From Pixel RN:

Here’s an actual exchange that took place where I work:

Doctor: (not addressing anyone specific) We’re going to need an echo for this patient.

Nurse: (who is prepping the patient for a procedure, and the only other person in the room): Okay, I’ll call for one.

A few seconds later the doctor turns around and says to the same nurse, “Oh, hi. Are you here to do the echo?”

  I love it! Needed a good laugh today.

I caught a bit of "Hopkins" last week on ABC. Making a point to catch it since I love that stuff, but was bored in no time when it was 'Docs 24/7'. I'd love to see a nurse-centric show and Beth would be a great one to follow in spite of saying it would be boring.

For quite some time I have been thinking about leaving my current job in Case Management and returning to clinical nursing.   I've been scared thinking that I've been out of clinical nursing for 3 years.   I became a nurse 10 years ago...worked for year or so on Med surg and I have done home care and now CM.   I did this for the kids and no weekends or holidays which has been great!!   I miss the feeling of being a nurse now...I've had this separation from nursing although working in the hospital surrounded by nurses and watching nursing from the outside in.   At first I thought NO WAY would I go back to the floor...they are worked to exhaustion and the stress is high...and I felt bad for the Nurses...slowly though the things that drew me to Nursing in the first place started coming to the surface.   The admiration I have for nurses and all that they do and how knowledgeable they are is deep.    One day I said to myself...You're either going to be a Nurse or not...what is it??   Once I made the decision to "Go Clinical"  I was SO energized I cannot explain it.   I have been reading and refreshing math skills etc. and actually into looking things up and trying to refresh myself.   So this blog will be a record of my return from interview and orientation until I feel I am a Nurse again.   I don't know why I'm doing this, but maybe other people are going through this same thing...I will try to keep this blog up and not get lazy with it! 

Being a nurse, I have ample opportunity to touch people who are in desperate need of healing. The question often arises of ethics--is it ethical to use energy healing on a person who may, for religious or other reasons, prefer not to use it. And is it ethical to use it without telling?

The scope of Nursing practice as defined in the Nurse Practice Act does not include any type of metaphysical healing. The Holistic Nurse's Association does accept energy healing as a complementary modality, but again, it is not within the standards of practice.

So how do I get around all that legal stuff and actually DO what I am required by my guides, goddess, and higher self?

Well, I figured it this way: I ask my guides/higher self to turn on the reiki whenever and whereever it will do most good. And I asked that it flow if it is accepted by the other person's higher self. That way, its all on a spiritual level. What happens is that sometimes my hands get warm and I feel the energy flow, and other times they won't get warm even if I concentrate and try it. So that is my verification. I am just the channel after all, and blessed and grateful to be so. The energy goes where it will, without my input or judgement. Its not mine to give anyway, its Universal and belongs to one and all. And it goes where its most needed. Which means a person who is vomiting but also has emotional issues may get the emotions dealt with and keep vomiting because the emotions are more in need of healing. Or not. Its not my call.

Occasionally a patient will say something like "Wow, your hands are hot!" and I will offer to move them or put on gloves or something. Usually I just say "Yeah, they get that way sometimes" Every patient says "no, it feels so good!" Often times they will open up to me, or share fears/feelings, and there will be a deeper connection and a better ability for me to help them in some way.

I use reiki other ways as well. It tend to be rather purging when there is an actual physical ailment being helped. Example is a worsening of a cold, because the reiki helps clear the toxins and the symptoms are really those of the body fighting the virus. It especially does that with stomach issues. You get a 'cleansing effect' which makes you feel better in the long run, but maybe a bit worse in the short term.

I reiki my garden all the time when I am working in it. Since I started doing that, I have noticed an increase in the blooms on my plants, and the foliage is healthier. I reiki'd my neighbor's garden a few times as well, and she told me that she has seen more health in her plants since then. I reiki'd the tulip bulbs I planted last fall and got some stunning blooms this year!

My friend's baby was crying inconsolably. I reiki'd her and she stopped crying and became very relaxed and peaceful. Thinking a coincidence, I did this more than once, and each time the same result was achieved.

I reiki'd my gold fish when they were not doing well and they got better. The same with my dogs/cats. When one of my beloved cats was dying, I used reiki all the time to ease his symptoms and help him feel better. I knew that the only cure for him was to go on to the great beyond, so I knew that I would not heal him. But I did help him feel better.

My husband's cancer remission is definitely due to the drugs he takes but I think there is a lot of influence of reiki on him as well.

And on that note, it must be stated that reiki or any type of energy healing must NEVER replace conventional medical treatment. It is complementary but we are gifted with the talented doctors and researchers who bring us our cures and medications...we are meant to use conventional medication as well as alternative routes.

The College of Nursing says that the Federal Health Minister, Nicola Roxon, is in a better position than any of her predecessors to take on health reform in Australia, Tracey Osmond, Chief Executive, said. "Australia's health workforce has never been as skilled as it is today," said Osmond.

A study released today by the Washington D.C.-based National Association for Home Care and Hospice shows that the nurses, therapists, home care aides and others who serve elderly and disabled patients in their homes drive, on average, more miles annually than many driving professionals including UPS drivers.

Rush University College of Nursing has implemented a new master's degree program, the Generalist Entry Master's in Nursing or GEM program.
