Bed Positioning and Bed Mobility:"This video demonstrates methods in bed positioning and bed mobility which provide a good basis for rehabilitation and increased potential for future functional gains. These specific "how to's" can make early management of the stroke patient much easier, less of a struggle and, at the same time, more therapeutic. It will help you to save your back and their shoulders.
Skin breakdown and other painful conditions can be prevented if the techniques are followed closely." http://www.strokehelp.com/bed_positioning_and_bed_mobility_c.htm
Caring for Aggressive Older Adults Across Levels of Care:"Aggressive behavior can be the most troubling - and possibly the least understood - of all behavioral problems confronted by those who work with older adults. This unique documentary presents a remarkable series of real-life situations in which healthcare providers must cope with behaviorally impaired or aggressive elders." http://www.fanlight.com/catalog/films/281_cac.shtml
Caring at the End of Life:"Central to this provocative documentary is the case of a comatose patient, whose family and healthcare team are in conflict over how long to continue with the treatments which are keeping him alive. In making decisions about his care, they confront disturbing ethical questions about patient autonomy vs. the needs of the family, about who is in a position to judge what another person would want, about the role and impact of faith, and about the certainty or fallibility of medical judgement." http://www.fanlight.com/catalog/films/328_cateol.shtml
Code Gray:
Ethical Dilemmas in Nursing:"This multi-award winning program documents four situations where nurses must balance the often contradictory views of patients, family members, and other staff about what is best for their patients. It offers no easy answers, but will trigger discussion about the realities of nursing in a technologically complex world." http://www.fanlight.com/catalog/films/004_cg.shtml
How to Promote Patient Satisfaction, Nursingvideos.com:"This video shows nurses how to promote patient satisfaction and positively influence patients’ memorable impressions of their hospital experience.

Preventing Shoulder Pain, Stroke Education Video Series for Therapists:"This video demonstrates a program of very simple, but important steps, to prevent shoulder pain. Shoulder pain interferes with the entire rehabilitation program. A stroke survivor with a painful shoulder doesn't want to get out of bed, get dressed, walk and even sleeping is very difficult. Most painful shoulders can been prevented, if those caring for the patient are better informed and better trained." http://www.strokehelp.com/preventing_shoulder_pain_c.htm
Self Care, Stroke Education Video Series for Therapists:"This video clearly demonstrates activities of daily living (dressing, grooming and hygiene) with stroke survivors. The therapeutic qualities inherent in self care skills make them a perfect choice for improving and documenting functional gains. For the greatest improvement it's not just a matter of if they can do the task, but how do they do it. Also included are common problems seen in hemiplegia and how to correct them." http://www.strokehelp.com/self_care_c.htm
Standing Safely, Stroke Education Video Series for Therapists:"It is important that stroke patients learn to stand. This videotape demonstrates in a step-by-step instructional approach how to make it easier for you and safer for the patient. Standing is necessary to do many functional tasks in a 'normal' way (shaving, brushing teeth, pulling up pants, working at the kitchen counter) while, at the same time gaining numerous therapeutic benefits." http://www.strokehelp.com/standing_safely_c.htm
Stroke Education Video Series for Therapists:"The only comprehensive distance learning program of its kind for stroke management! An excellent resource for physical therapists, occupational therapists and nurses. This easy to use series of 6 individual videotapes demonstrate practical treatment ideas which can be immediately used in acute hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing and home health."

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/
