Nursing, Radio/Podcast

The 2010 Institute of Medicine (now National Academy of Medicine) report on The Future of Nursing recommended that the profession increase the proportion of nurses prepared at the baccalaureate level. Most of the progress on this recommendation has been through developing streamlined and creative RN-to-BSN programs. But New York has passed a new law requiring RNs to obtain a baccalaureate degree within 10 years of being licensed in the state. Called the “BSN in 10”, the law grandfathers in existing nurses.  The law took a number of years to pass but may serve as a model for other states.

I had the opportunity to interview Donna Cutting, Assistant Professor of Nursing, and Susan Deane, Professor and Program Director for the Online RN-BSN Program at SUNY (State University of New York) at Delhi about the new law on my radio program, HealthCetera in the Catskills, that aired on January 3, 2018, on WIOX Radio in the Central Catskills.

The program opens with a segment from “The Devil’s Nurse” and my commentary about people’s lack of understanding of what nurses do.

Emojis help to navigate irony in text and to clarify tone in a voiceless medium. I wonder, when looking at emojis, if there are no words, then why not emojis? Unicode released the 2018 list of 157 new emojis last week. Be creative like the two examples below and try using emojis.

@MissLawrence is a primary care teacher who created an emoji chart for her student who has difficulty expressing his emotions. She offered to email it to it her Twitter followers. The requests were numerous so she uploaded it to TES where you can download a copy.

 

 

The mosquito emoji will be available for this summer. Hopkins and the Gates Foundation proposed it for public health communication. The emoji was approved by the Unicode Consortium after a lengthy approval process. Read about it here.

Rob Porter, a top White House aide with regular access to President Donald Trump, resigned today following reports by Porter’s ex-wives who both accused him of domestic abuse. Colbie Holderness, Porter’s first wife, and Jennifer Willoughby, Porter’s second wife, both said their ex-husband’s consistent abuse was the reason for their respective divorces. The allegations were first reported earlier this week by the Daily Mail.

Holderness said that Porter’s repeated physically abusive behavior also included throwing her on the bed and forcefully pushing one of his limbs into her body in anger.

“The vast majority of domestic-violence victims who show signs of traumatic brain injury never receive a formal diagnosis.” Rachel Louise Snyder

Strangulation is often misconstrued as “choking,” but experts believe there is an important distinction between the two. The lack of understanding on this issue persists in hospitals and police stations throughout the country, there is a critical need for more training, more felony strangulation statutes, and more research.
