What you Should Know about a Claim of Negligence
In our society, people have a duty to behave in a way that does inflict physical or emotional harm upon others. If you have suffered as the result of another person's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. Compensation is usually in the form of a payment.
Some of the most common claims of negligence include a vehicle accident, work accident, slip and fall, defective product, and medical malpractice, including dentistry.
People have a legal duty of care not to act recklessly to others. Duty of care can be considered a social contract held by individuals towards others within society. It is the first factor that must be established to proceed with a claim of negligence. The plaintiff must be able to prove that the defendant breached a duty of care which resulted in significant damage either physically or psychologically. .
A claim of negligence can also result in receiving special damage compensation. You may be entitled to receive all losses associated with the injury. This includes: loss of wages, property damage such as a vehicle accident, costs for rehabilitation, medical costs, and, added expenses resulting from the injury such as car rental expenses, and pain and suffering.
To make a claim you have to prove that you suffered a loss as the result of someone's negligence. Some examples include: - Another driver was speeding and crashed into your car - A doctor administered the wrong medication. - A company allowed a contaminated product to be sold - Severe injuries resulting from dog bites - An injury resulting from an unsafe working condition.
Once a duty of care negligence exists, the plaintiff must show that the defendant breached it. Breach involves proving that the defendant's actions resulted in breach of standard care. This can vary because most professions have different standards of care. For instance, a physician's standard of care is different from a lawyer's standard of care. The breach is proven when the plaintiff shows that the defendant's actions fell below a reasonable standard of care and directly caused the injury. If a defendant can prove that every precaution was taken, but the injury still occurred and would have likely occurred, then the plaintiff will not prove negligence.
If you think you have suffered an injury as the result of negligence, you may be able to make a negligence claim in civil court. Because negligence claims are very complicated, it is important to seek legal advice before proceeding. There are personal injury lawyers that specialize in specific areas of negligence. It is important to consult a lawyer who specializes in the area of your particular injury. For instance, a brain injury lawyer will have expertise in traumas associated with the brain. They will have a list of medical experts who specialize in brain conditions. Because states vary regarding the time limits to make a claim of negligence, it is important to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible. Ask your lawyer to review your claim to see if negligence has occurred. A personal injury lawyer will be able to tell you if you have a valid negligence claim. It is a good idea to consult with a couple of lawyers to make sure that you are receiving an accurate claim assessment.
Suffering an injury can be a traumatic time for victims and their families. If you feel you have a claim of negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. A personal injury lawyer will fight on your behalf and free you of the stress associated with a civil court case. You will be able to focus your attention on recovery.

The Joys Of Traveling Physical Therapy
First, let's talk about what a physical therapist on the road is exactly. This is someone who signs up with a company to be placed into a job that is in need of a qualified therapist, but who don't have the local resources to fill the position. The physical therapist can choose a job to be assigned to for a given period of time, usually about 13 weeks.
Travel pt jobs (physical therapist) can have a lot of rewards for the therapist and their family. First, there is the traveling aspect of the job. This can be a great way for the family to see the country with very limited expenses.
Another benefit of being a travel therapist is the chance to see many world class facilities in the medical field. In addition to seeing those facilities, there is the chance to work in them. This gives the therapist valuable work experience to improve their skills and expand their knowledge in the field.
Many believe that there is a lack of insurance in a travel pt job. However, insurance is one of the benefits received as a traveling therapist. Medical insurance is offered as well as life insurance and long term disability insurance. These can all be part of the insurance packages offered, making a travel therapy job very competitive with other forms of therapy jobs.
There are ways to make extra cash without any extra work. Just signing up for a job, in some cases, can bring a sign on bonus to the physical therapist. Also, selected jobs offer a completion bonus for completing a job (staying for the whole time requested). Another way to make extra cash is through referral bonuses'. These are offered to therapist for referring other therapist to the company.
Traveling therapists typically also have meals and other incidentals reimbursed or are given an allowance for this. This can really make it much easier to save the money that they are making and help them get ahead or catch up, by greatly reducing their living expenses.
Another benefit for a traveling therapist is the opportunity to have additional education paid for. Some companies will reimburse up to $1000/yr. for the continuing education efforts of their therapist. This not only saves money for the therapist, but it also helps to increase their knowledge and skill.
There are lots of benefits to traveling physical therapist jobs, as we have discussed. One the biggest benefits enjoyed by the therapist, is the long term stability that can be gained. Travel therapists have the ability to build their resume by adding a great list of experiences to their resumes in a shorter amount of time than anyone else. This makes them stand out to future employers, in any job that they apply for, giving them an advantage on long term stability.

The Joys Of Becoming A Physical Therapist On The Road
First, before we discuss the joys of being a travel therapist, let's talk about what that is exactly. A traveling therapist is someone who registers with a company that specializes in placing people into a job that is in need of a qualified therapist, but does not have qualified candidates locally. The therapist can accept or reject jobs of their choosing. When they accept a job it usually last around 13 weeks.
Travel pt jobs (physical therapist) come with a lot of advantages for the therapist and their family. First, the opportunity to travel is one of the main benefits of the job. This can be a great way for the therapist, and is some cases the therapist family, to see the nation for a very low cost to the therapist and their family.
Another benefit of being a travel therapist is the chance to see many world class facilities in the medical field. In addition to seeing those facilities, there is the chance to work in them. This gives the therapist valuable work experience to improve their skills and expand their knowledge in the field.
Against some more common beliefs concerning the lack of insurance in a travel pt job, insurance is one of the benefits received as a traveling therapist. Health insurance is usually offered through the "referral company" that the therapist is working with. In addition, life insurance and long term disability insurance can be a part of the insurance packages offered, making it competitive with more traditional forms of medical employment.
Another advantage of a travel pt job is the ability to make extra money without any extra hours or effort. There is a possibility of bonuses for just signing up for a job as well as for the completion of a job. Referral bonuses are another way therapist can make extra money.
A physical therapist on the road will have their meals and incidentals covered, either through an allowance or reimbursement of receipts. This really helps a therapist to save money and helps them and their family to get ahead or to catch up on old debt by reducing their living expenses.
Another benefit for a traveling therapist is the opportunity to have additional education paid for. Some companies will reimburse up to $1000/yr. for the continuing education efforts of their therapist. This not only saves money for the therapist, but it also helps to increase their knowledge and skill.
There are lots of benefits to traveling physical therapist jobs, as we have discussed. One the biggest benefits enjoyed by the therapist, is the long term stability that can be gained.

Getting All The Interviews You Can Handle? Don't Read This
If you have sent your CV to what seems like thousands of recruitment agencies and have applied for job after job and you're getting nowhere, it just could be that your CV sucks! Recruiters today have hundreds, sometimes thousands- yes, really! of CVs and application forms landing on their desk every day. Gone are the days when employers were desperate to employ anybody- your CV now needs to be outstanding to even get a look in
Get the basics right. Make absolutely sure that you include your name, address, contact details, etc. No spelling mistakes allowed. Don't rely on your spell checker, it sometimes misses contextual spelling mistakes. Use 2 sides of A4 or foolscap paper, no longer or shorter. Write in in MS Word- no fancy document software, and save it as the lowest version that your version of Word will allow
When you work for a company, you are paid to do a job. Recruiters today take it for granted that you have actually carried out your job responsibilities as you were paid to do. If you didn't, why would you be applying to them? Show how much you were worth to the companies that you worked for by detailing your key achievements in bullet point form for each of the most recent jobs that you have done. separate yourself from the other candidates
Detail your previous employment details in reverse chronological order. Start with your latest (or current) job and work back wards in time. Work experience older than approximately 8 years ago can be summarized in an "other" work experience section. Show attention to detail by giving the month and year between which you were employed
Clarity is absolutely vital in a CV. Arial, Verdana and Times New Roman are very easy fonts on the eye as long as they are printed large enough to read easily. Font sizes between 9 and 11 point are easy to read and easy on the eye. Black type on a white background is the norm. Avoid fancy fonts at all costs, particularly fonts with serifs or anything that looks like fancy handwriting. If you are physically sending your CV, print it out on decent quality paper and make sure your ink cartridge prints properly
Company names as well as the name of the recruiter, their secretary, job title, etc are vital. Make one million percent certain to spell these things correctly or your CV will probably get binned. Make sure your email address is very conventional, no stupid pet or other names please. If you need to get another email address just for job hunting, get it done. While you're at it, don't re-direct it to another email address that you may use to reply by mistake
Is there anything on your facebook, myspace, bebo and other social networking sites that you might not want an employer to see? Get rid of all stuff associated with your name that you might find even slightly distasteful as an employer. Do a search on your name and town and see what comes back. If you don't do it, you can be almost certain that an employer will

What is The Difference Between a Hospital Pharmacist and a Clinic Pharmacist
Hospital pharmacists are concerned with offering pharmaceutical services to a number of different types of hospitals, and hospital pharmacists differ from other types of pharmacists including clinic pharmacists for example. Some hospital pharmacists have more complex jobs such as complex clinical management of medication issues that a normal clinical pharmacist would not have to deal with. On the other hand, community pharmacists generally have other issues to consider including business and customer relation type issues.
On the other hand, the clinical pharmacist is someone that specifically provides patient care designed to optimize the use of medications while promoting complete overall wellness, health and the prevention of disease as well. The purpose of a clinical pharmacist is to care for patients in a health care setting. The clinical pharmacist movement originally began inside of clinics and hospitals, and clinical pharmacists are often required to collaborate with health-care professionals such as physicians and nurses for example.
While a clinical pharmacist works more hands on with patients, hospital pharmacists are typically found on the premises of the hospital but not directly associating with patients. Hospital pharmacists work within hospital pharmacies, which are designed to stock a much larger range of medications than other types of pharmacies, including some medications that are specifically designed to be investigational or specialized in nature. Hospital pharmacists work to fill prescriptions that are called for by physicians, surgeons and other medical staff on the hospital premises. They usually stay in their pharmacy location just as a normal community pharmacist would, waiting for the prescription to arrive on the behalf of a doctor or a patient.
The biggest difference between a hospital pharmacist and a clinical pharmacist, then, is the level of hands on care that is provided to the patient on the behalf of the pharmacist. Hospital pharmacists mainly deal in the prescription medications, filling scripts and working with doctors. On the other hand, the purpose of a clinical pharmacist is to do the same with the addition of more hands on patient care. This is because the clinical pharmacist jobs are spawned from a clinical pharmacy movement that came about as a need for more hands on care by physicians and other medical staff.
Both of these types of pharmacists have their purposes, especially in a medical setting. The hospital pharmacist works primarily with the medical staff to make sure that prescriptions are doled out as needed, and the clinical pharmacist works closely with the patient to make sure that the right prescriptions are called for and that health and wellness is promoted. While a hospital pharmacist is going to collaborate primarily with professional health care workers in the hospital, the clinical pharmacist is much more likely to collaborate directly with the patient in order to make sure that the right prescription medications are offered for the right purposes.
Experts recruiting team talks to hundreds of pharmacists across the country ever day. They have a database of thousands of pharmacists, any of whom might be the pharmacist you're looking for.

How to Prepare for a Career as a Nurse
Preparing for a career as a nurse requires education. Experience is helpful, as well. The amount of education that you need depends on the type of nurse that you hope to become. Here we look at the educational requirements and a few of the ways that you can get a little experience too.
During high school, it is a good idea to focus on science, mathematics and biology classes. Learning a foreign language, particularly Spanish, is helpful and in some areas, it is a practical necessity. Being able to use a computer is important, as more hospitals are changing to paperless files.
In order to get a little experience in the field, volunteering at a nursing home or hospital is a good choice. You might even be able to get a part-time job as an assistant or receptionist. When you are ready to apply for a job, those things will let your prospective employer know that you are serious about nursing. It also helps you become familiar and comfortable with the hospital environment.
There are a number of different degrees that lead to a career in nursing, starting with the LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) or LVN (Licensed Vocational Nurse), as it is called in some states. LPN or LVN programs typically last for a year and are offered by technical or vocational schools. RN (Registered Nurse) Programs are offered by two and four year colleges.
Financial aid is available for those that qualify. A number of hospitals offer work-study and diploma programs. Basic science and English classes are taken at a junior or community college, while classes in patient care are taught at the hospital. The hospital-based programs typically take 2-3 years to complete. The costs are typically lower than those of other programs, but you may be required to work a number of years after graduation, in that specific hospital, in order to qualify.
For those that already hold a Bachelor's or Master's Degree in another field, accelerated programs, which allow you to obtain the necessary education in a shorter period of time, are offered by many colleges and universities. Regardless of the amount or type of education that you have received, you will still be required to take a state examination for nurses. Once you are licensed, you can go to work in a hospital, doctor's office or (with enough education) you can go into private practice as a nurse practitioner. As you can see, nursing offers many options today.

Tips for a Physical Therapy Job Interview
You've gone to school, you have been praised during your medical internships and you know you are now ready, willing and able to take your physical therapy career to the next level. A great start, but this determination alone will not guarantee that you will obtain the Physician Therapy Jobs you want. You need to do great at your job interview.
How to Put Your Best Foot Forward Whether you are trying to apply to a medical facility or plan to assist a family with an injured loved one, the same rules of landing a dream physical therapy position will always apply. Below are some tips that can help you land a terrific job and get you well on your way to enjoying the rewarding aspects of your chosen profession:
1. Be confident, not cocky - the rule that applies in interpersonal relationships most certainly applies in the job arena. No one likes a braggart or a blowhard and that includes employers. At the same time, stuttering or acting nervous or unsure is not a good indication of how you would fare in a crisis situation. A healthy balance of self-assurance and calm are just what the doctor ordered.
2. Play up your strengths - if you have a brilliant track record with rehabilitating children or the elderly say so. Employers look for attributes that stand out and set you a part from the rest.
3. Supply references - and make sure they are reputable ones that will give you the glowing recommendation you are seeking. To that end, avoid references from unpleasant work situations. If that particular job comes up during the interview, refrain from trashing your former employer " you should simply imply that the job was not the right processional fit and move on.
4. Be personable - for example, detail what made you want to be a physical therapist. This is of interest to employers who want to ensure that you will be able to connect with patients in a way that builds and establishes long standing trust.
5. Provide a professional resume - Surprisingly, many employers are inundated with resumes that hardly cut the mustard when it comes to a professional presentation. You resume will say a lot about you. Be thoughtful when preparing it. If for any reason you feel as if you can't do a good job, there are a number of resume writing services available that are affordable and get the RN Jobs done right!
6. Arrive early - at least 10-15 minutes if possible. Being on time doesn't hurt and of course arriving late looks bad, but there is something to be said for appearing eager.
Above all, be honest and forthcoming. If you embellish or leave out pertinent job specific details, you will more than likely be found out. This, of course, will not look good. and your prospective employer may be put off.
As you try to land your dream job, keep in mind that it may not happen overnight. Sure there are times when someone walks right out of internship into a plum position, but these instances are few and far between. By remaining both realistic as well as optimistic you will inevitably find the perfect fit for your career goals and embark on a fulfilling professional journey.

Types of Speech Pathologist Jobs
A speech pathologist, or speech therapist, is a therapist who helps patients of all ages improve their communication skills. They also assist people who have difficulties swallowing. Speech pathologists diagnose and treat communication problems related to language and speech. They work in a wide variety of settings such as schools, clinics, hospitals, government, and private settings. Patients who undergo treatment with a speech therapist may have a pronunciation, language, or fluency disorder which prevents them from understanding others, or they cannot be understood by others when they try to speak to them. Speech pathologists can be found working in a wide variety of specialized rehabilitation areas.
Types of speech pathology jobs include:
Pediatric Speech Pathology Jobs: There are speech pathologist jobs that focus solely on children. The children will either have a difficult time communicating and will require special communication exercises and treatment, or they may have special needs requiring special speech therapy. The most common speech pathology jobs are in schools. Many schools have full time speech pathologists that help children work on their speech skills. There may also be a speech pathologist that travels to various schools in the district area. Many speech therapists work with teachers, administrators, special educators, and parents in effort to help the impaired child. They can also work with babies who have feeding and swallowing difficulties. As well, they can work with children in a private setting such as in their own home.. Those therapists who are self-employed will usually have a liaison with a medical facility.
Adult Speech Pathology Jobs: Some speech pathologists treat adults who have suffered brain trauma, head injury, an illness affecting their speech, or a debilitating condition resulting from an event such as a stroke. The patients will have to relearn how to speak properly. You will find these speech pathologists working in hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, and nursing homes. They can also work in private settings such as a patient's home.
Speech pathologists can work with adults with eating and swallowing problems that result from a stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, motor neuron dysfunction, Huntington's disease...etc.
Speech Pathology Research Jobs: A speech pathologist can work in a research setting such as a university or company to conduct research and carry out experiments. The goal is to find improved treatment techniques and to discover why certain speech difficulties take place.
Speech Pathology Management Jobs: A speech pathologist can be employed as a manager/supervisor in a rehabilitation facility that includes nursing homes as well as facilities dealing with developmentally delayed disabilities. Most speech pathologists are employed in pre-schools, elementary, and secondary schools. Other speech pathologists worked in hospitals, medical clinics, nursing care homes, private in home settings, individual and family orientated services, outpatient care centers and child day care services.

What can I do for the elderly at nursing homes?
They seemed to prefer to be left alone.
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how I can make the lives of the residents of this home any better.

Should nursing schools lower their standards due to the shortage of nurses?
Do you think this bill should be enforced? Should nursing schools lower their standards to beat the shortage of nurses we're experiencing? Or do you think there is an alternative, say, like increasing the salary of nursing professors so we won't be short of them?
How do we defeat the nursing shortage?! You think the bill, if it becomes law, will do any good?

New Video Message from AMA President Says House Bill Is a Good Start Toward Health Reform
"The status quo is unacceptable," says Rohack in the video message posted to YouTube and the AMA's Web site. "Let me be clear: Without a bill that can pass the House, there is no health reform this year. The debate is far from over, and the AMA is going to be at the table to improve the final legislation."
"As physicians and healers, we're at the heart of the health-care system," says Rohack. "We know our position at the center of the health-reform debate is both an honor and a serious responsibility."
The House bill includes provisions key to effective, comprehensive health reform, including:
Coverage to all Americans through health insurance market reforms
A choice of plans through a health insurance exchange
An end to coverage denials based on pre-existing conditions
Fundamental Medicare reform, including repeal of the flawed sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula
Additional funding for primary care services, without reductions on specialty care
Individual responsibility for health insurance, including premium assistance to those who need it
Prevention and wellness initiatives to help keep Americans healthy
Initiatives to address physician workforce concerns

Stop and Think! Should You Change That Answer?
?
To this day, I still succumb to the urge to change an occasional answer on a nursing exam. (No, nursing exams do not end with graduation. Whether pursuing professional certification or completing required continuing education credit, most nurses continue to confront occasional exams).
?
In my experience, changing an answer to a test question has a good chance of turning out badly. But, it has an equal chance of improving my score. Considering the final outcome of all exams over the course of my nursing studies, when it comes to changing my initial answers, it has probably all evened out in the long run.
?
Itâ??s just that we are, naturally, more inclined to remember those times when we changed our response from the correct answer to the wrong answer. Most nursing students have a tendency to berate themselves for ever touching those original responses. But, what about those times when we correctly adjusted a wrong answer? In my opinion, those changed responses are likely to be forgotten, as they are bound to weigh less heavily on our minds.
?
No doubt, we should carefully consider our reason for changing any answer. Did you read the question incorrectly on your first cursory consideration? Many nursing questions are confusing. Look for tricky sentence construction and interjected words, such as â??neverâ? or â??not.â? On those occasions when I have chosen to change my original answer, I try to have a very good reason for my final choice.
?
When your answer gives you pause, it may be a sign of your newly acquired nursing intuition. Stop and listen to your gut. Then, calmly reconsider the question. I have found this instinct to be of great value in real life nursing situations. When assessments and numbers donâ??t seem to add up correctly, or something seems amiss, it is time to stop, think and reconsider our initial response.
?
Obviously, in a testing environment, we are not generally permitted to ask our neighbor or consult an expert. However, some professors will permit students to raise their hand in order to clarify a question with the instructor. Once you are a practicing nurse, you will always want to seek out a second (or even third) opinion, in situations that tug at your nursing instinct.
?
Try this multiple choice question:
When you are unsure of your initial response on an exam:
1. Reread the question carefully.
2. Stop, think and carefully justify your reasons before changing your initial response.
3. Raise your hand to clarify the question, if needed.
4. All of the above.
?
In my opinion, the answer is â??all of the above.â? What do you think? What has been your experience with changing answers on exams? Do you think that your best response is usually your first response? Please share?your thoughts.

From Bedside to Podium: Sharing Our Experience
?
I was on stage for only a brief time. As coordinator of a regional nursing event, I was charged with reviewing guidelines and introducing a visiting speaker. It was exhilarating to simultaneously connect with a roomful of health care professionals. I felt recharged and empowered, part of something larger than the individual bedside.
?
It was like being the warm-up act at a rock concert, well sort of.
?
One day I was in scrubs and tennis shoes. The next I was in a pressed suit and uncomfortable shoes. In fact, I went through two pairs of hose that morning before someone gently chided me, â??No one wears pantyhose anymore.â? Still I stood fast in my nylons, convinced that they were the only thing protecting my feet from friction blisters.
?
Although public speaking may seem foreign to some bedside nurses, the fact is that we speak to the public every working day. We provide daily education to patients and families. We present structured and informal reports throughout our shifts, and inevitably at shift change. We provide inservices, serve on committees, and routinely make announcements over the intercom, or to waiting rooms full of strangers. While bedside nurses are not typically dressed in formal attire, we all communicate with groups of individuals every day.
?
Were you surprised at the amount of public speaking and group projects that you encountered while in nursing school? School is the perfect time to hone presentation skills. After graduation, as you start work in a clinic or at the bedside, you will continue to sharpen your communication skills.
?
Are you thinking, why would a nurse want to step away from bedside and pick up a microphone, or a pen? Perhaps it starts with a desire to stay still for a moment. We all need time to reflect and to share our experiences. And what nurse doesnâ??t dream of occasionally chucking our scrubs for a more polished look? It is natural for health care professionals to crave professional connections outside of our usual workstations.
?
I also believe that all nurses have stories to share and passions to pursue. Many of us long to share our ideas with other nurses. As professional nurses, most of us seek professional development and validation. Who doesnâ??t want to enhance own education and experience? Most of us believe we can use our bedside experience to contribute to the education of our peers.
?
We see so much in our daily roles! Why not stand up and be heard? Itâ??s not like we have to permanently abandon the bedside in order to share our ideas and experiences. We may simply wish to step away long enough to address a wider audience. Whether we congregate with other professionals as part of hospital-wide committees, professional organizations, or make the time to network (as with NurseConnect!) it is important for us to share our experiences with others.
?
Professional networking provides us with the chance to share universal joys, unique sorrows, and personal passions. It lets us connect with others outside of our usual â??box.â? And, it will likely enhance the care we provide when we do return to the bedside â?? renewed, rejuvenated, and with bursting with expanded perspective and renewed knowledge.
?
Do you think nurses are natural educators, writers or speakers? What motivates you to pursue the company of other professionals?
