OFF THE CUFF #2
15 years of policies from the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions. Here’s another one: Nurses Unions understand and support the need for reform. They know that the need for health care budgets need to be refocused on prevention and health care services in their community, while maintaining high quality acute care. Health care workers support integrated health care services based on a broad social definition of health.

Volunteering is a “best practice” to kick start a career. How you can help the Red Cross? Nursing students should think about this. All of us should think about this. Here’s the website for the Canadian Red Cross and here’s the website for the American Red Cross.

Body Worlds is coming to the OHA HealthAchieve2006 show in November. Details later.
