How to Write a Nursing Resume
by Laura Adams
Recent labor studies have predicted that nursing positions will continue to grow faster than the national average for at least the next five years. Though this trend
is good news for nurses on the job market, it does not diminish the fact
that competition will remain tough for the most desirable nursing
positions. Nurses need to pay close attention to the presentation of their
credentials, as detailed in their resume, in order to ensure that they can
compete in the tough medical profession.

The Role Of The SANE The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner
by Larry Ford
Studies
have shown that less than half of the victims of sexual assault treated
in emergency rooms get basic help with information about the risk of
pregnancy or emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy.
They have to wait for sometimes up to six hours for treatment, and
during this wait, they're told not to eat, drink, or even use the
bathroom before they're examined because it might destroy evidence.
By the time of the examination, victims often feel "re-raped" from the
treatment by the staff of the emergency room. For this reason,
emergency rooms are realizing a need for SANE programs. |

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! |
