Veteran Nurse of 15 Years in Intensive Care Nursing Finds Career Diversity as Best Prevention for Burnout

Franklin/Nashville, TN (PRWEB) June 17, 2006 -– Veteran nurse of 15 years in intensive care nursing finds career diversity as best prevention for burnout; on the job back injury big profession breaker.

“If the next face you remember seeing after you clutch your chest in pain is mine…you’re really really sick!” says Jeff Seely, RN of Nashville, TN. He has been an intensive care nurse in various specialties for 15 years. Surgical, Med-Surg, and now Cardiac, he’s seen quite a lot. In a profession that is riddled with challenging issues he didn’t want to be another washed out statistic. “The burnout rate is high, especially in intensive care”, he says after a long 12-hour night shift. He’s right. With an aging population the demands on the nursing profession are growing, particularly registered nurses. There are currently 125,000 open RN positions nationwide and far too few nursing school graduates to fill them. As the population ages so does the existing pool of nurses. Burnout and injury are big reasons why many choose to or are forced to leave their jobs.

Industry Expert Comments on PCWorld Article about Computer Essentials

Industry expert in defragmentation, B. Boyers, reveals the epidemic disease of fragmentation through his commentary on a recent PC World article. It may or may not be a sad comment on the current state of technology, but as can be seen in a recent PCWorld article on Computer Essentials*, the insidious disease of disk file fragmentation is still very much alive and infecting.

In the age-old debate of “is it a bug or a feature”, fragmentation must fall square in the middle. A long time ago, files were stored wholly on a hard drive. It wasn’t long, though, before someone saw this as a problem, realizing that a lot of disk space was being wasted when files too large to be stored on a disk, simply weren’t. And thus was born file fragmentation—if files were split into pieces (fragments), disk space, which at the time came at a premium, could be fully utilized. Problem solved!
