Make
Us Laugh for Nurses Week and Win an
iPad 2!
Enter to Win, May 7-12
Laughter
really is the best medicine. In
celebration of Nurse's Week,
NurseZone.com wants your comedic work
stories. It could be your best
interview story, incident with a
patient (remember, no names or
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?

Do
you ever feel like a patient is
holding something back? That he or she
isn't telling you something that might
be important? Your instincts might be
correct, as it's fairly common for
patients to avoid speaking up about
some things that they are feeling or
experiencing.

patients safe is a high
priority, and with risks like
health care-associated
infections (HAIs), patient falls
and medication errors, nurses

Nearly
180,000 additional Medicare patients
would be alive today if all hospitals
had performed as well over a two-year
period as those on HealthGrades' list
of America's 50 and 100 Best
Hospitals, according to the
organization's estimates and their
extensive analysis of patient data.
And many of those top hospitals credit
their nursing staffs with helping them
achieve the best safety records and
high rankings.
