Having problems with message search?
I’M
IN!!! I’m always looking for a way
to disseminate important information to my nurses. And knowing the little time they have to read
long articles, this would be perfect!!!

How do we teach complex concepts to busy nurses?
I think it is a wonderful idea. We will never know
unless we try. One page is workable for the developer; one page would be a
quick review/reference for the clinically active nurse. We need to make/find
time to read away from work. We have time for TV, checking emails, etc at home.
So finding a few minutes a day just to read to foster our profession is
reasonable. Again, we can lead a horse to water, but cannot make them drink.
But adding some color or flavor may be an enticement!!
I am on board; just keep me posted if this moves
forward.

I read a great article on Cardiomyopathy; it is really just a review
of the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology, but it is
comprehensive.
And I thought…"this would be a good article for many nurses to read,
but…"
Then I thought…"some nurses would have trouble understanding the
concepts and how to apply them at the bedside – and most nurses
wouldn't have the time to read it!"
So, I looked down at Shadow, our dog, and she looked back at me;
asking with her eyes "what do you want from me?" I explained the
situation to her but she was of little help. So, that`s why I am
turning to the group – how can we get good quality content to our
staff in a way that is fast and easy to access?
Take a look at the article, you can view it here:

What would you think of the idea of collaborativel! y devel oping
materials that could be shared via this group on the internet? Here
are my thoughts on the process:
1. Find good articles or materials
2. Enlist groups of interested individuals to condense materials
3. Prepare a "one-sheet" of the content that could be shared with
staff by printing, e-mailing or posting on the web.
We could pick the top 10 problems/content areas and develop one-
sheets for them. And since this would be a group collaborative
effort, everyone could use and disseminate the info. The individual
workload would be small, but the returns would be great! So, tell
me, who's on board?
