Nurses, Jobs and Money
In April, Tennessee will become the
anchoring hub of ‘Nurses, Jobs and Money’, presented by Visionary, LLC
featuring Carmen Kosicek, RN, MSN.
This
workshop is approved for 7.0 CE’s by the Alabama State Nurses Association, an
accredited approver of continuing nursing education by the American Nurses
Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
The workshop 'Nurses, Jobs and Money', was
formulated to educate nurses who are challenged with traditional employment by
educating them on how to unearth opportunities in which they may continue to
utilize their nursing insight and knowledge.
This workshop is excellent for students,
newly graduated nurses, seasoned nurses and nurses with disabilities.
Unemployed and underemployed nurses, as well as returning military
nurses, will benefit from this workshop by enhancing knowledge of alternative
employment opportunities.
An on-line version of the 'Nurses, Jobs
and Money' workshop is being filmed and will be available at
www.CarmenKosicek.com by July 2013.

New visual amplified stethoscope
"Many doctors and nurses suffer from poor hearing, making it difficult to auscultate their patients, seriously hampering their ability to perform a basic screening."
"The Cardionics ViScope aims to solve that problem by providing both amplification of the audio signal and a visual display of the phonocardiogram or phonopneumogram. The device is compatible with In-the-Ear or open fit Behind-the-Ear hearing aids, offering the ability to boost the signal 30 times over a conventional stethoscope."
