Goodies in my world

Modern technology is a very good thing. The more we work with patients with disabilities, the more I am inspired. Ordinary things can do wonders. Extraordinary things blow our minds.

I heard one of our therapists talking about interacting on Facebook. We're finding more and more of our patients are doing that. So why not engage them on Facebook and let them know about our programs? Just another fun part of my job. At least I'm learning about what can and cannot be marketed on social media.

When I'm not getting people to use Facebook, I can evaluate more and better ways to interact with our specialists at Washington. As a rehab nurse, I am thrilled to be working with patients and using these tools to make their experiences better. I can do education in person, phone and via messaging devices.

Working together with a number of disciplines is not only making the experience better for me and the patients, it also makes it better for our providers and the rest of the healthcare team.

And yes, that is a very good thing!

Charge it, baby!

I just love being in charge...the authority, the paperwork, the personal interaction with families and staff.

Now if it really were as great as this, I'd have more time to post, wouldn't I?

Stay tuned for more excitement....
