Nuggets for April 12

Here are a few items of note from the internet.

WSJ Health Blog
It's billed as the "WSJ's blog on health and the business of health". As a former subscriber (and business major in another life), I really enjoy the Journal's take on this subject. There are several posts on current healthcare business topics, so go on over and check it out.

Salt 'n Pepper Nursing (from EDNurseasaurus)
An interesting take on experienced nurses sharing information for the rest of us from someone who knows.

Before Code Blue: Who's minding the patient? (from Hell on White Clogs)
This post references a http://www.msnbc.com/ article of the same name (see the article for the link) addresses one of the most common causes of death in the hospital these days--failure to rescue.

I posted a reply to this conversation that followed because I felt a little uneasy about people dissing one year or accelerated program nurses and got an interesting reply.

Phones vs. Physicians-The Showdown (from fatdoctor)
Doc, it's not just you...those rascally patients drive us nurses nuts chatting all day on the phone, too. Somedays, you just wish they'd hang up!
