Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse, Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow:"The need for psychiatric mental health nursing has its roots near the end of the 19th century when it was believed that patients in mental hospitals should receive nursing care. Psychiatric mental health nursing has since come a long way, with psychiatric-mental health content incorporated into all diploma and baccalaureate nursing programs. As new needs for services developed in the health care arena, the role and function of the psychiatric-mental health nurse expanded, leading to advanced practice registered nurses in psychiatric-mental health nursing (APRN-PMH). Psychiatric-mental health nurses are a rich resource as providers of psychiatric-mental health services and patient care partners for the consumers of those services."

    Bykowski, David, Nurse Entrepreneur, Texas Nursing Entrepreneurs:"I have a great interest in holistic medicine I am questioned many times as to why I sell products My answer is simple to spread the holistic approach You may ask how selling products spreads the holistic approach Well I have found that I can preach holistic philosophy all day long and accomplish very little but if I can change a persons life via the use of a natural substance not only have I won them over but all the people they share their joy with. Thus I find selling products is more effective than merely preaching the benifits of holistic health."

    American Psychological Association, APA Help Center, Eating Disorders. What are the major kinds of eating disorders?:"There are three major types of eating disorders.

    • People with anorexia nervosa have a distorted body image that causes them to see themselves as overweight even when they're dangerously thin.
    • Individuals with bulimia nervosa eat excessive quantities of food, then purge their bodies of the food and calories they fear by using laxatives, enemas, or diuretics, vomiting and/or exercising.
    • Like people with bulimia, those with binge eating disorder experience frequent episodes of out-of-control eating. The difference is that binge eaters don't purge their bodies of excess calories".

    Two Thirds Of Psychiatric Hospitals Dump Patients For Economic Reasons:"Two-thirds (64.7 percent) of psychiatric hospitals providing inpatient mental health care in the United States are reported to dump patients for economic reasons, according to an article in the December issue of Health Services Research. Patient dumping is the practice by which hospitals transfer unprofitable patients, specifically those without insurance coverage, to public hospitals and community mental health centers (CMHCs) which are required by law to care for these patients after private financial resources have been exhausted. This is the first national analysis of the factors that promote or constrain economically motivated transfers of patients in relation to competitive pressures, hospital Ownership, and managed care practices."

    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."
