million dollars is not an unusual amount for a nursing malpractice insurance claim. At any rate, especially in the case of injury, a nurse should receive appropriate and timely medical payments. Indeed, there have been instances where global protection proved to be of great benefit. "And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it." (Exodus 2:9)." http://www.christianet.com/lawyer/nursingmalpracticeinsurance.htm ****************************************************** American Nurses Association, Professional Liability Insurance:"A must have for every nurse. Protect your career by purchasing your own coverage at a reasonable price.

For most of her ninety years, Nightingale pushed for reform of the British military health-care system and with that the profession of nursing started to gain the respect it deserved. Unknown to many, however, was her use of new techniques of statistical analysis, such as during the Crimean War when she plotted the incidence of preventable deaths in the military. She developed the "polar-area diagram" to dramatize the needless deaths caused by unsanitary conditions and the need for reform. With her analysis, Florence Nightingale revolutionized the idea that social phenomena could be objectively measured and subjected to mathematical analysis. She was an innovator in the collection, tabulation, interpretation, and graphical display of descriptive statistics." http://www.nursefriendly.com/florence/ Categories: British (UK) Nursing: http://www.4nursing.com/uk Nursing History, http://www.nursefriendly.com/history/ ****************************************************** Infantile Spasms Advocacy Network, Patricia A.

In some cases the brain damage caused by this lack of oxygen could have been prevented if doctors had taken proper steps during delivery to insure the baby was receiving enough oxygen.

Most nurses would agree that the media's treatment of nursing falls short of a fair and accurate portrayal. Of course, there are some serious news reports about the nature and challenges of the profession. And even the entertainment media has offered a few helpful depictions in recent years, showing nurses as troubled but skilled professionals with some autonomy. But the dominant images remain the stereotypes we find in the most popular television shows and global advertising. In these ubiquitous media products, nurses tend to be no more than submissive helpers of the physicians who do everything that matters, or else vacuous sex toys who help companies sell everything from milk to chewing gum." http://www.nursingtimes.net/5019099.article Category: Nursing In The Media, Nurse Portrayals, Sterotypes: http://www.nursefriendly.com/media/ ****************************************************** Melane Mullings, RN, pRN Staffing Solutions™ Inc.:"pRN Staffing Solutions™ Inc. is a recruitment firm that provides Canadian health care facilities with exceptional RNs, for long-term placements, to address the nursing shortage in Canada.

Bronchodilators open up the bronchial tubes so that more air can move through. Bronchodilators also help clear mucus from the lungs. As the airways open, the mucus moves more freely and can be coughed out (expelled) more easily." http://www.webmd.com/asthma/guide/asthma_inhalers_bronchodilators Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ****************************************************** Bronchodilator Medicines, University of Virginia Health System:"Bronchodilators are probably the most commonly used medicines for asthma.

Purdue Pharma currently has two bronchodilator products: Uniphyl and PhylloContin. Once-daily Uniphyl tablets are a sustained release formulation of theophylline used to treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Theophylline eases the cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing associated with these conditions by relaxing and opening the bronchial tubes allowing increased amounts of air to flow into the lungs. PhylloContin tablets contain aminophylline, which is used to treat symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It relaxes and opens air passages in the lungs, making it easier to breathe."

Some nurses, nursing groups and other supporters of the measure say overworked nurses in Alaska pose a serious threat to their patients and themselves, and a state law is needed to protect them from being forced to work overtime. "Mandating that nurses work overtime could be unsafe," said Sue Behnert, a nurse at the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium. But hospital administrators say mandatory overtime isn't a problem in Alaska, and the bill is an unneeded extra regulation that would bog down hospital staff." http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/032408/loc_261108448.shtml ****************************************************** National Jewish Medical and Research Center, Bronchodilators:"Bronchodilators help open the airways in the lungs by relaxing smooth muscle around the airways.

Be sure to carefully read them before using the medicine. If there is any confusion about how to use the medicine, check with the physician or pharmacist. Always use these medicines exactly as directed. Taking larger than recommended doses or using the medicine too often can lead to serious side effects and even death. If symptoms do not improve or if they get worse after using a bronchodilator, call a physician right away. Although some bronchodilators are available without a physician's prescription, these medicines should not be used unless a physician has diagnosed the patient's condition as asthma." http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/bronchodilators Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ****************************************************** Bronchodilators for bronchiolitis, Gadomski AM, Bhasale AL, Cochrane Reviews:"Bronchodilators produce short-term improvements in infants with bronchiolitis but more research is needed Bronchiolitis is an acute, highly infectious lower respiratory tract (chest) infection that is common in infants. It causes the small airways in the lungs to become inflamed, blocking the free passage of air so that the infant becomes breathless, wheezy and short of oxygen. Bronchodilators are drugs often used as aerosols to widen the air passages by relaxing the bronchial muscle. They are effective in helping infants and adults with asthma. However unlike asthmatics, infants with bronchiolitis are usually wheezing for the first time and wheezing for a different reason, that is to say, because their airways are obstructed as opposed to bronchoconstricted. Therefore, infants with bronchiolitis may be less likely to respond to bronchodilators."

An aneurysm is defined as a permanent localized dilatation of an artery, with an increase in diameter of greater than 1.5 times its normal diameter. Abdominal aortic aneurysms may be manifested by catastrophic rupture, signs of pressure on other viscera or an embolism originating in the aneurysmal wall, but most cases are asymptomatic. The diagnosis is often made by physical examination of the abdomen, which reveals a pulsatile mass left of the midline, between the xyphoid process and the umbilicus. The diagnosis may be confirmed by B-mode ultrasound. Ultrasound screening should be considered for individuals at risk for abdominal aortic aneurysms. This group includes individuals over age 60 who smoke, have hypertension or have vascular disease. Elective surgical intervention is indicated for most patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms greater than 5 cm in diameter to prevent rupture and death. Smaller abdominal aortic aneurysms should be monitored by regular ultrasound measurements. Screening and identification of abdominal aortic aneurysms by primary care physicians can have a significant impact on patient survival." http://www.nursefriendly.com/aaa/ **************************************************** What Women Do, Inspirational Poems, Touching Stories:"WOMEN have strengths that amaze men.
