Couple of ideas to revisit...

Nursing Revolution

When will nurses care about their own practice?

And get involved?

I did this blog 3 years ago and got NO response, so I seldom kept up with it, let's see if facebook or twitter help. One thing about the internet it stays around a very long time.

Nurses need to determine how and where their practice goes and how it develops for their own autonomy. Staff nurses should be the ones to decide what is safe for staffing practices. They are the ones at the bedside, they know what patients require and demand. Bedside nurses should be the ultimate in the decision making process for staffing, equipment and other such patient needs.

Here's a question:

How many nurses believe that point-of-care testing should benefit the staff that draws the blood, runs the tests and trouble-shoots the machinery???

I vote for Nursing Revenue from POC testing.
