Would you consider letting your 13 or 14-year old daughter go to an unsupervised costume party to hang out with strangers? I’m talking about people you’ve never met, people of any age, people who are all wearing costumes, people who can pretend to be someone they aren’t?

Would you allow her to pretend that she is 16 years old while the others pretend to be her age?

Now if this is ok with you, would you like her to exchange with these strangers her personal likes, dislikes, fantasies, friends, family experiences, and personal information about where she goes to school?

Most responsible parents would cringe at the thought of allowing something like this. It raises all kinds of red flags about safety. What’s to keep these costumed people from being predators using the party to prey upon innocent kids?

I’ve just described what can happen when kids use MySpace and other social networking sites.

It is estimated that there are over 750,000 adults cruising these sites every day looking for vulnerable kids. When they find one who has self-esteem problems or strong needs for approval or a sense of belonging they start asking innocent questions such as, “Do you like this band? Can I help you with your homework?” Before long the questions turn to, “Do you want to go private?” Then they set out to meet this kids.

In a recent sting operation, agents were able to trace a child whose profile only gave information about her name, school, and the name of her soccer team. It only took the team 30 minutes to know where to find her. She thought she was being safe.

Consider the following conversations:

14-year olds, Sandy and Amy visit at school:

Sandy: “You should have been there this morning. My folks are like so out of it. They are like so clueless! My old man is like so paranoid about the internet. This morning all he could talk about is like how dangerous it is and how some creeps are out there just looking to like take advantage of kids and stuff.”

Amy: “Right. Like what do they know? Nobody can hurt you when they don’t even know where you live.”

Sandy: “Right. Like he’s like so wrong. Sure, I know that weird stuff happens. But the guys I chat with are so cool. This one guy is so great. He wanted to see what I look like. He thinks I’m 16, so I got this really sexy picture Mike took of Sara when she was so smashed at our party, and I put her picture on my profile. Man, if my parents could see that they would freak!”

But he’s not ever going to see that it’s not me cause he’s like more interested in basketball like I am. He doesn’t even know where I live.

Last night after he saw the picture on my profile, he didn’t like try to get me to meet him. We just talked about what team I play on and what school I go to. If he was a pervert, he’d be like asking where I live and stuff like that. He’d be like wanting me to meet him in some motel or something. All he wants is for us to go private do we can have more time to like chat and stuff.

But, you got to hear how clueless my dad is. This morning he asked me if I had a profile on MySpace. I told him like sure, all kids do it. It’s no big deal. And then he goes, like he wants to see my profile, and I almost freaked cause there’s a lot of stuff on there that mom and him can’t like handle cause they’re like so last century. But he said he didn’t have time so he’d like look at it tomorrow night. That is so cool cause it gives me time to clean it up. Parents are so clueless!”

Mom and Dad on the previous evening:

Dad: “I’m really becoming concerned about the number of bad things I’m hearing about the internet and how many predators are online each day cruising these chat rooms looking for kids who are vulnerable.”

Mom: “The last thing I heard was that there are over 750,000 predators out there mining kids’ web sites looking for kids who are vulnerable with low self-esteem, family problems, and strong needs to feel a sense of belonging.”

Dad: “It’s time we found out what Sandy is doing on the Internet. As much as I hate being nosy, we’ve got a responsibility to protect her. She’s so na?ve that she could easily become a victim. I’m going to ask if she’s on MySpace. She’s going to have to show me, or I’m taking away the computer. After I do that we’re going to do what the FBI advises. We’re going to put that thing in a public place with the screen facing the door.”

Mom: “I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that she’s already on that site. Based on what I’ve been hearing about how the kids talk on those chat sites, she’s probably going to be embarrassed and afraid to show us.

I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you tell here that you’re going to look at it, but that you don’t have time right now? Tell her that you’ll look at it later. It will give her time to clean it up and avoid a big fight. That way it will be easier to deal with the situation.”

Dad: “I like it. Then shell believe that we’re totally clueless. That always makes her happy.”

Mom and Dad are wise to be concerned about Sandy’s use of interned social networking sites. The FBI says that the internet is the single most important tool of child predators.

The authors of Love and Logic are also concerned about the amount of time kids are spending alone at their computer networking. Kids can meet their needs to feel accepted, needed, or build confidence in much more long lasting ways.

Kids who concern themselves with what they can for others gain more self-satisfaction. Strongly consider teaming with your teen once a week to volunteer at the hospital or retirement homes. You will be astonished at the changes in attitude this produces. Nothing heals the heart better than dong helping others does something they can’t do for themselves.

We can expect Sandy to go ballistic when mom and dad put the breaks on her use of internet networking. Let’s hope her parents don’t give in. Many people have grown up to be healthy, productive adults without putting themselves on display for the world to view on the internet.

LOVE AND LOGIC BECOMES MORE AND MORE VALUABLE AS THE WORLD BECOMES MORE DANGEROUS

We don’t know if Sandy will find some sneaky way to get around their new rules. However, we do know that teens can find a way. What we do know is that it is a much more dangerous world for kids than in the past. And the dangers are growing. It is almost impossible to protect kids from the proliferation of temptations.

KIDS CAN BE THEIR OWN BEST PROTECTORS

This underscores the importance of raising kids with Love and Logic. The safest kid is the one who understands that bad things can happen to good people when bad decisions are made. This is the youngster who learns that he/she will be held accountable for the choices made. This child who has developed that internal voice that keeps whispering, “I wonder how my next decision is going to affect me.”

ADVICE FROM THE FBI

Monitor use of the Internet at all times. Discuss safeguards with children and explain the need for parental involvement in setting up restrictions for access.

Place the computer in a public place with the screen facing the door.

Don’t post personal information on a profile or a friend’s profile.

Ensure that children are not misrepresenting their age.

Read and exercise safety tips listed on a social network’s site and report inappropriate behavior to the Web site.

Restrict children’s profiles and groups on social networking sites to people they know. Do not allow access to people a child has met through the Internet. Most sites allow parents to block questionable people from contacting their children.

Report child pornography and other incidents of sexual exploitation of children to cybertipline dot com, which is run by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Complaints that may involve violation of federal law and referred to the FBI. Violations of state and local law are referred to the appropriate authorities.

Lugging around baby stuff all the time can prove to be quite cumbersome and tiring, especially if you are using the wrong type of bag. Most parents use the usual shoulder-style diaper bags to hold their baby’s bottle, diapers, towels and wipes et cetera, but with all the things that you are forced to carry every time you go out with a kid, these bags can put quite a strain on your shoulder. If you are also carrying your baby on a sling, then your shoulders can become tired and sore every time you venture out for even a couple of hours.

It is because of this reason that most new parents curtail their activities. After all, how active can they be when both their shoulders are laden with baby and stuff? However, if you are a parent who enjoys active-lifestyle parenting, or is forced to be active due to a hectic daily routine, then a sling diaper bag could end up easing life considerably for you.

A number of pioneering bags and accessory companies have come out with sling diaper bags, which are sling back versions of the erstwhile boring and cumbersome diaper bags. These diaper bags, which can be hung with a single strap across the chest, leaves your whole front and hands free for all kinds of activities.

Sling diaper bags, which have been especially created for parents who travel with kids, have everything that you expect from a conventional diaper bag, but they are definitely easier to carry and more stylish than regular diaper bags. These bags come with a number of pockets for milk, water bottles and formula. Some also feature separate compartments for keeping your box of wipes, towels, your baby’s blanket, and even a changing pad. The best part about sling diaper bags is that they also have enough space to stow mommy’s stuff as well. So don’t be surprised when you find a bag that has separate spaces for your wallet, cell phone, PDA and your house and car keys.

Parents who are into sports and excursions can choose sling diaper bags that have exterior pockets for towels and water bottles. Others who want to carry around their work with them will be happy to know that some sling diaper bags even have spaces for your laptop and connectivity cables. By choosing the right kind of sling bag, you can always carry around whatever you need the most apart from your baby’s essentials.

One thing that you should keep in mind when buying sling diaper bags is quality over price. This does not mean that you should buy a bag that is costly, but it definitely means that you should look for value for money. If you are buying online, make sure that you buy from a reputable company and one which has a customer friendly return policy. It would also help if you buy a sling diaper bag that is waterproof on the outside and water resistant inside. This would not only save your precious belongings from getting wet, but also help in cleaning your bag up in a jiffy.

Buy a bag that is machine washable for convenience and one which has ample space for both fresh and used diapers. This would ensure that you actually get every penny’s worth back when you put your sling diaper bag to use.

In considering going into the nursing profession, there are a few priorities that are crucial to determining future success. When individuals look at all of the criteria it becomes clear which schools would be a better choice. The first criteria that many people face when going back to school is financial. Some of the factors that need to be considered about the school are for instance, how much will it cost per credit hour?

Cost per credit hour depends on the school, whether or not it is accredited, a community college, a private college or a four year university. The other criteria for determining which nursing school to attend, is of course whether or not one can obtain financial aid. Financial aid is available for many that are in the working class. There are also Federal loans that can be obtained with very low interest rates. It would be considered a wise step to visit the financial aid office of a college or university near ones home to find out about the availability of government funding.

The next criterion, which may or may not be important for some, is the vicinity of the nursing school. For many whom work and plan to attend school, the closer the school’s location the easier the commute. In this society of multitasking, the closer that work, home and school are to one another the better. Also, gas is now a real concern. Driving fifty miles may not have been a deterrent to some a few years ago, but certainly with the cost of fuel now days; it has become a real deterrent to many. Along with the schools vicinity, one needs to look at whether or not the nursing school is accredited.

If someone is considering obtaining an Associates Degree in Nursing from a non accredited nursing school, then if they decide to go on to their Bachelors of Nursing, they will find that they cannot continue. The reason for this is due to the following; an accredited Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program, requires and accredited degreed Nursing Program from the two year Associate Degreed Nurse. What this implies is that the two years Associate Degreed Nurse who graduated from a non accredited nursing school will not be able to transfer in their nursing courses to the four year university.

This may be a real stumbling block to those nurses who wish to go on for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. It is also important to know how the nursing school graduates perform on the NCLEX?, the National Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. When there is only a forty or fifty percent passing rate on schools National Boards, this should raise a red flag for the prospective nursing student. There is no greater disappointment then failing the boards on the first time around.

Many hospitals will hire graduate nurses prior to their sitting for the national boards, on the premise that if they fail their national boards, one of two things will take place; 1.their job as graduate nurse with the hospital will be terminated, 2. they will be demoted to a lesser position with less money, 3. they will be demoted to a lesser position with less money and be offered a second chance with a specified time frame to sit for the national boards once more. None of the previous scenarios is an attractive option to any graduate nurse. Therefore the percentage of students that pass the boards at a particular school should also be included in the criteria for choosing a particular nursing school. However, do not judge the school too harshly on their rate of students who do or do not pass the national boards.

The reason for this is due to the fact that some schools require a high grade point average, such as a four point zero just to get into the nursing program. This requirement will of course skew the results of passing scores in favor of those with higher grade point averages. These criteria will of course preclude many from even entering the nursing program, since many students are not four point zero in academics. Generally speaking, an average of seventy percent and above passing rate on the national nursing boards is a good predictor of the nursing school. But, it is up to the individual as to how much time and effort is put into the program as to how much they get out of the program.

The nursing programs in general are very physically demanding, time consuming and mentally challenging. It is a very serious profession and there are those who find out that the field of nursing is not for them very early in the program. The best advice to those deciding on which nursing school to attend, is to use the above mentioned criteria only as a guide, because it will be up to the individual how well they do in the final analysis.

Nurses are trained to learn and apply patient assessment skills. These skills are the cornerstone of being a proficient nurse. The knowledge and procedures for developing these skills are learned in the first two years of nursing school and honed in clinical as the student nurse takes on a greater patient load. The “Standards of Care” that are the basis of nursing include the following:

Standard 1. Assessment

In an assessment the nurse must use all of his or her senses. These include hearing, touching, visual, and therapeutic communication. The cephalocaudal approach is most always used. In other words, assessing a patient from head to toe. The nurse must self aware to be able to conduct a thorough assessment. Data collection forms the basis for the next step in standards of care which is diagnosis. A nurse must have all the necessary equipment, such as a scale, tape measure, thermometer, sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope and pen light. The setting is also very important in doing an assessment. If a client is nervous or anxious they may not be as willing to answer questions that the nurse asks or to be examined. Obtaining a quiet environment is not always possible, especially in an emergency situation. Therefore, the nurse must be very observant, and try to get as much pertinent data as possible to formulate an nursing diagnosis For example, when doing an assessment on a client that is complaining of severe stomach pain, asking them what foods they last ate would give the nurse more pertinent information than asking them how many brothers or sisters they have.

Standard II. Diagnosis

A nursing diagnosis is not a medical diagnosis. A medical diagnosis would be the medical condition of “Diabetes”. Whereas, a nursing diagnosis would be, “Altered Tissue Perfusion”, related to decreased oxygenation of tissues as evidenced by a pulse oximetry of 92% , secondary to the medical condition of “Emphysema”. A nursing diagnosis is a formal statement that relates to how a client reacts to a real or perceived illness. In making a diagnosis the nurse attempts to formulate steps to assist the client in alleviating and or mediating how they respond to real or perceived illness.

Standard III. Outcome Identification

In this process the nurses uses the assessment and diagnosis to set goals for the patient to achieve to attain a greater level of wellness. Such goals may simply be that the patient now comprehends the regime of testing their blood sugar, or perhaps a new mother gleans a sense of security now that she has been instructed in the correct method of breast feeding. The nurse must plan the goals that the client is to achieve around the clients ability. For instance, the goal that a client will walk normally after two days of having knee surgery is unrealistic, in the sense that the client’s knee will not be completely healed. However, the goal that the client will be able to demonstrate the correct use of crutches, would be more realistic. This goal is also measurable, since the patient will be in the hospital and the nurse can teach and observe a return demonstration. Therefore, the goals or outcomes for the client must also be measurable.

Standard IV. Planning

The planning standard is designed around the clients activities while in the hospital environment. Therefore the nurse must plan to teach and demonstrate tasks when the patient is free to learn. This would involve administering pain medication prior to learning to walk with crutches or waiting until after a patient has finished a meal before teaching on how to use a syringe. The atmosphere should be conducive for the client to learn.

Standard V. Implementation

This standard requires that the nurse put to the test the methods and steps designed to help the client achieve their goals. In implementation, the nurse performs the actions necessary for the client’s plan. If teaching is one of the goals then the nurse would document the time, place, method and information taught.

Standard VI. Evaluation

Evaluation is the final standard. In this step the nurse makes the determination whether or not the goals originally set for the client have been met. If the nurse concludes that the goal or goals have not been met, then the plan has to be revised and documented as such. Goals therefore should be timely and measurable. If the client’s goal was to use crutches successfully, and the client was able to perform a repeat demonstration for the nurse, then the goal was met.

The above standards are the cornerstone of the nursing profession. These standards take time and experience to learn and to implement. Experience is the best teacher, and a nurse should continuously strive for excellence in their care of patients, and recognizing how to help patients achieve a higher level of physical and emotional wellness.

In the nursing profession, more now than ever, the ability to think critically is essential. The responsibilities of a Registered Nurse have increased over the years. In correlation with this increase in responsibility comes the additional increase in educational prerequisites and core requisites required to achieve a degree in Nursing. The ANA (American Nursing Association) Standards has set forth the framework necessary for critical thinking in the application of the “nursing process”. The nursing process is the tool by which all nurses can equally become proficient at critical thinking. The nursing process contains the following criteria:

Assessment

Diagnosis

Planning

Implementation

Evaluation

It is in the application of each of these processes that the nurse may become proficient at critical thinking. It is important to look at the components that describe critical thinking in nursing, The table below lists components that define the critical thinking process. There is much more that goes into critical thinking than what is listed in the table. The table is a rough draft of the process.

CRITICAL THINKING COMPONENTS

Entails purposeful, informed, outcome focused thinking, that requires careful identification of specific problems and other physiological and psychological factors that affect the clients position on the health and wellness continuum.

The process is driven by the client, the client’s family and other health team members who are also collaborating in ensuring essential client care.

Specific educational knowledge base and level of experience in applying that knowledge in client care. (Nursing School to graduate nurse to experienced nurse) As the level of experience of the nurse increases so will the scientific knowledge base that the nurse applies.

Proficiency in the application of the institutions standards, policies and procedures.

Application of the humanistic standards of caring in conjunction with the nursing process, to holistically treat the clients response to an actual or perceived illness.

Constant evaluation and re-evaluation of the nursing process to determine the clients level of wellness

Nurses learn critical thinking via application with experience. Experience is the best teacher. But it is equally important to know that the process is being applied correctly. Many institutions will ensure that this pathway is followed by enlisting new nurses in a eight to ten week orientation program. During this time the new nurse will learn about the polices and procedures of that institution and what type of documentation is used for charting purposes. Also, the new nurse will have an experienced mentor who they will follow and who will evaluate their performance as well.

Documentation is an essential part of the critical thinking process for the nurse. Every institution places emphasis on documentation. It is said, “that if it is not documented, then it was not done”. Since the nursing process is a scientific process. In scientific research, all things are documented. In this documentation, researches can look back to see if the results were due to interventions and whether or not the interventions were successful or have to be altered. The documentation process helps the nurse accomplish the same goals. Many times procedures are used that have unproven efficacy.

In it is this framework of critical thinking and documentation that such procedures can be either continued or eliminated, depending on the efficacy of the research. In other words, does the procedure actually improve, help or otherwise jeopardize the client’s health. An example of the critical thinking process and scientific reasoning is in the efficacy of taking a rectal temperature of new born infants. Currently, this procedure is still widely accepted. However the scientific approach is to ask the following, is the procedure safe, is it necessary, and can an axillary temp be used in place of the rectal temp? In answering these questions, the nurse can better evaluate whether the efficacy of taking a rectal temp on a infant should be continued.

This is just one example of how the critical thinking process is used within the nursing profession. The scientific approach using critical thinking helps the nurse develop evidence based practice. It is through “evidence based practice” that the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) rates the performance of hospitals. Further research is still continuing in delineating the intricacies of the nursing process and the integration of critical thinking. All health care professionals are encouraged to pursue this type of research in their practice to ensure the quality of client care and enhance the validity of their profession.
