Telemedicine Check-ups Increasing
The Miami Herald says the nurse-monitored check-ups with telemedicine are increasing thanks to the advent of remote kiosks in locations such as nursing home lobbies. According to the story, the number of firms making the devices has tripled in the last three years and the Veterans Administration plans to double the patients on home telecare to 20,000 over the next year. Cost is major driver, along with the national nursing shortage says the Herald.

Air Force Nurse Video From Google Highlighting Air Force Nurse Duty
Air Force Nurse
Disclaimer: This is clearly a commercial recruitment ad for the Air Force and military nurses. NurseSpot.com has not been compensated to run this video in any way. We are running it as part of an experiment with the new Google video service.
There is not much nursing-related content available to select from on Google video. While we are in no way trying to discourage interested applicants from joining any military service as a nurse, we just wish to make it clear that this is not objective news content.
We do think it provides a little insight into the lives of our professional Air Force and other military nurses. In this segment, 1st Lt. Cano explains his view of life as an Air Force nurse and the opportunities it offers.

Somewhat Funny Nurse Video From New Google Service:
Karate Nurse?
This video of a nurse demonstrating a bit of karate care is courtesy a new service from Google Video. Unfortunately, there is precious little in the way of caption information or context.
We can't tell if is she is talking about someone in her personal life or a patient – guesses anyone? It's clearly intended to be funny and not taken seriously. How funny it actually is lies with the viewer.
Do you have any amusing videos or stories to tell about your nursing career? Or nursing school days? As part of our new nursing podcast series we'd love to hear from you if you'd like to tell your story over the phone or share a video with our audience of nurses and nursing students.

Survey Indicates That Nursing Shortage Is A Concern To Many - Travel Nurses May Help Ease The Crisis
by J. Terrence McDermott
America is in the midst of a nursing shortage that is expected to get worse as baby boomers age and the need for health care increases. Complicating the nursing shortage problem is the fact that nursing schools and universities across the country are having difficulty maintaining enrollment levels that remain insufficient to meet the projected demand for nursing care.
Based on a recent survey, it is common knowledge that there is a nursing shortage and this is viewed as a serious issue. The study revealed that 75% of Americans think that the nursing shortage is a very real and very important health care concern. The general view is that the nursing shortage will have a negative effect on health care services. The poll indicates that 81 percent of the population is acutely aware of the nursing shortage and fully 65 percent believe that the nursing shortage is nearing crisis levels.

Medical Stock Footage - Prognosis Excellent |
|
As the teaching of medicine becomes an ever increasingly multimedia process, the need for medical stock footage to illustrate the finer points of human anatomy grows apace. Simple two-dimensional illustrations pale in comparison to the lifelike realism offered by state-of-the-art computer animation.
Known in the video production industry by the acronym CGI for Computer Generated Imagery, this technology is responsible for the breathtaking scenes popularized by the feature films Shrek, Toy Story, and Finding Nemo.
Many producers, educational institutions, teaching hospitals and nursing schools are finding themselves in need of stock footage to incorporate in PowerPoint presentations and full-fledged videos intended for distribution online, via DVD and in the classroom.
Royalty free stock footage is an extremely cost-effective way to obtain this footage from existing stock video libraries. These companies offer previously produced video on liberal usage terms for much less cost to the buyer than producing the needed sequences from scratch.
The upside is very high quality footage sourced at very reasonable cost and under simple and uncomplicated license. The downside is that this footage will not be exclusive to the end user and it may not be a perfect match.
A few last points to keep in mind when shopping for stock footage. When you purchase most stock video you can use it time after time without paying new fees. Most stock video is available on CD, DVD or via download. And finally, you can either order the entrée or a la carte. In other words, most agencies will sell you an entire collection or a single clip. Royalty free medical stock video, its not just for Hollywood anymore! |
