Go to Dr. Oz site and Beyond Diet for both. The first question in my mind is to ask the client to keep a food diary. Find out what is acceptable to them both financial and esotheric. I have been trying myself to eat nonprocessed foods, growing my own food and canning, and we may even get some chickens and turkeys. There is evidence out there. Take an ecology course or even watch Food INC movie. I know that since swichting to a diet with more fruits and vegies and whole grain sprout bread, I am not bloated and droping pounds. With any patient education, I feel you have to find out their info first and then help them to find what will work for them.

I was a patient recently, and I now realize how expensive a prodcedure can be. I also realize as a nurse how much we get paid. It really seems complicated when you look at all the costs in running a hospital. Are there really deficets? I know health insurance is a slow death to a lot of industries. So are hospitals like some other corporations, big salarys on top and to home office?

I too was let go and started doing agency nursing. Pick my days and times. now looking into other nursing jobs not at the bedside. There are other area we can work in. Office jobs are hard to find unless you are a NP or LPN. The money thing again. Good luck.

I was ready to quit nursing and go back to school to get different training. My physical and mental health was deteriorating, and I was crying all the time. I have been in nursing since 1966, and loved it until the last 6 years. Maybe I'm getting to old (64) and just burned out, but I love working with patients and helping them understand their part in their health care. Then my wonderful daughter, who knows me better than anyone, suggested a site for different careers in nursing. Yeah! Didn't know about Wellness and Health Coaching. Now starting on learning about this new area and hope it will pan out. I have been an agency nurse the last six years, and from my limited perspective feel the bigger the hospital the worse the care and all employees are expendable, just robots. Is anybody listening to us?
