I usually give my e-mail newsletters a passing glance, but a couple of links in my ADVANCE for Nurses e-mail today were pretty good.
Professional vulnerability
This editorial discusses the "who can call themselves a nurse" issue. I've heard some of it before, but this is a good read nevertheless.
A clean exchange
This article discusses the fine art of the handoff. As a new nurse, this was a good article and made me think.
From the snail mail box:
I subscribe to AJN, which is a great publication if you haven't read it lately. I find at least two good articles in there every month. October's issue is no different. One of the more interesting articles this month (a CE article) discusses motivational interviewing. It's more outpatient than inpatient, but I think it has tips that are valuable, even in the inpatient setting. I also thought that the article about insulin management, Rethinking Sliding-Scale Insulin, although, geared toward ICU nurses, has great tips for the rest of us on the floors. At least, I'll have something interesting to discuss with the endocrinologist when he's on the floor next time. (We have a very, very wonderful one at Saintarama. He's the best!)
More next time...enjoy! I'm off to be computer geek for the rest of my day off, since I'm back on at the Hotel Rehab tomorrow. Ciao!
