Biebert :-) It felt like it some nights! @chemosabe: @Biebert Saturday Night Fever administrator? #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:10:40 PST 2010

EllenRichter @NurseCircle I really enjoy your tweets!! Welcome to Twitter. Its very different from FB! :) #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:10:58 PST 2010

chemosabe @Biebert so seriously what is SNF? #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:11:47 PST 2010

EllenRichter By the way, for any of the #RNchat hashtag followers who dont follow #hpm tweets, youshould. Great hospice/palliative med links!Thu Dec 30 18:13:34 PST 2010

NursesNightOut T1 Well, our Annual Nurses Night Out Cruise caught on fire and got cancelled...a littleannoying. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:14:22 PST 2010

8pmWarrior This was the year some hospitals started to truly embrace social media. One system had allnurses join twitter. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:15:48 PST 2010

SteveCarran T1 I think one of the biggest advances I saw was in technology, how #nurses and others areconnecting on things like #RNchat, its growing!Thu Dec 30 18:16:53 PST 2010

NurseEducator T1 Finally...buy-in by colleagues for online endeavors! Something to smile about! #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:17:07 PST 2010

EllenRichter That is truly great! RT @8pmWarrior This year some hospitals started to embrace socialmedia.1 system had all nurses join Twitter #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:17:33 PST 2010

ClearMedical 2010 was a crappy year for nurse staffing. Where did the shortage go? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:17:37 PST 2010


3/13



NurseEducator @NursesNightOut Hope no one got hurt! #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:17:59 PST 2010

SteveCarran Bummer! RT"@NursesNightOut T1 Well, our Annual Nurses Night Out Cruise caught on fireand got cancelled...a little annoying. #RNchat"Thu Dec 30 18:18:29 PST 2010

NurseEducator @EllenRichter @8pmWarrior Which system? #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:18:49 PST 2010

SarahBethRN agree RT @ClearMedical: 2010 was a crappy year for nurse staffing. Where did theshortage go? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:19:01 PST 2010

NursesNightOut @RNchat it was supposed to be on the Carnival Elation (aka #Spam Cruise) that caught onfire in the Pacific. We were all bummed... #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:19:24 PST 2010

EllenRichter @nurseeducator LOL not my facility! I wish!! #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:19:26 PST 2010

NurseEducator @EllenRichter Some are still very skittish about SM #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:20:50 PST 2010

NurseEducator @NursesNightOut Was that the same cruise that had to get towed back? #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:21:59 PST 2010

NurseTeeny @EllenRichter I agree that change is in the air. Did folks read the IOM report - "The Futureof Nursing"? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:22:15 PST 2010

EllenRichter T1 I think technology is going to be very important in determining how nurses care for theincreasingly complex patient population #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:22:51 PST 2010

NurseEducator @NurseTeeny @tcoss Another thought is that many RNs are putting off retirement(economy related) #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:23:32 PST 2010

EllenRichter T1 Any nurse who has not already mastered computer technology better get it down veryquickly. It is essential to health care #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:24:13 PST 2010

dorameulman #RNchat for me personally I got to experience nursing in England from a family perspective.Awesome to compare to US. Changed me :)Thu Dec 30 18:24:46 PST 2010

RNchat @ClearMedical I suspect that retired nurses, or nurses who left bedside who lost jobs, re-entered. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:24:53 PST 2010


4/13



NurseTeeny @NurseEducator I agree that is definitely part of it. But a lot of hospitals put their theirresidency programs on hold too. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:25:05 PST 2010

RNchat Follow-up T1 - So iPhone, iPad & other tech - how much adoption have you seen? Do yousee mobile catalyzing adoption? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:25:47 PST 2010

chemosabe @dorameulman wot changed u or ur practice? #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:25:52 PST 2010

Biebert @chemosabe I ran a 150 bed Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) and rehab center. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:26:11 PST 2010

SarahBethRN one can dream...RT @RNchat: T1So iPhone, iPad & other tech - how much adoption haveyou seen? Do you see mobile catalyzing adoption? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:26:33 PST 2010

makingsofanurse T1 At my hospital we were still charting on trifold pieces of paper, so we had a looong wayto go. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:26:34 PST 2010

NurseEducator @rnchat that population of nurses are re-entering as well because spouse or so lost a job #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:26:44 PST 2010

chemosabe @Biebert ah nursing and health same world over, but lingo is diff! #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:27:13 PST 2010

chemosabe T1 no much happening in Queensland currently...individuals adopting tech, but not at orglevel... #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:28:03 PST 2010

ClearMedical Yep, exactly. @RNchat: @ClearMedical I suspect that retired nurses, or nurses who leftbedside who lost jobs, re-entered. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:28:07 PST 2010

SteveCarran @EllenRichter I agree, I heard some facilities are using the #iPad. Do you think it will catchon and is it worth the cost? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:28:32 PST 2010

NurseEducator @rnchat no iPads at hosp yet...working on EMR. Mobile devices allowed for use withmedical apps #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:28:38 PST 2010

chemosabe T1 one facility trialled PDA tech with MIMs etc, but not aware that there has been anyuptake, 2 year later #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:28:45 PST 2010

NurseEducator @EllenRichter T1 agreed re: comp technology. #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:30:35 PST 2010


5/13



SarahBethRN t1 #RNchat Used a PDA device with Windows OS in pt care, found it unreliable. We needsomething more efficient IE iPadThu Dec 30 18:31:34 PST 2010

ClearMedical It also seems like 2010 was the year when short staffing was the norm, further acceleratingburnout and the future nursing shortage. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:31:37 PST 2010

SteveCarran I wrote a blog about the best smartphone apps for #healthcare, check it out at http://tinyurl.com/24vvjg8 if you are interested #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:31:50 PST 2010

NurseTeeny @SarahBethRN Definitely got a dirty luck from a nurse for using my smartphone to looksomething up as a student. I feel your pain . #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:32:44 PST 2010

EllenRichter @rnchat LMAO Oh no, no painkillers! How about lots of....massage sessions ? :) #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:33:01 PST 2010

NurseTeeny @SarahBethRN That would be dirty look, not dirty luck . Lol #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:33:28 PST 2010

EllenRichter @nurseeducator Yes we have wifi at our facility too but it blocks all social media-relatedsites! #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:33:59 PST 2010

NurseCircle T1 - This year saw a lot of acceptance of mobile apps (but not mobile phones) at thebedside. iPad would make it seem less risque #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:34:03 PST 2010

NurseEducator @SteveCarran T1 Nice! I like Epocrates! Micromedex 2.0 at the hospital is verycomprehensive. Free app limited to drug basics #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:34:38 PST 2010

NurseCircle @dorameulman They always seem to give us the "fun" stuff last. :-) #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:35:12 PST 2010

makingsofanurse I would also recommend Skyscape! RT @SteveCarran: The best smartphone apps for #healthcare: http://tinyurl.com/24vvjg 8 #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:35:20 PST 2010

SarahBethRN sorry! RT @NurseTeeny: @SarahBethRN ...got a dirty luck from a nurse for using mysmartphone to look something up as a student. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:35:33 PST 2010

FreshRN @SteveCarran Skyscape is also a pretty helpful app =) #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:35:37 PST 2010

EllenRichter @WTOAssociates Nursing informatics not only fits in, it will be a driving force in the changeto electronic records. Great field! #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:36:42 PST 2010


6/13



WTOAssociates I mean, @EllenRichter Where does Nursing Informatics fit in? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:36:46 PST 2010

SteveCarran Is that one free? RT @FreshRN @SteveCarran Skyscape is also a pretty helpful app =) #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:37:18 PST 2010

NurseEducator @EllenRichter T1 Social Media is not blocked but streaming video is, except for thoserequested for edu purposes...direct path only! #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:38:14 PST 2010

WTOAssociates @EllenRichter Need to learn more about this. Nursing informatics #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:38:46 PST 2010

NurseCircle #2010 was the year when nursing students had to actually spend time hunting for jobs.Unexpected considering where we were in 2006 #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:39:18 PST 2010

FreshRN #Truth --> RT @NurseCircle: #2010 was the year when Nursing students had to actuallyspend time hunting for jobs... #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:40:43 PST 2010

RNchat So next topic is just an extension of T1. Coming up in a moment. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:40:46 PST 2010

SteveCarran @FreshRN @NurseEducator That sounds great! I will have to add it to my list. Thanks forthe tip! #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:41:46 PST 2010

EllenRichter @WTOAssociates Ohh. OK. Its the use of computer technology & applications to aid in thedelivery of nursing care & other health care #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:41:53 PST 2010

makingsofanurse I applied to 166 jobs before I was offered a position. #Horrific. RT @NurseCircle: 2010-whennursing students had to hunt for jobs. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:42:47 PST 2010

WTOAssociates @EllenRichter Your ok. I made a mistake and tried to correct. :) #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:43:56 PST 2010

EllenRichter T1 @NurseCircle Good point about 2010 being the year new nurses had to climb straight upwalls to get a job! #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:44:52 PST 2010

dorameulman #RNchat my personal mission is to get nurses to adopt a healthy lifestyle. We take care ofthe sick & not ourselves. #weeklyfitnesschallengeThu Dec 30 18:45:05 PST 2010

chemosabe T1 http://www.healthexec.tv/node/243?sid=25539 -C5 tech (been away on pt care), this ishappening in NHS - will need 2 b reg 21 view #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:45:10 PST 2010


7/13



SteveCarran @NurseEducator @FreshRN So is it worth paying for, or is the free version sufficientenough? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:45:21 PST 2010

NurseCircle @makingsofanurse 166? Holy moly! #RNChatThu Dec 30 18:46:11 PST 2010

WTOAssociates @EllenRichter So unique to other clinical informatics for a Doc or PA ? #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:46:31 PST 2010

NurseTeeny @SteveCarran Skyscape itself is a portal (and you get a few free apps). The benefit is inpurchasing things like drug guides within #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:46:58 PST 2010

FreshRN Amen RT @sarahbethrn: Agree totally! RT @NurseCircle: 2011 needs 2 be the year ofsticking together. We cant "eat our young" anymore #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:47:04 PST 2010

SarahBethRN T2 #RNchat One thing I can do to change healthcare? Be a part of the change , help thenew generation of healthcare workers.Thu Dec 30 18:48:18 PST 2010

chemosabe @FreshRN @sarahbethrn @NurseCircle so this eating our young thing is not unique 2 Oz,refreshing and scary 2 know #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:48:38 PST 2010

EllenRichter @WTOAssociates Well in health care facilities nurses are usually the largest population offolks. Informatics can improve outcomes #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:49:46 PST 2010

SteveCarran @FreshRN @NurseTeeny @NurseEducator Great, thanks! Sorry for getting off topic. :) #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:49:49 PST 2010

NurseCircle Nope. Unfortunately not... RT @chemosabe so this eating our young thing is not unique 2Oz, refreshing and scary 2 know #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:49:56 PST 2010

FreshRN @chemosabe Scary indeed; very interesting how this unfortunate aspect of nursing culturetranscends even our national cultures #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:50:32 PST 2010

NurseCircle @SteveCarran No problem...love the energy! #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:50:42 PST 2010

NurseEducator Ditto! RT @FreshRN: @SteveCarran Only use free versions too. Have free use ofcomprehensive versions at work for Micromedex 2.0 #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:50:51 PST 2010

chemosabe @NurseTeeny Hx, of hospital heirarchy - coul not take on docs or admin, so took out eaother! #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:51:05 PST 2010


8/13



SarahBethRN had a manager take cred for a new idea of mine. afraid of young RNs advancing. fear theirjobs. RT @chemosabe RE: eating young #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:52:43 PST 2010

WTOAssociates @EllenRichter Would like to talk more with you on this at another time. Really appreciateyour perspective. #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:52:52 PST 2010

chemosabe h8 to bring gender in but.. Hx...nurse -female ... Docs - male .... social hierarchy again! #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:52:52 PST 2010

FreshRN Indeed! Wonder if this behavior is found in other professions as well RT @rnchat: ... revisit"eating of the young" in more depth #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:53:33 PST 2010

EllenRichter T2 in 2011 we each need to bring a new #nurse friend to #RNchat to help promote use ofsocial media in enhancing nursing practicesThu Dec 30 18:54:14 PST 2010

NurseEducator T2 Promote the use of SM in the hospital setting for pt and staff ed #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:54:49 PST 2010

chemosabe @FreshRN bet u would find it in teaching! #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:55:14 PST 2010

NurseTeeny Great idea Ellen! RT @EllenRichter: T2 in 2011 we each need to bring a new #nurse friendto #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:55:25 PST 2010

RNchat T2 And we may have to run demos of #RNchat to some hospitals & other facilities. ;)Thu Dec 30 18:56:20 PST 2010

EllenRichter T2 Glad you agree. I think we can make the #RNchat community a force to reckon with, in agood way! :) Right?Thu Dec 30 18:56:49 PST 2010

dorameulman @EllenRichter good idia Ellen to introduce other nurses to #RnChat :)Thu Dec 30 18:56:57 PST 2010

FreshRN Would be very cool! RT @rnchat: T2 And we may have to run demos of #RNchat to somehospitals & other facilities. ;) #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:57:08 PST 2010

lperk Yep!!! RT @EllenRichter T1 @NurseCircle Good point about 2010 being the year newnurses had to climb straight up walls to get a job! #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:57:35 PST 2010

chemosabe @FreshRN for the same reasons gender (and again I h8 to bring it in) #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:57:40 PST 2010


9/13



EllenRichter Wow, thats a terrific idea! RT @RNchat T2 And we may have to run demos of #RNchat tosome hospitals & other facilities. ;)Thu Dec 30 18:57:52 PST 2010

NurseCircle We definitely need to use SM to improve nursing . #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:58:11 PST 2010

FreshRN Really great idea, I think this is where it needs to start!RT @EllenRichter: we each need tobring a new #nurse friend to #RNchat... #RNchatThu Dec 30 18:58:16 PST 2010

NurseEducator @dorameulman T2 Promote healthy lifestyle! Like this! #rnchatThu Dec 30 18:58:19 PST 2010

dorameulman #RNchat in my unit I would say 50% of us are conected on facebook but very few on Twitter .T2Thu Dec 30 18:59:48 PST 2010

EllenRichter T2 II think we all see how valuable social media has become, but we still dont have best gripon how to blend it with health care #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:00:25 PST 2010

RNchat @nursefriendly Possible explanation: Modern nrsg evolved as a female-dominatedprofession w/in a male-dominated society. #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:01:38 PST 2010

RNchat @nursefriendly ...Meaning: women were "put in their place", and the pressure just mountedinternally over time. #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:02:26 PST 2010

NurseEducator @EllenRichter T2 Certainly an open and ripe area for nursing research! #rnchatThu Dec 30 19:03:32 PST 2010

FreshRN @rnchat I wonder how things would have worked out in the nursing profession if it begandifferently; perhaps gender roles switched #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:04:01 PST 2010

RNchat @nursefriendly Also, I think h/care confuses the word Serious & Responsible. http://bit.ly/hed98o #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:04:09 PST 2010

EllenRichter @nursefriendly I agree that "eat your young" mentality is seen more in nursing than otherprofessions. I think stress plays big role #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:04:14 PST 2010

SarahBethRN @Rnchat #Rnchat possibly, also, "These young RNs will never know what I went through"mentality?Thu Dec 30 19:04:21 PST 2010

chemosabe @FreshRN now that is a scary thought! #rnchatThu Dec 30 19:04:44 PST 2010

EllenRichter T2 It goes with that "battle-ax #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:05:25 PST 2010

RNchat @FreshRN Perhaps. Would be kinda interesting to do a time-machine role -change thing andwatch what woulda happened. ;) #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:05:29 PST 2010

FreshRN LOL =P RT @chemosabe: @FreshRN now that is a scary thought! #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:05:30 PST 2010

NurseEducator Thanks RNchat and all for terrific convos! #rnchatThu Dec 30 19:07:21 PST 2010

EllenRichter T2 It goes with that "battle-ax" nurse persona--those who like to bully everyone becausethey can. Patients & colleagues. #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:07:46 PST 2010

chemosabe @RBK1217 Horizontal Violence #rnchatThu Dec 30 19:08:12 PST 2010

NurseEducator Good night all and wishing all a happy and healthy new year.. #rnchatThu Dec 30 19:08:56 PST 2010

FreshRN =)RT @rnchat: @FreshRN Perhaps. Would be kinda interesting to do a time-machine role -change thing and watch what woulda happened. ;) #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:09:10 PST 2010

NurseTeeny I agree - a mentality that we "have it easy" somethow? @Rnchat also, "These young RNswill never know what I went through"? #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:09:39 PST 2010

RNchat @nurseeducator Good night, and Happy New Year wishes! #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:09:56 PST 2010

RBK1217 #RNchat I just happened upon the chat tonight. I will look forward to this on Thursdays!Thu Dec 30 19:10:57 PST 2010

chemosabe good night those that are leaving, happy new year #rnchatThu Dec 30 19:11:16 PST 2010

EllenRichter @RBK1217 That is terrible! What is that all about? Student nurses have to sit on the floorduring report? Disdainful look.. #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:11:30 PST 2010


11/13



FreshRN omg RT @RBK1217: When I was a student, we were made to sit on the floor during report,no matter how many chairs. I swore Id NEVER.. #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:11:35 PST 2010

Biebert Maybe "Eating the Young" mentality stems from management? Maybe we need to trainthose skills somewhere? #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:11:37 PST 2010

EllenRichter @RBK1217 Search for the tweets with the #RNchat hashtag thru the week for great links toblogs, articles & conversations too!Thu Dec 30 19:12:12 PST 2010

EllenRichter @Biebert Actually I really dont think "eating your young" is management-driven. Its justsenior nurse vs newbie #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:13:20 PST 2010

RBK1217 @EllenRichter #RNchat It was degrading and I think that was the point of making us sit"below" the floor nurses. It felt awful!Thu Dec 30 19:13:21 PST 2010

ClearMedNetwork Good night everyone! Great chat! #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:13:24 PST 2010

FreshRN Agree RT @sarahbethrn: Also think it has to do with the generation gap. baby boomers dontunderstand gen Ys, and vice versa. #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:13:42 PST 2010

chemosabe Gender, gen gap, hospital heirarchy and unionism all have things to contribute to thehorizontal violence in nursing! #rnchatThu Dec 30 19:13:56 PST 2010

dorameulman #RNChat Happy New Years all my nurse friends you ROCK. Lets make a difference in2011 :))Thu Dec 30 19:14:42 PST 2010

EllenRichter My wish for 2011, folks, is to either win the 200 million lottery or else continue being a nurse& love every minute of it! :) #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:14:43 PST 2010

Biebert @EllenRichter Leaders in the unit have the power to identify & stop poor treatment. Howelse would we find new nurses on the floor? #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:15:28 PST 2010

RBK1217 #RNchat 2011: harmony and good health care!Thu Dec 30 19:15:43 PST 2010

RNchat @chemosabe Same here! #RNchatThu Dec 30 19:15:54 PST 2010
