Nurse Talk

Did you know nurses are on par with police officers and prison guards for the number of assaults against them while on the job? An alarming truth that most do not know. BUT..Nurses are working hard to prevent this by proposing legislation and changing public perception.

If you're a nurse the odds are high that you have been assaulted by a patient or a patients family member. Is this just part of a nurses job? What do you think?

Dr. Grace Dammann’s life was forever altered when a driver crashed head-on into her car on the Golden Gate Bridge. After a seven-week coma and numerous surgeries, Grace miraculously regained consciousness, with her cognitive abilities almost entirely intact, but her body left shattered and severely disabled. Directors Mark Lipman and Helen Cohen were granted unlimited access to Grace, her life partner and their adopted daughter allowing them to follow Grace as she struggles to reinvent herself and find meaning and purpose in her radically-altered post-accident life. Grace and her unusual support network must navigate a sea of personal and professional challenges, and she does it with – what else – grace. visit http://openstudioproductions.com/states-of-grace/

You can't start the year without taking a look at "Obamacare" and no one does that better than Donna Smith. And, there is not a more important topic related to health than "global warming" RN, Erin Carrera talks about her trip to Peru to attend the U.N. Summit on Global Warming. It's all REAL,this week on Nurse Talk.

"Today, I am on my way to Lima, Peru as part of a small delegation from National Nurses United going to participate in the United Nations Climate Change Summit 20th yearly Conference. Our delegation will share what I consider to be a big missing piece at the conference – the human health perspective. As nurses, we will highlight the fact that the climate crisis is a public health crisis." RN Erin Carrera writes on her blog.
