Although
the 1970s may sound like ancient history to
today's younger workforce, it is still fairly
recent for the nursing profession itself,
which has been in existence in the United
States since the Civil War. But it was in the
1970s when something significant occurred to
raise public awareness of the nursing
profession. Now, nearly four decades later, we
can see how far nursing has come, and how it
continues to evolve and grow.

of watching physicians start IVs on
House?
How about "naughty nurses" cheering a
basketball team on national
television? Now's the time for nurses
to step forward and let the world know
about the profession. That's the
message coming from the UCLA School of
Nursing's symposium "Nurses and the
Media: A Call to Action."

confidential details), funny
nurse-doctor or nurse-administrator
story, cafeteria food (try not to make
it too vile), what a patient said
under anesthesia that had you all
cracking up, or the funny comments
that come out of children. We'd also
like to hear your top tips to keep
people at your facility laughing. What
do you do to spread humor in your day?

It's
mid-afternoon, and your energy is
waning. You're sleepy and a little
cranky, so you pour yourself another
cup of coffee to propel you through
the rest of your shift. How many cups
have you already had? You're trying
not to think about that.

main desire is to help their
patients. Sometimes, though,
they're missing just the right
tool to help them do that. Here,
two nurses discuss how they
turned inspiration into
innovation to invent the missing
piece to perfect their patient
care, followed by advice on how
other nurses can turn their
ideas into reality.
