My Life as a Nurse-Researcher
Suzanne R. Allen, RN:"The beeper goes off, and I race to the ED of the local hospital about two miles away. There, a patient with acute myocardial infarction (MI) awaits, tubes sticking out of him, an ashen look on his frightened face.
Three hours earlier, while the patient was working in his yard, his chest had begun to ache. The aching soon developed into a crushing pressure. Summoning family members for help, he had them call 911 and was whisked to the emergency department. His ECG now shows more than 2 mm of elevation in the anterolateral leads. The order is given for a thrombolytic." http://nsweb.nursingspectrum.com/cfforms/GuestLecture/nurseresearcher.cfm
Foundation of Nursing Studies:"Foundation of Nursing Studies a UK-based charity whose sole purpose is to help nurses, midwives and health visitors improve patient care by encouraging them to use the most up-to-date methods. It is widely agreed that practice should always be based on evidence and research, but some findings never reach the patients who will most benefit. Nurses need to be able to respond to developments in their field and change their practice quickly and easily."

Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, General Clinical Research Center, Nursing Research Services:"The GCRC Nursing Staff is comprised of expert practitioners from various areas of nursing practice. Their backgrounds in general medical-surgical, intensive care, burn care, drug research, geriatrics, cardiology, and oncology serve as a foundation for implementation of quality clinical research protocols. Staff are certified in either Basic or Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Each GCRC protocol is assigned a Nurse coordinator who is responsible for moving the study from "paper to practice." This nurse develops the necessary study forms, plans for staff education and projects participant scheduling according to the study target dates and Investigator preference." http://www.jhbmc.jhu.edu/gcrc/nursing.html
Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS):"In 1975, a handful of nurses involved in a Department of Health and Human Services' research project -- the Nursing Faculty Research Development in the Midwest (NFRDM), planted the seeds that would grow into today's premier nursing research organization -- the Midwest Nursing Research Society (MNRS). Today, with more than 1,400 members, MNRS has moved to the forefront of promoting, disseminating and utilizing nursing research throughout the Midwest, profoundly influencing the enormous growth in quality and quantity of nursing research for more than 20 years."

Program for Research
in Military Nursing:
Progress and Future Direction, Committee on Military Nursing Research, Institute Of Medicine:"High-quality nursing care is essential to obtain favorable patient outcomes. Military nursing research has the capacity to prevent health problems, improve patient care, and contribute to appropriate and desirable outcomes that are cost-effective in many situations. In the last 45 years, considerable progress has been made in wide-ranging applications of research in military nursing. Unarguably, however, further evolution and programs of military nursing research will depend on enhanced scholarly inquiry by military nurses and on the dissemination and application of research results." http://search.nap.edu/html/nursing/
Southern Nursing Research Society:"Southern Nursing Research Society was founded in 1986 when sixty nurses met in Atlanta and debated the possibility of an organization for nursing researchers in the southern region. In 1987, SNRS was declared an independent organization. There are 14 states in the Society region: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. In 1991, the boundaries were expanded to include the Caribbean, Latin America and the Bahamas. In 1992 and 1993, several organizational procedures were streamlined and formalized, Society archives were established and strategic planning was initiated."

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."

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..." http://www.nursingadvocacy.org/
