Nursing in the 21st Century.
December 26, 2009 by Janet7
Today, I’ll address getting your degree in nursing. Yes, nursing. As you may know, nursing is not just limited to women, anymore. Many men have chosen this field for it’s exciting nature. It is also, perhaps more importantly, poised for massive growth.
The job market for nurses has been growing since before 2000 and continues to grow to this day. The demand for nurses has never been higher.
With people living longer, the demand for all types of people in the nursing field continues to grow. The home health care field is expanding exponentially.
There are a multitude of different specialties in the nursing field, some requiring as little as 2 years of education to find yourself out there making a good living, helping people.
You could look at becoming a nursing assistant, or LPN.
You could think about getting your diploma in practical nursing.
Seemingly endless opportunities abound in the nursing field.
The desire to care for others is a noble one. Nursing is a noble profession. And it is an exciting one.
Nurses are always in need and the demand is expected to continue skyrocketing for trained, educated professionals.
The following information is according to a report prepared for the Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Bureau of Health Professions, Office of Workforce Evaluation and Quality Assurance by the Center for Health Workforce Distribution Studies, University of California, San Francisco
nursing schools
LPN educational requirements vary among the States and territories. Most States specify the content and number of hours of training, and some go into more detail than others. Most curricula teach similar rudimentary nursing skills, such as measuring vital signs, patient data collection, patient care and comfort measures, and oral medication administration. Most States have additional training requirements for more advanced skills, such as IV infusion, IV medication administration and phlebotomy. Even though requirements vary across States, states generally license LPNs that have been licensed in other States without further requirement.
The U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Outlook Handbook provides a broad description of LPN scope of practice: “Licensed practical nurses… care for the sick, injured, convalescent, and disabled under the direction of physicians and registered nurses” (US Department of Labor, 2002) . State regulations tend to be more specific about the role of LPNs; for example, the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT) States that the duties “include, but are not limited to, provision of basic hygienic and nursing care; measurement of vital signs; basic client assessment; documentation; performance of prescribed medical treatments; administration of prescribed medications; and, performance of non-medicated intravenous therapy and blood withdrawal (requires separate Board certification.)” (California Board of Licensed Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians, 2004)

I hear you. Ceridian (A.K.A. CobraServ) ripped over a thousand dollars off of me and it costed me close to another thousand dollars dealing with the legal and administrative costs of trying to rectify the situation. Ultimately I filed a lawsuit against them in court and as much of a bunch of idiots they are, I'm contemplating that whoever the attorney is that will represent them will fail to show up in the right courtroom on the day of the trial. They ought to be shut down by the U.S. Department of Labor for good. You ought to see their Better Business Bureau reliability report. I'm surprised they've lasted as long as they have, considering that they're not far off from becoming another Enron.
The article on Mark Dankof is great, but I wanted to say that the references to MIss Shirin Neshat of Sarbazan and Janbakhtegan were especially meaningful, since I recently came across the tragic story of her father, General Ali Neshat of the Shah's Imperial Guard, in the new book of Gholam Reza Afkhami, entitled “The Life and Times of the Shah” (University of California Press/Berkeley). General Neshat's passing is mentioned on page 551. I have since learned more by browsing Ms. Neshat's own site at http://www.sarbazan.com. Reading about the political comeback she and other Iranian patriots are making in recent times truly reminds me that there is eventually justice for all, if we wait on God and history.
Someone asked if I am a model. Yes, I am a model – role model. From what agency? University of California at Berkeley.

Exclusive: ACORN Qualifies for Funding in Senate Health Care Bill
Senator Roland Burris is claiming credit for a provision in Harry Reid's “manager's amendment,” unveiled Saturday morning, that could funnel money to ACORN through the health care bill.
On December 9, Burris, an Illinois Democrat, pledged that he would filibuster a health care bill without a public option. [...]
The provision he cites, found on pages 240 through 248 of the manager's amendment, requires that six different agencies each establish an “Office of Minority Health.” The agencies are the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Health Resources and Services Administration, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.” [...]
According to a Senate legislative aide, the scandal-plagued Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now could qualify for grants under this provision. ACORN would also qualify for funding on page 150 of the underlying Reid bill, which says that “community and consumer-focused nonprofit groups” may receive grants to “conduct public education activities to raise awareness of the availability of qualified health plans.”

the lies just keep on rolling in:
Here is the notice that recently appeared on the website of the U.S. Department of Labor:
NOTE:… Accordingly, OLMS will refrain from initiating enforcement actions against union officers and union employees based solely on the failure to file the report required by section 202 of the Labor-Management and Reporting Disclosure Act (LMRDA), 29 U.S.C. § 432, using the 2007 form, as long as individuals meet their statutorily-required filing obligation in some manner. OLMS will accept either the old Form LM-30 or the new one for purposes of this non-enforcement policy.
Solis’s office is claiming that the previous LM2 form was just too hard on those innocent, kindly union thugs and criminals, so she’s decided to just forget the whole thing. Capone’s Chicago couldn’t have had better friends in high places.
