  1. Nightingale Nursing ... On its Deathbed

    cherylrenee replied to Sarina Day's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m currently in school to obtain my Bachelor’s in Nursing and I’m working on a project to “tell the world” about my story and experience as a nurse. Please, Please! Tell your story to...

  2. Natural "Medicine"?

    cherylrenee replied to Allison Minor-Green's topic in General Nursing

    I am a believer! I use essential oils and I have experienced benefits. I don't believe anyone is saying they cure diabetes, cancer or other serious diseases. They can be beneficial, cost effective,...

  3. Dear Healthcare Leaders: Self-Care is Not the Answer

    cherylrenee replied to Nurse Writing Nook's topic in General Nursing

    You make a very good point. Our entire healthcare system and our social support system (or the lack thereof) is in crisis. We have so many changes that need to happen. It is larger than just a nursing...

  4. Dear Healthcare Leaders: Self-Care is Not the Answer

    cherylrenee replied to Nurse Writing Nook's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent! This should go to every hospital CEO throughout the country. We have been asking for 20 years. Now it is time to demand a change. Healthcare is going through a major transition, and I...

  5. Nurse Staffing: A Crisis of Epidemic Proportions

    cherylrenee posted a topic in General Nursing

    To address the current nursing shortage, we must first address the reason that so many nurses are leaving the profession. Is it stress from witnessing death on a daily basis as was the case during the...

  6. I Don't Care About Statistics

    cherylrenee replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    think the anger at visitor restrictions/limitations is understandable. I think another fly in the ointment is that some health care workers refused to be vaccinated without true medical...

  7. Fake News: Nursing Shortage Due to Covid

    cherylrenee posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nursing shortage has reached critical levels. That alarming iconic statement is a sign of the times, and it is broadcast daily in the media. Of course, the crisis is blamed on the Coronavirus....

  8. Fake News: Nursing Shortage Due to Covid

    cherylrenee replied to cherylrenee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    These articles are great! Our HR had policies and procedures in place that prevented people from getting hired and made the entire hiring process extremely difficult and convoluted. Only a very few...

  9. Fake News: Nursing Shortage Due to Covid

    cherylrenee replied to cherylrenee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That is the tragedy. The patient is most definitely a loser in our current healthcare system. And we will all be patients sooner or

  10. Fake News: Nursing Shortage Due to Covid

    cherylrenee replied to cherylrenee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree. Unless healthcare corporations make significant changes and make them quickly, they will have to deal with nursing unions. They brought it upon

  11. Fake News: Nursing Shortage Due to Covid

    cherylrenee replied to cherylrenee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Capitalist is the key word. Until the entire system is overhauled, there will be no significant change in our healthcare. Making a profit is more important than healing a

  12. Fake News: Nursing Shortage Due to Covid

    cherylrenee replied to cherylrenee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I completely agree. A big sign on bonus is a red flag. Most nurses want respect, a voice in planning, and most definitely adequate resources. They don't want more

  13. Fake News: Nursing Shortage Due to Covid

    cherylrenee replied to cherylrenee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It is very unfortunate that so many nurses are leaving the profession or leaving for higher wages. Why can't hospital systems pay their own nurses the same salary as a contract nurse. Either way I...

    Good for you! You are very

  15. Give and Take: "The Equality of Increasing Healthcare Costs"

    cherylrenee replied to CDungey's topic in General Nursing

    C-Suite compensation has got to change. I believe non-profit status is only a way to pay less tax and increase profits. The worker, the system, and the patient do not benefit. Only certain...

  16. Florence Nightingale on Hospital Reform: Understanding Florence Then and Now

    cherylrenee replied to CDungey's topic in General Nursing

    Very well written. Hospital reform is critical for the future of nurses and

  17. Florence Nightingale and Environmental Theory

    cherylrenee replied to pattithenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Great story and beautifully written. I'm so impressed that a school system would make the changes you requested. I just recently read Nightingale's Notes on Nursing. It is so relevant even

  18. The Nightingale Solution

    cherylrenee posted a topic in General Nursing

    Florence Nightingale. The name is synonymous with nursing. She is the founder of modern nursing, a scientist, humanitarian, and above all, a patient advocate. She was certainly a woman who was way...
