International Child Health Nursing Alliance: The International Child Health Nursing Alliance is a recently established network of nurses and associated health professionals, connected by the Internet, who care for children and their families around the world. The ICHNA was newly formed at the Child Health 2000 Congress and Exposition in Vancouver, British Columbia in May-June 1995 as an associated organization of pediatric nurses and child health professionals allied to Global Child Health Society . At that time, a group of child health nursing leaders from around the world developed a report with organizational goals to form an alliance of individuals and groups to foster a child-friendly world and improve the health and happiness of children.

Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB):"The Pediatric Nursing Certification Board (PNCB) is a nonprofit organization established in 1975 for the purpose of fostering the delivery of quality health care to children and their families through provision of certification exams and continuing education certification maintenance programs that validate mastery of specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities in pediatric nursing practice.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration, pediatricians, pediatric nurse and pediatric nurse practitioner educators and clinicians design and evaluate the unique certification and maintenance activities of the PNCB. The Board of Directors of the PNCB appoints pediatric nurse practitioners, pediatric nurses, pediatricians and educators known for their knowledge, expertise and skill in pediatric health care to serve on the various exam committees of the PNCB. The National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) has granted recognition of the validity of the PNCB and its certification process through national NCCA accreditation."

Parents in the Operating Room, Department of Anesthesia - Children's Hospital, Boston:"At Children's Hospital, Boston, we allow a parent to be present at the start of anesthesia when the anesthesiologist considers it to be beneficial for the child. This is called a Parent Present Induction (PPI). A formal program in existence since 1989, PPI helps prepare a parent who accompanies her child during the start of anesthesia."

Pediatric Shock:
Shock in Children, The Pediatric Bulletin:"To understand the process of shock in children, we must understand the basics of cardiovascular physiology. There are certain values which need be understood. The cardiac output (CO) is the volume of blood leaving the heart each minute. The stroke volume (SV) is the amount of blood ejected with each beat. By definition, the value of the cardiac output is equal to the stroke volume multiplied by the heart rate (HR). In the majority of patients, if the heart rate falls, the stroke volume will increase to maintain the cardiac output. In certain examples, however, the muscle of the ventricles is noncompliant and the stroke volume is unable to change, causing the cardiac output to fall when the heart rate falls. These examples include multiple myocardial infarctions, chronic cardiomyopathies in neonates. Therefore, neonates cannot tolerate bradycardia (a slowing of the heart rate) since it results in a precipitous fall in CO."

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."

Nursing In The Media, truthaboutnursing.org
- 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."
http://www.truthaboutnursing.org/letters/er/
- House, MD:"The main patient in tonight's episode of Fox's House was a nurse who believed that a cat tended to sit with those who were about to die--including, recently, the nurse herself. That may not sound like a promising vehicle for House to improve its abysmal portrayal of nursing. But the show actually presents the nurse as someone with health knowledge. And her search for meaning in faith, for some reason in tragic events, is a real counterpoint to House's cold rationality. Indeed, despite the obvious potential for mockery in the cat angle, the mighty House treats the nurse with considerable respect--he seems to care what she thinks, or at least to find her views unnerving. Of course, the nurse plays no real clinical role in the episode, and no other nurses do either. So the episode suggests, as usual, that physicians provide all important care in hospital settings, including all meaningful psychosocial and physical care. Still, any suggestion that intelligent life resides in a nurse is a welcome departure for House (and for the episode's writer Peter Blake, who also penned a November 2005 House episode that was notable for its physician glorification and its casual contempt for other health professions). Tonight's episode, "Here Kitty," drew 13.1 million U.S. viewers. more... see the relevant film clips... and please join our letter writing campaign!"

- Private Practice:"ABC's Private Practice, whose season ends tomorrow, April 30, may be the only broadcast network show with a major nurse character to return next season. In the February 5 episode (Mike Ostrowski's "Acceptance," 13 million U.S. viewers), lone nurse character Dell Parker, who is studying to be a midwife, shows some tentative clinical aptitude and knowledge to go with his boyish eagerness. Under the close supervision of OB/GYN Addison Montgomery, Dell ably performs a vacuum-assisted delivery. Later he haltingly guides the baby's parents toward breastfeeding. Dell also performs an assured solo ultrasound of pregnant psychiatrist Violet Turner, calming her panic attack and eliciting her agreement to his own suggestion that, though he's "not a doctor," he will likely become a "pretty good midwife." The show still condescends to Dell, who is also the office manager/receptionist at the LA clinic where the show is set. In the March 26 episode (Craig Turk's "Do the Right Thing," 10.1 million U.S. viewers),"

"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..."
