The Road Transport (Offences) Regulation 2005 has penalty points FOR NURSES and health professionals for not taking blood samples for a number of reasons on a patient who has been involved in a road traffic accident.

The Road Transport (Offences) Regulation 2005 has penalty points FOR NURSES and health professionals for not taking blood samples for a number of reasons on a patient who has been involved in a road traffic accident.

The area that in some ways governs our ethics and morals. It may be ‘right’ to do something a certain way, however the legislation does not think so, so we must ensure that we follow the legal letter of the law in some instances.

This is the basis for my current thinking with our profession. While we are acutely aware (and as we discussed in the ‘scope of practice’ discussion) of our moral, ethical and humanitarian responsibilities to assist – we do not know all of the answers, but there is always another colleague to discuss things with or consult.

When it comes to the legal world – which piece of legislation applies to this scenario? how is it applied? are there loopholes that will be identified if we do ‘x’, how do I find it quickly?

I am pleased to note that with our practice as nurses, unless we are clearly negligent or remiss of our ‘standard of practice’, our employer will always ‘take the hit’ for the nursing profession – when there is an incident, the root cause analysis looks at the ‘systems’ before the people. It looks to what part of the system, be it process, protocol, procedure, training, skills maintenance and alike the ‘system’ has failed on. If the system had no fault, only then may it come down to the individual and their response in the situation.

During my undergrad, I thoroughly enjoyed the “Nursing and the law”, we were taught by Meg Wallace (who was also the author of our textbook), and looking at the intricacies of when certain aspects apply to situations… when was it restraint, versus seclusion, versus isolation etc. However in practice, many of these decisions need to be made very quickly and understanding our legal obligation to keep our patients and their families safe can be tricky.

a quick search on the NSW Legislation website for ‘nurse’ there are 44 results
a quick search on the ACT Legislation website for ‘nurse’ there are 124 results

Why such a vast difference? expansion of our role. As we grow as a profession (in point for the ACT is the Nurse Practitioner), the roles and responsibilities require the regulation under acts. A number of new legislation in the ACT pertain to Nurse Practitioner regulation.
But with 124 pieces of legislation, where to we start? what is the topics we are investigating? why is the word ‘nurse’ in the Road Transport regulation??

Re: Use of Personal Communication Devices in Patient Care Settings
Hello Class,

In the ADN program in which I teach, our student use an app called Nursing Central on their phones. It has disease, drug and lab information readily available to them in the clinical area. When they first started to use it on their clinical rotations a few years ago, hospital staff were quite wary of this, thinking that the students were using their phones for personal purposes. Since then, I see nurses in both acute and long term care using their smart phones to look up patient related information.

What’s the policy where you work? Is staff use of personal devices getting in the way of patient care?

Or, if you are more recently a student, what was the policy at your school?

The PSC/Bonner Leader application consists of a cover letter and resume.

The PSC/Bonner Leader application consists of a cover letter and resume.
In a one-page, single-spaced cover letter, applicants should communicate why they are applying to the program and why they are an ideal candidate based on their experiences, skill sets, and passions.In a one-page resume, applicants should include their contact information, activities, awards, and community service experiences.
The Six Common Commitments

The Common Commitments were written and decided upon by Bonner students-the Congress Representatives, who continue to ensure their integration in their campus programs. These common commitments play a key role in uniting Bonners of diverse passions and interests in making change. These commitments are crucial for making us a coherent community. We believe that all Bonners are committed to:

Community Building
We establish and sustain a vibrant community of place, personal relationships, and common interests.
Spiritual Exploration
We explore personal belief while respecting the spiritual practices of others.
Diversity
We respect and embrace the many dimensions of diversity in our private and public lives.
International Perspective
We develop international understanding that enables us to participate successfully in a global society.
Civic Engagement
We participate intentionally as a citizen in the democratic process, actively engaging in public policy and direct service.
Social Justice
We advocate for fairness, impartiality, and equality while addressing systemic social and environmental issues.

Committed to the belief that an education includes both fostering students’ intellectual growth and developing them into socially responsible citizens, President Harris created the Presidential Service Corps (PSC) program in 2002. Since then, the PSC has grown to include up to 60 students per year. In 2007, the Presidential Service Corps partnered with the Corella and Bertram F. Bonner Foundation to further develop student civic leaders at University and form the Presidential Service Corps/Bonner Leader Program (PSC/Bonner).
Students in the PSC/Bonner Leader program commit to serving 300 hours of community service per year. In addition, students participate in training and enrichment activities that help them develop skills that propel them along the Bonner Foundation Student Developmental Model. The epitome of our core values in action, the PSC/Bonner Leaders are a distinguished group of students who live, learn, and work together, devoting themselves to responsible citizenship and inspiring others to do the same.

Education

High School empowers young men and women to become faithful citizens and to develop in all aspects of life: spiritual, intellectual, moral, emotional, social and physical.
High School graduates continue their education and carry with them a guide for Catholic Christian living: vibrant faith, respect for human dignity, strong belief in the values of family, promotion of justice, service to community and country, and the desire to make a positive difference in society.
High School is enriched by a legacy of Catholic tradition spanning four generations. We draw strength and inspiration from our past as we make an exceptional Catholic education available and accessible to our future leaders.
