Nurses are angels in comfortable shoes. ~Author Unknown


Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon. ~Dag Hammarskjold


Nursing would be a dream job if there were no doctors. ~Gerhard Kocher


Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts. ~Florence Nightingale


Caring is the essence of nursing. ~Jean Watson


Nurses can take the pressure. ~Author Unknown


The trained nurse has become one of the great blessings of humanity, taking a place beside the physician and the priest.... ~William Osler


Nurses dispense comfort, compassion, and caring without even a prescription. ~Val Saintsbury


Bound by paperwork, short on hands, sleep, and energy... nurses are rarely short on caring. ~Sharon Hudacek, "A Daybook for Nurses"


A nurse is compassion in scrubs. ~Lexie Saige


Nurses are I.V. leaguers. ~Author Unknown


Nurses are the heartbeat of health care. ~Author Unknown


After two days in the hospital, I took a turn for the nurse. ~W.C. Fields

Panic plays no part in the training of a nurse. ~Elizabeth Kenny


Nurses are patient people. ~Author Unknown


You might be a nurse if you firmly believe that "too stupid to live" should be a diagnosis. ~Author Unknown


Whether a person is a male or female, a nurse is a nurse. ~Gary Veale


If Christian scientists had more science and doctors more Christianity, it wouldn't make any difference which you called in - if you had a good nurse. ~Finley Peter Dunne

A nurse will always give us hope,
an angel with a stethoscope.
~Carrie Latet


Nurses don't wait until October to celebrate Make a Difference Day - they make a difference every day! ~Author Unknown


Confucius say: "Man who want pretty nurse, must be patient." ~Author Unknown


Always thank your nurse,
Sometimes the only one between you and a hearse.
~Carrie Latet


Nurses are the hospitality of the hospital. ~Carrie Latet


We'd all be worse without a nurse. ~Author Unknown


During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. ~Joann C. Jones

USA VISA NEW PROCEDURES

USA VISA NEW PROCEDURES
By: UNITED STATES VISAS.GOV

In 2001 and 2002, the United States passed new laws that affected some aspects of the nonimmigrant visa process and entry-exit procedures. Many things remain the same, however.

What's the Same in U.S. Visa Processing Procedures?

Applicants still must complete all of the various application forms, submit photographs, application fees and other kinds of documentation as they did before.

To obtain a visitor visa (for tourism, medical treatment, and certain kinds of business activities), the process may be relatively simple. To obtain other types of visas, to study or work, for example, more forms and documentation will be required. Individual experience in obtaining a visa can therefore range from relatively fast and simple to relatively complex and time consuming.

Applicants also still need to demonstrate their intent to return home rather than stay permanently in the United States. You will not be granted a visa if, in the judgment of the consular officer, you have not met all of the necessary criteria.

What's Different about U.S. Visa Processing Procedures?

The United States is committed to what Secretary Powell has called the policy of "secure borders, open doors," by facilitating legitimate travel to the United States by international visitors while maintaining the integrity and security of our borders and our nation. Laws passed after September 11, 2001 focused ways to improve border security in the United States. To learn more, select Safety and Security of U.S. Borders

Most visa applicants can expect to be interviewed and must now have two index fingerscans collected as part of the visa application process. These fingerscans are normally collected by the consular officer at the visa interview window, but in some posts they are collected prior to the visa interview.

In addition to being satisfied that the applicant intends to honor the terms of the visa by returning home, the consular officer must evaluate the security risk presented by the applicant. We carefully examine all applications. Visa applications take longer to process. This affects all nonimmigrant visas. Advance planning can smooth the visa application process for you.

What's the Same in U.S. Visa Application Procedures?

Many aspects of U.S. visa application process continue as before. All applicants' names are routinely checked against sophisticated government databases for possible criminal or other information that may disqualify them. The consular officer examines the application and supporting documents and data for facts indicating possible ineligibilities, inconsistencies or questions that may require clarification.

In certain situations, the consular officer may ask for additional application review in Washington, DC. Some visa applicants may need to undergo an extra review process if they seek to engage in a commercial exchange or academic pursuit involving certain designated fields of advanced technology.

What's Different About U.S. Visa Application Procedures?

Some aspects of the nonimmigrant visa process have changed.

Supplemental Application -- All male nonimmigrant visa applicants between the ages of 16-45, regardless of nationality or other factors, must now complete a supplemental application form which helps inform the consular officer's judgment about visa eligibility. Consular officers have the authority to require anyone from any country to complete visa forms if they think it's warranted.

Student and Exchange Visitor Visas - All student and exchange visitors, regardless of nationality or other factors, must complete a supplemental application form which helps inform the consular officer's judgment about visa eligibility. Applicants must also get an authorization form from their sponsoring institution in the U.S. Before a visa can be issued, the sponsoring institution must authenticate the applicant by opening and maintaining an electronic file on a Web-based data management system managed by the Department of Homeland Security, called Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).

Nurses for USA

Source: NURSES FOR USA

USA is currently facing an acute shortage of nurses and is projected to grow to a million in the next fifteen years. This shortage is due to various factors. The current nursing population is aging. Baby boomers are reaching their golden years. Fresh graduates from nursing schools will not be able to meet the demands of the healthcare industry. To meet the growing demands of the current and growing shortage of nurses in the United States, healthcare facilities must recruit nurses internationally. The US government has made it easier for nurses to migrate to the United States to meet this overwhelming demand. This opens an enormous opportunity for qualified, skilled, english speaking nurses in India to migrate to USA. Indian nurses are well respected in the medical community in USA. They are highly qualified, technologically advanced, dedicated, caring and compassionate.

History of the Emergency Nurses Association (USA)

Source: ICN.CH

History of the Emergency Nurses Association (USA)

In 1970, acknowledging the need for an organization that represented the interests of those nurses working in the emergency department, Anita Dorr, RN and Judith Kelleher, RN, MSN, founded what is known today as the Emergency Nurses Association.

Anita, working in Buffalo, New York and inventing the crash cart, formed the Emergency Room Nurses Organization while Judith and her colleagues in California had formed the Emergency Department Nurses Association. Each perceived a need for nurses involved in emergency healthcare to pool their resources in order to set standards and develop improved methods for effective emergency nursing practice. Their goal was to also provide continuing education programs for emergency nurses as well as provide a united voice for all nurses involved in emergency care.

The two groups formally joined forces on December 1, 1970, and the Association was incorporated as the Emergency Department Nurses Association (EDNA). The name was changed to the Emergency Nurses Association (ENA) in 1985 to reflect the practice of emergency nursing as role-specific and not site-specific.

Originally aimed at teaching and networking, the organization has evolved into an authority, advocate, lobbyist, educator and voice for emergency nursing. In addition, in 1995, Emergency Nurses Care (ENCARE) became an affiliate as ENA's Injury Prevention Institute. The institute provides training to volunteers who do community outreach education programs on gun safety, underage alcohol use, drinking and driving, safety belts, bicycle helmet safety, and more to 300,000 people a year ranging in age from 8 years to adult.

ENA's Trauma Nursing Core Course and Emergency Pediatric course are taught to over 50,000 nurses a year both in the U.S. as well as abroad. The program has been translated in several languages and has been conducted internationally. In addition, ENA provides a Course in Advanced Trauma Nursing, Triage, and an Orientation program.

Today a variety of courses, publications, community outreach programs, government relations activities, research, continuing education programs and certification are offered by ENA to the more than 22,000 members and 4,000 injury prevention volunteers.
