NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

There is something in this if somebody cares to use it.

The University of life? Who needs education?

Whilst it most likely is that similar was said by people many year earlier most of these people hade never read any of their work;

Who says censorship does not exist?

Somebody who prefers to hide has objected to the website nursebloginternational.wordpress.com. Nor was any reason given for blocking this important work. I will add articles here for now but the other was  a far clearer site.

Not quite sure where to put this. Written 20years plus ago. Some may get the drift--

THE COMMITTEE

It is proposed

Said Mr Jones

An old adage in nursing is "p[ain is what the patients says it is". Many declare there is no need for anybody to be in pain today due to the many therapies and medications available. Yet still some patients remain in pain;

Scenario 1- Mr smith in hospital asks for his prescribed analgesics from the nurse. The nurse refuses to give it--

2 A patient in the community rings the GP for stronger pain relief or ANY pain relief to be told to wait 48hrs for  a prescription--

3 S...

I know this has been said before- TV/newspapers/research.

If Mrs Bloggs on your street needed help-how many would offer?

Would it be  a case of  -

Why should I?

I am too busy with work?

She has  a family?

What reward do I get?

Plus Mrs jones may refuse help as she worries you seek something in return or is ashamed.. What  a sorry merry-  go-  round.

The same could be said of the person living on thye street p...

Adding updates to qualityofnursingcare.webs.com/updates is an enormous task.

Despite searching several search engines besides google there are particulalrly no examples of good or bad nursing care from some countries more than others. We found one from China--.

Whilst believing this to be censorship (we hope we are wrong), we would like people to search and send us the links please. This work is becoming "The People's Voice" and it so needs to be. Of course we do not usually sea...

Hooray people cheer- we finally have some sort of set staff level for acute NHS hospital wards. Hang on- could it be  a con??

Acute ward needs 1 to 8 nurses, only has 2 on a shift- will they remove one fro another seting eg continuing care? Will the most vulnerable patients again face less staff and less consideration?

3 nurses to 24 patients- will HCA number be reduced ?

Shortage of nurses many argue, despite 2 thirds of newly qualified nurses not getting  a job, ...

Writing "The commodity of care" was  a bit like knitting  a jumper, or was I unravelling it? I may have dropped  a few stitches on the way !

Why do I say this? The work began by exploring patient care- largely at the bedside,  and resulted in a far bigger picture extending to the treatment of war veterans or stolen body parts. All political. Commencing gathering literature 30 years ago, and talking to staff of all levels and other individuals, I find that many are aw...

At risk of sounding like I am moaning, this is written for would - be authors and also readers.

Writing a book alone is no easy task - undertaking the research and with nobody to check errors .

Yet, what does published work offer us? - regardless of who has written or published it. Does it offer new knowledge? Inaccessible information? Fuel to they who wish to challenge the system? Mere enjoyment and delight for they who read?

Why does writing promote disda...

As so often evidenced, poor care has existed for years in all countries- and always will do.

Campaigners need to be clear of their aim- is it on behalf of the patient- to reduce poor care? Or is it to gain more staff? Largley, it suits the RCN to argue that the cause is low staffing and that only good care should be spoken of.  This may well suport many nurses and the profession, but fail to support they who dare to raise issues and have done for so many years.

Many years ago...
