| Who Takes Care of the Nurses? |
| Wednesday, January 30, 2008 |
| |
| It’s one of those days – you’re not feeling well, but you’re not deathly ill. If you have to, you can make it out of bed and in to work. But you really don’t want to because you know that if you were to sleep as much as you can today and really take care of yourself, you’ll be better. |

| Have “Mr.” and “Mrs.” gone out of style? Are they gone the way of the dinosaur? Does no-one use them anymore? |

| The TV Nurse |

| Does watching a television show, like House, dive you mad? Does the portrayal of nurses on soap operas may you want to scream? Is media an enemy of the nursing profession? |

| You Could Have Been a Doctor |
| Tuesday, January 29, 2008 |
| |
| How many nurses have heard “You could/should have been a doctor” from someone? It could have been said by a well-meaning family member or a grateful patient, but no matter where it comes from, the meaning is the same: You could have done better. |

| The Foundation of Nursing Hasn't Really Changed |
| Tuesday, January 22, 2008 |
| |
| A new year usually brings reflections of the years past and questions about the year(s) to come.
At the pace of change in healthcare, it’s not hard to see the many transformations that have occurred over the past few decades. Nurses in developed countries are often performing tasks that once were the domain of physicians, and nurses are working with equipment that seemed to be the stuff of science fiction not all that long ago.
