Nursing Products We'd Like To See

Updated:   Published

Our very own allnurses member moojoo had a thread requesting advice on how to deal with nurses who won't listen during shift report.

Seasoned allnurses member Emergent gave moojoo an idea on a method of getting and keeping that nurse's attention.

It's .... A NURSING PRODUCT THAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE:

Do you know what's black and white and red all over, Kitiger?

A baby zebra with a really, really bad diaper rash!

One of those plug-in diffusers that emits ativan around the unit. Good for the patients, great for the nurses.

I appreciate your idea, PoodleBreath, but the product would be a variation of this GIF:

eliminator.gif.9aca57300a9278ccc032f07bf9783f2a.gif

I would merely go back, change about 30 frames, load up about 60 images, spend between one and two hours of my time producing a product for an ambiguous audience, and come up with basically the same sort of GIF, only using this image:

So use your imagination, imagine that this "Ativan Man" is pushing his chestplate, spraying Ativan in the air from his head covering, and everything's, like, groovy, okay?

By all means, skip these first four paragraphs and get to the meat of the matter, if you wish.

As I have noted many times before, one of the reasons that I worked as a psych nurse for so long was because people's behaviors interested me. One reason I think that I was a good psych nurse was because of a concept coined by an allnurses psych nurse member, MrChicagoRN. He said he enjoyed being a psych nurse because of "Mental Chess".

Mental Chess is systematic approach,  basically intervening with a psych patient one move at a time, but seeing several moves ahead at the same time. We as nurses in whatever area we work play a sort of Mental Chess. In the OR, for example,  we hand the surgeon the instrument they need at the time, but foresee the possible variables and are ready with the next item required. 

A systematic approach is the key concept here. Once we learn a multitude of variables and their subsequent results, we generally know what to expect. It's the inductive/deductive reasoning thing- we often learn from the general to the specific, then associate or apply that learning in a systematic way. 

What are you getting at here, Davey Do? What are you trying to say?

Well, I'm endeavoring to understand a behavior, and I will truly appreciate your input: Let me know your reasons for your attraction, or repulsion, at these two GIFs.

This animation is brightly colored, two dimensional, fast moving and meant to be obnoxious.

Whereas this animation has more subtle colors, is more three dimensional, slower moving, and gives respect to the viewer.

 

blank-.gif.3051350dc6a3f6fc024f75142e1b9f8e.gif

Of the two, my favorite is the second, yet it received far fewer positive reactions.

So, once again, I ask:  What are  your reasons for your attraction, or repulsion, at these two GIFs?

Thanks!

I can't help you, Davey. I liked them both! ?

I see what you're saying. Maybe we should bring the force of flatulence in to help with the diffusion.?

An identical twin who is also in healthcare. I worked with a few, but they had different jobs. Too bad most twins look different as they get older.

You can get your twin to attend those mandatory meetings at stupid hours. Tell them to just be quiet and sit in the back.

No, I can't.

My Evil Twin is responsible for my lifetime of pain and for all that is wrong in the world today.

I like the pen because it made me giggle and was something I showed my coworkers and they got immediately
