Banner Health

REGARDING THE AMANDA TRUJILLO DISCUSSION
Banner Health does not publically discuss employee matters. On the issue of advocacy, we believe the recent recognition of Banner Health by Thomson Reuters as a Top Five large health system in the nation for clinical excellence is a clear reflection of patient-centered advocacy as practiced by dedicated physicians, nurses and other caregivers throughout Banner facilities on a patient-by-patient basis . Further, Banner Health Facebook pages are intended to provide consumers helpful information for their health and about Banner Health services and programs. We will exercise our right to delete information that does not meet these intentions.

Lindsay Novacek I, personally, think that the knowledge that a nurse was fired for doing the best thing for her patient is extremely helpful information. I know this comment will be deleted. I will advise my friends and family NOT to use Banner del Webb, for any purpose, ever.

Michael Pergrem Agreed Lindsay!

Darin Mowery I am sure there is more to the story...there usually is.

Collin Gabriel Delete what you will but this will be a PR nightmare for you unless you become a model of how to treat your caregivers versus crippling them financially. You should be celebrating nurses like this. My extended family lives in Arizona and you can rest assured they will hear of this from me and avoid your hospital. I have seen many organizations try to manage situations like this and it only gets worse, especially for the culture within your hospital, so, accolades or no, this is a truly shameful way to treat your employees.

Elizabeth Meader Krouse Bully doctors and employers cannot and will not be tolerated any more without being exposed to the light of day. Banner del Webb is under the scrutiny of many nurses now and NURSES STAND UNITED in the issue of Amanda Trujillo. Deleting our posts doesn't change the truth of the matter in any way.

Kim McAllister The comment above is appreciated, as is the intent of the Banner Health Facebook page. The firing of Amanda Trujillo, however, is appalling. Indeed, this is now a PR nightmare for Banner Health (who is now following me on Twitter!!!) I understand this comment will be removed, as this is not the venue. But our blogs, Twitter and our own FB pages ARE the venue, and you are welcome to comment there. My blog is www.emergiblog.com. Patient advocacy is not a punishable crime, nurses are tired of being treated like disposable trash and we WILL stand behind our colleague - nationwide. I will be blogging on this DAILY until it is resolved. Thank you.

The Case For Amanda Trujillo: The Amanda Within Nurses #nurseup #nursefriendly #healthcare

2012-01-27T14:34:00.001-08:00

Have any of you been following the story of Amanda Trujillo? Amanda is an AMAZING nurse who is an excellent example as a patient advocate and as a result, lost her job. You can actually read her story here with Vernon Dutton, a fellow nurse advocate. I met Amanda several months ago through social media. As I put up the page on Facebook that represents Nurses On The Edge, Amanda became a fan and we engaged in an awesme discussion about nurses experiencing stress and burnout. She didn’t disclose her entire story at that time to me. We found, however, that we really “got” each other. We experienced a real connection as we shared our hearts and knew we wanted to help other nurses experiencing stress due to corporate pressure, physician’s verbal abuse, and even peer-to-peer bullying.

After our conversation, I began to read about the struggles Amanda experienced as a direct result of being a patient advocate. These words from Amanda caused me to remember a situation many years ago. “Nurses are afraid to speak up when they see unsafe or unethical practice taking place with their patients’ lives”. I remember several years ago as an Intensive Care Nurse, we got a call from surgery. There was a man “coding” in surgery, and you know, there is always so much investigation when someone dies in surgery. So, the physician wanted the patient up in the ICU and out of the surgical suite. It seems the patient was having a “simple” surgical operation and the surgeon “nicked” the portal vein. This particular patient began to bleed uncontrollably and it could not be repaired or stopped. Due to the high blood loss, the patient developed DIC. (Disseminated intravascular coagulation) This is true. The patient did develop DIC. However the family was told by the surgeon that the patient started bleeding in surgery and developed this disorder. What the physician DID NOT disclose was that he had cut the portal vein so severely that he could not get it repaired in order to stop the bleeding. The patient came to our unit and it wasn’t long before he succumbed to this tragic ending to a simple surgery. I took the patient’s family contact number and for the longest time wanted to make an anonymous phone call and tell them to get an autopsy. Why didn’t I follow through? I regret that now.

Brelaxed Stress Consultancy By Michelle Pearson, RN:"My name is Michelle Pearson; I live in North Lincolnshire in the UK with my husband and four cats! In 1995, I qualified and became a Registed Nurse of the UKCC (United Kingdom Central Council); this has now changed and is presently called The Nursing and Midwifery Council. This is the governing body for nurses. I am a registered nurse on part 12 of the register - my speciality being the medical / nursing care of adults. Before qualifying, I was the Student Union President and within that role, I organised and chaired a conference on the 'Future of Nursing'. Since qualifying, I worked on an acute medical ward as a staff nurse, where I was a Named Nurse and Mentor for student nurses. I wrote information packages for students and staff as well as providing teaching sessions for students. I developed an interest in wound care and stress management. I was part of two research articles, one on stroke management care, and one for wound care. The work initiated with my stroke care package has led to a change in the clinical care of stroke patients. I also started to research if there was a need or requirement for a stress management facility. This was to be for all levels of staff, across all departments including students. The ultimate aim was to reduce sick leave, have a happy work environment, and a continued improvement/conversation between all levels of staff. Furthermore, I was looking to see if having a stress management professional with coping skill advice would be beneficial."

Concerning Amanda Trujillo, RN, Letter To Arizona State Board of Nursing, by Anna Morrison, BA, BSN, RN, CLNC, @icoachnurses #nursefriendly

To whom it may concern,
In the case of Amanda Trujillo, RN, a profoundly negative and chilling precedent threatens to silence nurses in their efforts to uphold their solemn oaths to protect, educate and advocate for their patients.
Additionally, a patient's Right to Know and Right to Self-Determination are directly in jeopardy.
National Nursing groups, Patients' Rights Advocacy groups, and the media have been put on alert and are watching this case carefully, hoping that the AZ BON makes the right choice to support the education and interventional activities of a nurse, who discovered a severe knowledge deficit in her patient and operated within her scope to rectify it.
It would be a shameful to set a precedent that re-defines our profession and the collaborative health care model that we thought we operated in for the good of our patients.
I respectfully request that you consider dropping the complaint filed against Amanda Trujillo's license and the case against her.
Best regards,
Anna Morrison, BA, BSN, RN, CLNC

Arizona Nurse Has License Threatened By Doctor After Providing Patient Education

January 22, 2012 By The Nerdy Nurse 39 Comments

inShare46

There are times in my nursing career when I am so very proud of how far we have come in advancing our profession. Unfortunately, there are also times where I am reminded that this is still very much an uphill climb we must make in order to legitimately participate in truly collaborative healthcare. Today is one of those days in which I am reminded we still have battles to win.

The following blog post is related to an email that was originally sent to @EchoHeronAuthor. It was then posted on Vernon Dutton’s Posterous, Amanda Trujillo case will go before the Arizona State Board of Nursing on January 24th, 2012.

Her story is one of an archaic medical model in which the doctor’s word is supreme and we are all just nurse maids here to do their bidding. This is an indication that there are many who do not wish to continue to advance toward collaborative healthcare in which we work as a team to provide patients with the best care possible. This is also an example of persons who may not be in medicine for the right reasons.

Success in healthcare is not defined by how many treatments and tests you can perform on a patient. Success is defined by the ability to help a patient make informed decisions on their path in health an life. If that path includes surgery, then so be it. If that path does not, and we have informed the patient of all the options and they are capable of making an informed and rational decision, then we have been successful.

I’m really disgusted that a healthcare organization would bow to the tantrum of one very arrogant and immature physician. If there was one example of a surgeon with a God-Complex, this is one.

I encourage you to read the email and case below and to reach out to Amanda Trujillo (@FYRHONEYBSN on twitter) to show her your support. We need patient advocates like her to take care of us. Do you want your loved ones to have the right of choice in their healthcare stripped away from them by a detached physician?

You can also email the Arizona State Board of Nursing and let them know you are following Ms. Trujillo’s case: arizona@azbn.gov

What specific qualities and traits do you feel make nurses especially qualified to operate a business? Perseverance, Open mind, empathy, strictness, research minded, confidence.
View previous responses: http://www.nursingentrepreneurs.com/qualities
Do you currently practice as a nurse? If yes in what type of setting? I currently practice as a media television producer and host to educate the public on medical issues.
Your most pressing concerns with the profession and healthcare: Lack of knowledge given in Nursing schools on both theory and practice. Lack of surgical experience and sterile technique. There appears to be a lack of followup. Too many hours spent studying on non medical/nursing subjects. I am also concerned about the changes in health care eliminating time in hospitals etc.
View previous responses: http://www.nursefriendly.com/concerns/
How do you feel the coming nursing shortage (as baby boomer enter the healthcare system, and nurses retire in droves) will affect patient care? The retiring experienced nurses will leave a big gap in the health care system. Both their previous education and experience have saved many lives the dedication and education now appear to lack these attributes.

A startling proportion of older people report that they’ve experienced discrimination: 63 percent, in a study recently published in Research on Aging. The most commonly cited cause? “Thirty percent report being mistreated because of their age,” said the lead author Ye Luo, a Clemson University sociologist. Perceived discrimination because of gender, race or ancestry, disabilities or appearance followed in smaller proportion"

"Would You Recommend Nursing" by Annette Tersigni RN, The Yoga Nurse:"Nursing is a calling. I am a non-traditional nurse and I recommend non-traditional nursing. I was called when I was 48 years young and graduated at 51. The smartest move I ever made in my life. Becoming a nurse was not what I expected though. The 'eating your young thing.' Yikes! I was and am still a yoga teacher, all about 'expanding consciousness' loving kindness, compassion. Sadly I found that the nurses I first worked with at a big 'law dee da' famous hospital were less than supportive. Then I moved to a small town in North Carolina with a 140-bed hospital. It all changed. The nurses there were awesome and helped me to become a competent cardiac nurse."

WoundRounds, Benefits For Wound Care Nurses:"As a wound care nurse, gathering data is a time consuming process. Entering data multiple times, filling out paper forms and searching for past notes to complete required documentation is inefficient and prone to error. WoundRounds eliminates the need for hand written charting and redundant documentation. Team collaboration for patient care is enhanced. Patient information is electronically captured at the bedside and uploaded over the internet to secure servers. Information is immediately available over the Internet—whenever and where ever it is needed."

Reducing Medication Errors: A Focus on the Med Pass, Capra Dalton RN, CEO, Pedagogy Incorporated:"Recent studies have shed light on the growing problem of medication errors within our healthcare system. It is important that all healthcare providers be familiar with the extent of the problem, both the high error rates and the potentially serious consequences. This knowledge is needed to facilitate active participation in implementing effective strategies and changes in attitudes to decrease these error rates. Errors are in effect a breakdown of a system and not the sole responsibility of any one individual. Designed for the licensed nurse and certified medication aide, this course will provide information on the scope of problem, the cause and the prevention of medication errors. With a focus on the current best practices of medication preparation and administration this course will enhance understanding of the survey process and remedies the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) may enforce. The goal is to reduce facility medication error rates in order to provide safe medication administration to residents."

Lab Tests Online, American Association for Clinical Chemistry:"The work of the clinical laboratory professional - who analyzes many things in the body including chemical indicators, the health of blood cells, and the presence of microbes and genetic markers - has long been an unseen aspect of health care. Yet, clinical lab tests often provide the link between the patient's presentation of symptoms and the doctor's diagnosis of and prescribed treatment for a particular condition or disease. Through preventive screening, lab tests also aid in the early detection of potentially fatal conditions and, in so doing, lead to early treatment. In short, lab tests can help both to save lives and to improve the quality of life.
Lab Tests Online has been designed to help you, as a patient or family caregiver, to better understand the many clinical lab tests that are part of routine care as well as diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions and diseases. If you are a medical professional, this site can serve as a quick reference tool or as a resource for keeping up with advances in laboratory science.

Age Discrimination Takes Its Toll by Paula Span, January 12, 2012, 12:07 pm:"Raise your hand if you’ve felt that people treat you with less respect or courtesy than others, that they act as if you’re not smart, that you get poorer service in stores and restaurants than others — in short, if you’ve felt discriminated against because of age, gender, ethnicity, income, disability, appearance, even marital status. A startling proportion of older people report that they’ve experienced discrimination: 63 percent, in a study recently published in Research on Aging. The most commonly cited cause? “Thirty percent report being mistreated because of their age,” said the lead author Ye Luo, a Clemson University sociologist. Perceived discrimination because of gender, race or ancestry, disabilities or appearance followed in smaller proportion"

New Blood Thinner Linked To Higher Heart Attack Risk - MSN #Health - #Heart & #Cardiovascular #pradaxa #dabigatran

2012-01-09T16:45:00.001-08:00

The anticoagulant Pradaxa (dabigatran) is associated with a small increase in the risk of heart attack, a new review finds.
Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio looked at seven trials involving Pradaxa that included more than 30,000 patients. This process, called a meta-analysis, uses data from published clinical trials to tease out a pattern that might not show up in a single study.
The researchers found Pradaxa was associated with an increased risk of heart attack or acute coronary syndrome (heart attack or angina), compared with two other commonly used blood thinners, warfarin (Coumadin, Jantoven) and enoxaparin (Lovenox).
Among those taking Pradaxa, 1.19 percent had a heart attack or suffered from acute coronary syndrome compared with 0.79 percent of those taking either of the other drugs, they noted.

"Would You Recommend Nursing" by Annette Tersigni RN, The Yoga Nurse, @theyoganurse #Nursefriendly Nurse-Approved Resources

2012-01-08T09:47:00.001-08:00

Submitted January 7, 2012
Nursing is a calling. I am a non-traditional nurse and I recommend non-traditional nursing. I was called when I was 48 years young and graduated at 51. The smartest move I ever made in my life. Becoming a nurse was not what I expected though. The ‘eating your young thing.’ Yikes! I was and am still a yoga teacher, all about ‘expanding consciousness’ loving kindness, compassion. Sadly I found that the nurses I first worked with at a big ‘law dee da’ famous hospital were less than supportive. Then I moved to a small town in North Carolina with a 140-bed hospital. It all changed. The nurses there were awesome and helped me to become a competent cardiac nurse.
Still there was the endless backbiting and gossip about other nurses. This was shocking to me because of my formation in spiritual practices, including a stint in a convent. Truth be told, when I hung out at the convent, I was also shocked that the nuns also gossiped about each other and that shattered my image on both accounts. The first nurses, it is said, were nuns. Hmmm.
For me nursing was absolutely a stepping-stone to my vision of marrying nursing with my yoga teaching. I saw how nurses were self-care deprived, exhausted and stressed out. I wanted to help nurses with gentle practices that they could do on the job and in their personal life. Many nurses are too tired to ‘advocate’ for improved working conditions and have a feeling of hopelessness and that “nothing is gonna change” attitude. And you know what? They are right most of the time. I see and hear the same laments from nurses world wide. Nothing IS going to change until nurses change.
Nurses can do anything. They get the job done, work shifts that other mere mortals would not consider for two minutes, with few breaks and little appreciation or recognition from administration. It is often why they leave the profession. It is not about the money, it is about not being seen nor heard. Nurses I SEE you, I HEAR you. And I have a dream, a dream that is becoming reality.
My VISION: Nurses are the largest single group of health care workers. We rule health care. I see a day when more and more nurses become independent entrepreneurs and health care experts, educators, wellness coaches; thought leaders, change agents and online marketers of their wisdom in their specialty areas.
I see a day when nurses finally have the ‘cojones’ to unite and stand for safer nurse to patient ratios and shorter more humane shifts with adequate breaks, lunch hours etc. like the rest of the civilized working world. Nurses are consistently voted the most trusted profession, year after year in the Gallop Pole. That is powerfully HUGE. It means that nurses who are burnt out from years at the bedside or community nursing have choices. The choice to take their wealth of life saving knowledge and step outside the ‘box’ and get the recognition they deserve, get a fulfilling life and get paid what they are worth.
Do I recommend nursing? Oh yeah. Big time. And it is time for nurses to realize they have tons of options to make a difference in the world and they don’t have to serve a life sentence in the traditional nursing…if they choose not to. There is a NEW movement in nursing. I and many other nurse entrepreneurs of all ages are waking up. What about you?

J&J Said to Agree to Pay $1 Billion in Risperdal Marketing Probe - Bloomberg

2012-01-07T08:57:00.001-08:00

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) will pay more than $1 billion to the U.S. and most states to resolve a civil investigation into marketing of the antipsychotic Risperdal, according to people familiar with the matter.

J&J, the world’s largest health products company, reached an agreement last week with the U.S. attorney in Philadelphia, according to the people, who weren’t authorized to speak about the matter. Negotiations over a possible criminal plea are still under way, they said.

The U.S. government has been investigating Risperdal sales practices since 2004, including allegations the company marketed the drug for unapproved uses, J&J has said in Securities and Exchange Commission filings (JNJ). The company said it has been in negotiations with the U.S. to settle the investigation.

Does anyone wonder why I have little if any trust in the Pharmaceutical Industry? They've been putting profits first, and patient safety last for a very long time.

Hospital Quits Hiring #Smokers, Introduces #Nicotine Tests For Medical Workers - #nursefriendly

2012-01-06T13:22:00.001-08:00

Smokers in the medical field now have another reason to quit as a Pennsylvania hospital has said it will no longer hire smokers and is introducing nicotine tests in order to enforce the rule.

Geisinger Health System's smoke-free health policy will go into effect on Feb. 1, according to KKTV.com.

"Not only do we want to practice what we preach, but we also want our employees to feel healthy, we want our patients and visitors to feel that they are in a healthy environment. So it's an overall commitment to the well-being of all those people," Geisinger spokeswoman Marcy Marshall told the Vancouver Sun.

Those exposed to second hand smoke will be exempt from the test, which screens applicants for cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, snuff, nicotine patches, nicotine gum and cigars.

For those who fail the test, the hospital says applicants can reapply after six months, KKTV.com reported.
