The Nurses Legal Toolkit
By Carol Cook, RN, Paralegal
The Nurse Practice Act
One of the most essential tools in any nurse's legal defense fund is to
acquire a copy of the Nurse Practice Act, also known as "the Act" from
your State Board of Nursing. "The Act" is the standard by which
decisions will be made regarding issues relating to malpractice suits.
Answers to the types of questions listed below can be found in "the
Act". If you don't have a copy from your state, visit the Nurse
Practice Act and request one ASAP. And if you relocate, request a new
one with your license.

- Can an LPN hang a piggyback with 50 cc's of fluid in it or push IV-meds?

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! |
