2009 Out...2010 In
As 2009 comes to a close and enter 2010 we just wanted to give a glimpse of the direction we will be taking to better serve our nurses and our clients.
Our social media presence will be increasing to offer our nurses and future nurses a means in which they can interact with our offices as well as allowing us to interact with you. We have implemented numerous profiles within Twitter and Facebook along with this blog. We want you to experience communication with us as if we were all sitting around the fireplace at your local coffee shop or the local martini bar…pick the one that works best for you.
Nurses PRN involvement in social media allows us to gather and share like interests as they pertain to your professional growth. We are here to create, share and consume content in a responsible and respectful manner. We want you to share and be enthusiastic about your work…we want to know what we can do better in order to serve you and make your time with us as rewarding as possible.

10 years of events…not in any order…a look back
1. We all held our breath as the clock ticked down to a new century. We sat next to our bottled water, duct tape & cases of soup and hoped that when midnight struck in Australia that we would still see Sydney.
2. We came to know that 9-11 can have two different meanings.
3. Martha Stewart went to jail.
4. Enron, one word says it all.
5. Record profits by the oil companies.
6. Wall Street losing billions, getting bonuses and then getting our money to pay for those bonuses.
7. General Motors goes bankrupt.
8. Global warming – real or not?
9. A tsunami that killed hundreds of thousands a day after Christmas.
10. Arnold becomes the Gover-nator.
11. Bush v. Gore
12. Bush v. Kerry
13. Katrina
14. A presidential election that re-wrote history.
Feel free to add your own.

It is time to stop worrying and relax. Here are 11 simple ideas to reduce your stress at work and have more fun.
1. Be patient and positive in your tone of voice.
2. Take a break. Just a few moments away will give you the energy to move forward.
3. Think about what makes a great day at work. The next time you have fun at work, take a moment to reflect. Write down what happened that made the day so great.
4. Sometimes you have to ask. If something is bothering you and causing stress, then speak up and say something. Most people will just stew or whine in the break room rather than speak up.
5. Be in the moment with your co-workers. Working in the moment means being focused and connected. Listen to each other. Make eye contact. Engage in the communication process.
6. Tell your co-workers you appreciate them.
7. Create opportunity. Figure out what kind of opportunity you want from your job. Make sure your employer understands what you need to be happy.
8. Be a better listener. When we listen, we are more effective as a team; we are better communicators; we are more productive; and we have more fun.
9. Be flexible to change.
10. If you really want to reduce your stress, make a list of everything that caused you stress and frustration in the last week. Most of the things on that list don’t matter.
11. Help your teammates take ownership of their happiness and passion. Too many times, employees let other people’s actions or words determine their happiness. Happiness is a choice.

How can tea help boost my immunity through the Influenza season? The two best types of tea for fending off microinvaders are Matcha green tea and tulsi tea.
Green Tea and Matcha
Matcha is the most nutrient-rich green tea and comes in the form of a stone-ground powder, completely unfermented. The best Matcha comes from Japan and has up to seventeen times the antioxidants of wild blueberries, and seven times more than dark chocolate.
Green teas are rich in polyphenols, in the form of natural chemicals called catechins. The most powerful catechin in tea is epigallocatechin (EGCG), which was found in one study to be 25 to 100 times more potent than antioxidant vitamins C and E. And Matcha is more than 100 times as potent in EGCG as regular brewed green tea.
Tulsi
Tulsi tea, coming from the holy basil herb, has been used for thousands of years in the Ayurvedic medicine of India. Not only is this tea loaded with antioxidants, but it has multiple positive health benefits, including supporting your immune health, memory, heart health and vision.

People should disregard e-mails urging them to register personal information on an H1N1 flu vaccine registry with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, health officials warned Wednesday. The registry is bogus, and people who try to send the information to the CDC may instead get a virus installed on their computers.
CDC officials have posted a warning about the e-mail scam on the CDC Web page, and state officials planned to do the same.
"We have no (registration) requirement for anybody, and neither does the federal government, in any way, shape or form," said Dr. Megan Davies, state epidemiologist. "People can just show up if they want a vaccination." Officials urged people to beware of e-mail solicitations that ask for personal or medical information.
It's unclear how widespread the phony registration messages are, but Davies said it is similar to false rumors that the federal government was going to mandate H1N1 vaccinations for everyone.
"That's not correct, but it plays into those perceptions," she said.
