nursing shortage: Wot shortage?

Posted by caroldimon on December 4, 2013 at 2:25 PM Comments comments (0)

Is the nursing shortage falsified claims Williams 2013

So much truth in blogs; (restricted research and publications- we all know it);

There is no shortage of nurses in 2013. Nursing careers have changed over the years requiring less registered nurses. Health Care providers hire less Registered Nurses, but hire more anxillary staffing to complete what was once considered nursing duties. The nurse will usually be the one in charge of the assistants or anxillary staffing. Some state...

New World Order

Posted by caroldimon on December 4, 2013 at 1:10 PM Comments comments (0)

By Lenin Nightingale

In 1950s, governments signed  a contract to introduce the new world order; little spoken of in UK but more so in USA. To put it simply, this refers to al countries being run as if one country by an overuling American business.

This is why we have free movement of individuals between countries, driving down wages for example. Indeed, the EU is actually run by American businesses. Politicians in all countries will be merely managers/puppets - as some may cl...

Student nurse pilot

Posted by caroldimon on December 4, 2013 at 1:05 PM Comments comments (1)

The pilot England, for potential student nurses to work paid, for 1 year on a hospital ward, prior to training, has commenced. It involves 200 "students" in 6 health districts (HEE ). There are still many doubts raised about this, especially by the RCN . It does offer the potential however, to ensure people are prepared for the "real nursing". It may though, influence further developments on nurse education. Many countries seek an alternative to a full nursing degree in order to reduce costs....

Who dares writes--.

Anybody who has ever written or produced different ideas (eg Darwin) may be under attack by others.

Ammunition includes- you seek fame/self gain, we do not understand you, rubbish, you are unwell, you are an embarrassment to society.

If you are anon you are accused of hiding .All I have heard said about so many authors and researchers.

Yet some of those same people are prepared to cut and paste whilst blocking you; as illustrated well by  a historian colleague who has ...

just a plea from minnie mouse

Posted by caroldimon on November 20, 2013 at 1:50 PM Comments comments (0)

Tthe main problem in healthcare, not only UK, is nobody "listens to the voices"; the voices of ordinary patients, relatives, nurses, staff etc.

They listen to the major bodies with utlerior motives to protect the vision of healthcare.

A major theme in the book "the commodity of care" was normalizing devience" (one ref is Prielipp) p48

This process involves failuire to listen to alternative views. In care the norm may well be everybody to have a bath friday, lined up- no...

One issue - HEE to analyse nurse pre- reg education re old people. Also need address private sector and care homes. Do differ. Need case study approach eg what to do if as many dilemmas arise and staff unaware what to do.

Second issue all care assistants to have  a certificate. Depends on course content and who does training. Present skills for care inadequate and no actual specified time see

Govt inists NMC is independent of govt

Posted by caroldimon on November 18, 2013 at 3:15 AM Comments comments (0)

Govt they say, cannot be involved with NMC as NMC is "independent"

http://exposingfakenursingcertificates.webs.com/.

 

Yet Dh fund NMC for considerable amount  (clusty search engine). Does this not make the govt involved?  same could be said of the private/ charity  sector and other bodies. How odd- govt have made proposals for NMC re Francis report but ignore this issue.

To blog or not to blog--

Posted by caroldimon on November 10, 2013 at 1:35 PM Comments comments (1)

Stimulated by twitter debate, but we so knew it was coming--

Blogs are more valid than research which merely selects what people say to use towards confirming the results. Blogs say so much more; research topics are actually restricted. Hence delay in researching why poor care still exits until now- largely based on Mid Staffs evidence and work of Cure the NHS. What is published at all, is also restricted. Therefore comments that it has not been published in a "reputable journal, wr...

Huge cover-ups continue

Huge cover-ups in Nhs (this one FT) continue www.dailymail.co.uk/.../The-damning-dossier-chaos-surgery-shames-NHS.... (ack cure the NHS for posting ref). Cover-ups from top eg Govt level ,down. What of nurses who witnessed such practices, let alone Drs involved? GMC/NMC are supposed to be there "to protect the public"; they seem to do this by shielding them from the true picture of care ie by hiding examples of poor care. There remain major bodies in nursing who still insist on publiciis...

cannot get this right-- no hope--

Posted by caroldimon on November 9, 2013 at 11:20 AM Comments comments (0)

Chan (2013) uncle killes nephew age 3 for wetting bed. This says so much. If we cannot get this right in society, what hope is there for nursing? Yes we know there are other factors (not excuses) eg what is acceptable to some and not others, attitude etc. Many today are unable to accept "bed wetting" in care or whatever, from any age. Picture the old refined, lady called "dirty" for being incontinent. Yet these people are educated- they know the cause could be phsyiological or psychological e...
