Do you carry a personal malpractice insurance policy why or why not: No. No particular reason. The more money that is available the more money you could be sued for
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Nursing has traditionally been too task-oriented. When nursing academia introduced the nursing process to facilitate reason and order in our nursing care we proceeded to view it as more paper and responded by making it into check lists and multiple choice or short answer events. We missed the point. Now as a result of this task-orientation and with the advent of managed care and all that THAT implies we find our tasks being performed by a host of technicians and others who learn how to do tasks not when and why. I think nursing missed its golden opportunity to be professionals when it rejected reason for instruction education for training. Also see last weeks New York Times article on errors and personal liability. If nurses cant see themselves as part of a broad system then they end up worse than proverbial cogs in a wheel they end up as cogs without a wheel in which to function efficiently. I see these two phenomena as part of the same issue.
What attracted you to the field of Nursing: I thought it would be an exciting place to use my intellect.

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."

Nursing In The Media, Nursingadvocacy.org

• ER:"Media products under your influence, particularly the NBC/Warner drama "ER," are harming the profession of 2.7 million American nurses by giving the public an inaccurate and inadequate account of what nurses really do to save and improve lives. Research suggests that "ER" strongly and negatively influences the way children view nursing. These products contribute to the nursing shortage, a public health crisis that threatens millions worldwide."

• NBC's "Passions":"NBC's "Passions" solves nursing shortage: monkeys can do the job! Starting in March 2003 and at least as recently as late August, NBC's campy, supernatural daytime soap opera "Passions" has featured an orangutan named Precious in the role of the private duty nurse of one of its characters--a bold step backwards in the already slow...evolution...of the media's treatment of nurses. more..."

• "Scrubs" defines nursing:""Scrubs" defines nursing: it's all about shutting up and following physician "orders. " Tonight's episode of NBC's "Scrubs," which purports to teach nurse Carla Espinosa that nursing is all about doing what physicians tell you, is one of the most virulently anti-nurse prime time television episodes the Center has ever seen. more..."
