1. MORE NURSING HUMOR…

Q: Did you hear about the nurse who died and went straight to hell?
A: It took her two weeks to realize that she wasn't at work anymore!

You know you're a nurse if:

You believe every patient needs TLC:
Thorazine, Lorazepam and Compazine.

When asked, "What color is the patient's diarrhea?", you show them your shoes.

You know the phone numbers of every late night food delivery place in town by heart.

Your sense of humor seems to get more "warped" each year.

You can read many more at:

3. A Nurse's Viewpoint: Retain, recycle, replenish, and recruit

This article is from HealthLeaders.com written by a nurse from a nurse's viewpoint.
It must be about the same where you live. The newspapers, news magazines, radio, and television news report almost daily on some aspect of the current nursing crisis, or on its sequelae in the world of healthcare delivery. That's the good news. We need to keep this situation in the public focus.
We also need to ensure that our healthcare administrators, educators (of every level), and legislators are tuned in to the problem. We have begun to see some results of the swath of attention. But it's just the beginning. The situation has been building for years. Solutions will not occur overnight. Let's look at current events and future needs from A Nurse's Viewpoint.
