Perioperative nurse turned inventor. (nurse invents large suction cannister):"How many times have you seen a new product in the OR and thought, "Why didn't I think of that?" Or, worse yet, "That's my idea!" Where do most new Product ideas originate? They come from health care professionals working in the trenches and noticing that things could or should be done better or more efficiently. In 1993, I was the circulating nurse during an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedure when a clinical Practice problem set the stage for my invention of a product. I was busy hanging irrigation fluid, changing canisters, and doing paperwork when I had the brilliant idea of getting ahead of the action. I placed several 3-L bags of saline on the arthroscopic pump that was located close to my "desk."

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..."
