Don't you people get it?
5.21.2005
Some people just don't get it. I mean taking care of yourself should be a given, but most people don't (myself included for the most part.) But hey, I look at it as job security. The worse shape people are in, the better my propects as a nurse are going to be. It's just a sad fact of life.
In relation to that check these stories out:
Type II diabetics refusing to take insulin, even the newer inhaled variety.
Noncompliance of Type II diabetics getting worse. Scary statistics in this one.
After taking a full day of computer training for my internship, this one caught my eye. Like it or not, electronic documentation is the charting of the future. And the message from consultants, doctors and it seems like everyone elese is: don't worry about the standards, just do it!
See you next week!
