Aug 21, Thinking Green About Cosmetics

Sat, 21 Aug 2010 14:03:32 GMT

I never used to give it much thought, except when it came down to medication administration. People absorb all kinds of things through their skin. As nurses we are familiar with being able to deliver meds via patches placed on the patients skin. All for the better right? But in the media lately is a lot of interest in the toxins people are absorbing through their skin. Toxins form skin care products! Even baby products! So do we have to stand by and watch as people slowly make themselves sick? Shouldn't we as nurses take a more pro-active stance on such issues? I have...care to join me?

Feb 14, Nursing Leadership Theories

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 15:43:45 GMT

I have been wondering if there have been any new nursing theories developed lately. Changes within health care have been happening rapidly and the nursing shortage (as well as Physician shortages) continues to plague many countries. The link will take you to a paper written about some new theories for nursing leadership. Yet even these are nearly ten years old. It is perhaps time to develop or adapt new ones for the ever changing roles of today's nurses.
