So my classmates and I were in class yesterday. The lecture topic was Nutrition for the Acute and Critically Ill patient. We as future nurse practitioners need to understand nutritional needs as well as calculate those needs on a per patient basis. That’s not what I’m blogging about though.
My classmates and I were curious. How many nurses out there have ‘initiated’ or managed a patient on tube feeds… and they DID NOT have some sort of diarrhea??
This is an awesome infograph that describes the numerous pathways one must follow to become a nurse and practice as an RN (and advanced practice nurse). A thank you to Nerdy Nurse for sharing this one.
If you’ve decided you want to be a nurse, or you want to further your nursing education, the infographic below does a great job of displaying the paths one can take in pursuit of their nursing dreams.
Today, we have some great news. Evernote Clearly, our browser extension that creates a beautiful online reading experience for blogs and articles, is now available for Firefox.
When you come to a site that you’d like to read, click the Clearly lamp icon in your browser bar. The page is transformed—all distractions are removed, leaving only the content you want to read. Then, once you’re done, click on Clearly again and you’re back on the regular article.
Imagine getting through an article without clicking on a bunch of links before reaching the end. Now you can, with Clearly.
Save it to Evernote If you don’t have time to finish the page you’re reading, click on the Evernote icon in the Clearly sidebar to save it into Evernote. In Preferences, you can also set a tag that will be associated with the pages you clip.
Multi-page clips If you click Clearly on an article that’s broken up across multiple pages, Clearly will put everything into a single, long page.
Themes Clearly arrives with three attractive built-in themes: Newsprint, Notable and Nightowl. If you’re a fan of customization, you can make your own by going into the Preferences.
Enjoy!
By removing distractions, Clearly makes reading online truly pleasurable. Enjoy.
Yeah, I dropped the ball. In fact I dropped the ball and jinxed myself. The last time I talked about Thank You Thursday was on Thanksgiving! I was proud that I had kept up with the idea and posted a thank you every week for almost 2 months.
Then I did my ‘thank you’s’ for Thanksgiving. That was my last blog post on Thank You Thursday.
I missed an entire week. I’d love to give some great excuse. Yeah, of course I’ve been busy. Yeah, work, school, clinicals are all bottle necking this past week and next. Finals next week, along with the wonderful procrastinating gene I have when it comes to holiday shopping.
So yeah. been busy. But, I still could have squeaked in a post.
Sorry folks. I am a ‘fly by the seat of my pants’ blogger. Always have been, always will be. I think I’ve made numerous attempts over the years to do a ‘scheduled’ post each week, or even each month. I do great coming out the gate, but then sooner or later I fail. It’s just the kind of blogger I am. I can’t schedule my posts. I’ve never thought of my blogging as structured like that.
Oh, don’t get me wrong! I’m still very Thankful each week. Damn Thankful! I just can’t seem to throw up a blog post each week enumerating them.
Your words, your dreams, and your thoughts have the power to create conditions in your life. What you speak about, you can bring about.
If you keep saying you can’t stand your job, you might lose your job.
If you keep saying you can’t stand your body, your body can become sick.
If you keep saying you can’t stand your car, your car could be stolen or just stop operating.
If you keep saying you’re always broke, guess what? You’ll always be broke.
If you keep saying you can’t trust a man or trust a woman, you will always find someone in your life to hurt and betray you.
If you keep saying you can’t find a job, you will remain unemployed.
If you keep saying you can’t find someone to love you or believe in you, our very thoughts will attract more experiences to confirm your beliefs.
Turn your thoughts and conversations around to be more positive and power packed with faith, hope, love and action. Don’t be afraid to believe that you can have what you want and deserve. Watch your “Thoughts,” they become words; Watch your “Words,” they become actions; Watch your “Actions,” they become habits; Watch your “Habits,” they become character; Watch your “Character”, for it becomes your “Destiny” So…….To prevent any obstacles……. GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! Enjoy every minute you live!!
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is get out of your own way. Life is not to be lived in a passive aggressive manner. Live it, love it, and earn it. You’ll be thankful you did.
