Nurse Vs. Nurse Practitioner: What's the Difference
Nurse practitioners and nurses are both healthcare workers specializing in patient care, rehabilitation and the education of patients and their families. Aside from education, one of the biggest differences is that nurse practitioners can prescribe medications. Continue reading to learn more.
What's the Difference Between a Nurse and a Nurse Practitioner?
Registered nurses focus on treating and educating patients while assisting medical doctors. They often help patients establish a plan of care, and their responsibilities may include rehabilitative activities, such as administering medication, maintaining fluid IV lines, administering therapy and recording patient observations for doctors' assessments. Registered nurses also work in public health settings and may be involved in establishing community health centers and maintaining a way of life for patients and families throughout a specific area.
Aspiring nurses have three educational pathways from which to choose. The first is to pursue an associate's degree in nursing, which allows the graduate to go into an entry-level position as a registered nurse. Administered by hospitals, a diploma is another option and involves both classroom and on-site clinical training. Both of these programs take 2-3 years to complete.
Students may also opt to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). This degree program lasts four years and mixes nursing courses with general education and humanities classes. This final option allows graduates to enter advanced degree programs in nursing. Registered nurses with bachelor's degrees may also earn more pay than their counterparts with lesser degrees.
All three options qualify graduates to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. Students must pass this test to become registered and obtain their mandatory license.
Nurse Practitioner
Nurse practitioners are advanced practice nurses who are able to prescribe medications, unlike registered nurses. Similar to registered nurses, nurse practitioners can practice primary care or specialize in such areas as women's health, neonatology or pediatrics. They often perform duties outside the realms of a registered nurse, including ordering and performing diagnostic tests and x-rays, treating chronic conditions like diabetes and infections, managing patients' overall care and counseling patients.
The only way to become a nurse practitioner involves earning a master's degree in nursing or higher. Students need to have a bachelor's degree prior to applying to a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program. Although individuals with a bachelor's degree in another field may apply, a BSN is the recommended background. Many MSN programs encourage applicants to work as a registered nurse for at least a year before applying. Students generally take two years to complete the master's degree in nursing.

MALONEY COL. ELBERT SEVIER MALONEY "Mack" USMC (Ret.) Colonel Elbert Sevier "Mack" Maloney, USMC Ret., author of Chapman's Piloting and Seamanship, the bible of small boat handling, died January 6, 2014, in Pompano Beach, Florida. He was 94. Col Maloney was born in Richmond, VA in 1919, and grew up in Virginia and Washington, DC. He graduated with honors from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1940 with a BS in Electrical Engineering and later received his Master of Engineering Administration from The George Washington University in 1964. He was a member of the honor societies Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, and Eta Kappa Nu. Col Maloney enlisted in the
US Marine Corps
Reserves in 1936 while in college and commissioned in the USMC in 1940. During World War II he served in the Pacific theater; with the Second Marine Division on Guadalcanal and the First Marine Division on Okinawa. After the war Col Maloney was stationed in China from 1945-1947 assisting the Chinese Republic Army. He went on to hold many positions in the Marine Corps, the
US Navy
missile R&D programs, and ended his military career as Assistant Director of the Defense Communications Agency, which he helped establish in 1960. He retired from the Marine Corps in 1964 with the rank of colonel. In 1953 Mack acquired his first boat while stationed in Norfolk, VA. He joined the USPower Squadron (USPS) to learn how to properly operate and maintain his new boat. During this time, advanced electronics were moving from the military and commercial ships onto private yachts. Recognizing that boaters needed training for the new marine electronics, Mack developed a course for the USPS. Mack's work brought him to the attention of Mr. Charles Chapman, author of Chapman's, who, in 1964, was looking to expand coverage of marine electronics. He asked Mack to submit a chapter on marine electronics and then to update several additional chapters. When Mr. Chapman retired in 1967, he personally requested that Mack take over the principal authorship of Chapman's, a position Mack held until 2009 when he became the senior editor. After retiring from the Marine Corps, Mack served as president of the Capitol Institute of Technology in Washington, D.C. from 1965 to 1967 before taking up boating and writing full time. He authored several books in addition to Chapman's, including two editions of U.S. Naval Institute's Dutton's Navigation & Piloting and articles for Motor Boating and other nautical magazines. A lifelong Amateur Radio operator (W4PWX/W4CGG), Mack was instrumental in setting up a radio communication link between US troops in China after World War II and their families back home. Mack was a senior member of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers. He held a US Coast Guard license as Master of Near-Coastal Motor Vessels, was a Director of Education for USPS from 1971 to 1976, member and Vice-Chairman of the
U.S. Coast Guard
Navigation Safety Advisory Council, Chairman Emeritus of the National Advisory Council of Boat US, and a technical expert for maritime case law. Mack Maloney married twice. His first wife, of 46 years, Mary Queally Maloney, died in 1988. His second wife, of 23 years, Florine Carley Maloney, died in 2013. Survivors include his son from his first marriage, Elbert S. Maloney, Jr. and daughter-in-law Nancy Blasco Maloney of Arlington, VA, stepson Keith Carley of Pompano Beach, FL, sister-in-law Kathleen Salata Smith Jeschke of Chevy Chase, MD, three grandchildren and five great grandchildren, two nephews, and a niece. He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Scheduled Computer System Down Time and Reduced Service over Spring BreakPosted Mar. 22, 2010
UPDATE on 3/23 -- phones are now expected to be operational all week, but the shutdown days are now MONDAY and WEDNESDAY (not Thursday as previously planned). These changes are now reflected below.
Both Computer Science and Mathematical Science computer systems will be subject to down time and reduced service over the Spring break. The exact schedule will depend on progress and environmental conditions. The current estimate of the outages is below.
For Spring Break plus the weekends before and after (beginning the afternoon of Friday March 26 until the afternoon of Monday April 5), there will be reduced service in general, similar to that during the Winter break -- access to file servers, mail and web, but not necessarily to any research machines or from labs or individual offices.
- For the extended weekend BEFORE Spring Break (afternoon of Friday March 26 through the morning of Monday March 28), there will be COMPLETE shutdowns for SHORT PERIODS only
- For the BEGINNING of Spring Break (6:00am Monday March 29 until around 9:00am on Tuesday March 30), there will be a COMPLETE shutdown, including the building network.
- For the MIDDLE of Spring Break (6:00am Wednesday Mach 31 until around 9:00am on Thursday April 1), there will be a COMPLETE shutdown, including the building network.
- For the extended weekend AFTER Spring Break (Friday April 2 through afternoon of Monday April 5), there will be COMPLETE shutdowns for SHORT PERIODS only
Note that this construction means that normal student labs and access to equipment will not be available over the Spring break. Instructors are advised to plan accordingly and not schedule student homework or projects, which would require computer access during that period. It is intended that phone service will be maintained in the building during the period.
Again, we apologize for this necessary down time, but the Spring break is the occasion that will cause least disruption to the operations of both departments.

This application is a National Stage application under 35 U.S.C. �371 and claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. �119(a) of International Application No. PCT/112004/001059 having an International Filing Date of Nov. 17, 2004, which claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/520,533, having a filing date of Nov. 17, 2003.
The present invention relates to an implant for the pelvis and, more particularly, to an implant which can be held in place without suturing.
Pelvic floor disorders include cystocele, rectocele, enterocele and uterine and vaginal prolapse. These disorders are often a consequence of weakness or damage to pelvic muscles and ligaments, caused by childbearing, hysterectomy, connective tissue defects, atrophy, or physical injury. Two basic approaches to remedying this condition have been the use of a removable device known as a pessary, or surgery to replace or repair parts of the pelvic supporting structures.
A pessary is a vaginal insert, having a specified geometric configuration such as, for example, a cube or a donut, which can be temporarily placed in the vaginal canal. Examples of such devices are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,645,137; U.S. Pat. No. 6,189,535, and many others.
The surgical approach includes reconstruction of the damaged support tissue using sutures or replacement of the support tissue with an implant or device. An example of such a device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,786,861 to Pretorius. The device disclosed therein is a sling having a flexible elongate member and a distensible portion, and is configured to be inserted dorsally between the urethra and pelvic bone, with ends of the elongate member attachable to retropubic or ischial structures: Another such device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,755,781 to Gellman. The device disclosed therein is a medical sling having one or more cuts are disposed in the material. The cuts on the sling provide open areas to permit tissue ingrowth and crosslinkng when the sling is implanted inside the body of the patient. These types of slings and supporting devices are configured to treat urinary incontinence rather than prolapse, and as such, they are generally located under the urethra or bladder neck.
Other devices for implantation within a pelvis are described. U.S. Pat. No. 6,592,515 to Thierfelder, for example, discloses an implant useful for a sacral colpopexy procedure for treating vaginal prolapse. The implant includes tissue engagement portions, which are configured for anchoring the implant into bone. World Publication WO 00/27304 to Ory et al. discloses a suspension device for treating prolapse and urinary incontinence, including a suspension cord, non-absorbable material, and anchoring parts which are designed to be fixed by suturing or stapling means to implanting walls.
All of these devices require suturing to anchor the device to the anatomical structures within the pelvis. This leads to difficulties and potential complications, as sharp needles must be placed deep within the pelvis into an area which is difficult to access. Furthermore, the stability of these implants depends on the strength of the suture, a material which can sometimes tear, and on the strength of the supporting ligaments, which may also be weak due to disease, old age, or wear from childbirth. The sutures are inflexible, and cannot accommodate dynamic pressures from the abdomen above. Finally, the use of sutures requires sharp corners or edges on the implant material, which are not suited to the contoured shape of the anatomy of the pelvis.
There is thus a widely recognized need for, and it would be highly advantageous to have, a surgical implant devoid of the above limitations.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a device for implantation in a pelvis. The device includes a sheet having a perimeter and a frame for holding the sheet at a portion of the perimeter, wherein the frame includes a first arm, a second arm, and a connecting element connecting the first arm and the second arm.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a device for treating prolapse of a pelvic organ. The device includes a flexible sheet and a frame in contact with the sheet, the frame having a first configuration in which the frame is compressed, thereby causing the sheet to be configured in a compressed position, and the frame having a second configuration in which the frame is expanded, thereby allowing the sheet to be configured in an expanded position.
According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a sutureless implantable device for supporting a pelvic organ, the device having contoured edges.
According to further features in preferred embodiments of the invention described below, the sheet includes a first layer and a second layer, and the frame is positioned between the first and second layers. The sheet generally has a substantially flat configuration, and is a mesh, a sheath, a diaphragm or a divider and may be comprised of biological material.
According to yet further features in preferred embodiments of the invention, the frame comprises biodegradable, flexible material. The connecting element can include a pivot or a ratchet, and may be an angled member. Alternatively, the connecting element comprises an elastic material. In preferred embodiments, the device also includes an adjusting element for controlling a proximity of the first arm of the frame to the second arm. The adjusting element can be a wire, a ratcheting device or a pulley wire.
According to yet another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for treating prolapse of a pelvic organ. The method includes providing a device having a sheet, and a frame in contact with the sheet, the frame having a first configuration in which the frame is compressed and having a second configuration in which the frame is expanded, compressing the frame into the first configuration, introducing the device through a vagina, inserting the device into a space between the vagina and the pelvic organ, and expanding the frame into the second configuration, wherein the expanding includes anchoring the frame into an anatomical structure.
According to further features in preferred embodiments of the invention described below, the compressing and expanding can include pulling a wire, ratcheting, or bending a portion of the frame. The inserting can include inserting the device into a space between the vagina and a bladder, or between the vagina and a rectum.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. In case of conflict, the patent specification, including definitions, will control. In addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.

Endangered Earth Journal Features Interview with Liz Bennett, Vice President for Species Conservation at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), for World Environment Day
Endangered Species blog ℠Endangered Earth Journal.com´ is featuring an interview with Liz Bennett, Vice President for Species Conservation at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), for World Environment Day.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) June 06, 2012
As part of its ongoing interview series on endangered species, Endangered Earth Journal.com is featuring an interview with Liz Bennett, Vice President for Species Conservation at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), for World Environment Day.
In her interview with Endangered Earth Journal.com, Bennett says she has never considered any other career than working in conservation.
"I always enjoyed wildlife, so I studied zoology as an undergraduate student in UK. It was then that I realized how so many species that I cared about were becoming threatened, so felt that I just had to try to do something about it; so I never even considered doing any other job except working in the field of conserving wildlife."
It is apparent she has done her ℠job´ well.
Bennett´s services to conservation have been recognized by her being awarded the "Golden Ark" award by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in 1994, the "Pegawai Bintang Sarawak" (PBS) by the Sarawak State Government in 2003, "Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" (MBE) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2005, and D.Sc. (honoris causa) by Nottingham University, UK in 2008.
When asked if she is ℠hopeful´ or ℠concerned´ for the future of species facing extinction Bennett´s reply was a mixture of both hope and concern.
"It´s a complex question. To work in wildlife conservation, you have to be somewhat optimistic or you would give up! I´m relatively hopeful that, for many species, we can conserve them in at least some well-protected local areas. But what we have to do is expand that out to conserve species across much larger parts of the landscape, really scaling efforts up if we´re not going to lose massive numbers of species. I´m less optimistic about that, but it´s a goal for which we have to strive."
You can find Liz Bennett´s complete interview at the Endangered Earth Journal.com.
According to the International Union for Conservation and Nature (IUCN) the abundance of species in the world has declined by 40% between 1970 and 2000. Species present in rivers, lakes and marshlands have declined by 50%. The IUCN estimates of the 52,017 species they have assessed, 17,936 species are threatened with extinction.
Of the world´s 5,490 mammals, 78 are extinct or extinct in the wild, and 188 are critically endangered, 450 endangered and 492 vulnerable. And 1,895 of the planet´s 6,285 amphibians are in danger of extinction. Making them one of the most threatened groups of species known to date.
The author of the 'Endangered Earth Journal.com' Endangered Species Journalist Craig Kasnoff. created 'Endangered Earth Journal.com' to promote the plight of endangered species and ways to save them from extinction.

Oh us! We fit in there somehow! I make up nice structured schedules every fall so I can throw them out the window within 2-3 days! I spent this weekend reorganizing all our wonderful books and materials into lovely, neat organized sections of organizationalism that are so organized and neat and ready to go...bet we don't use half this stuff when we decide to go on a field trip or just read a book instead!
This year(I'm teaching fifth and first grade "this" year) we plan on using Language Lessons for the Elementary Child/Little Ones(Charlotte Mason) and Step by Step Grammar(structured), Harcourt for Math(workbooks) but we also use Noble Knights of Knowledge(Waldorf). We use FIAR periodically to switch it up. We have tons of science curricula...but I don't know why because we unschool science! I have a tendency to think good Dover coloring books(and discussion) are valid lessons. Even with my ten year old.
We throw unit studies in at random and use a combo of last minute library books and Usborne World History for...well, history.(Is that what the term "living books" means?) Usually I "use" a style for ages before I discover it has a name! We were Waldorf for years before I ever knew there was such a thing!(....except not really...because we watch a lot of tv)
Oh, and we want to do Minimus latin this year. I'm having trouble finding a reasonable teacher's book though(look, I don't speak latin, I need the teacher's book )

All newsORBi and Open Access News
ULg Library, partner of OpenEdition Freemium29/04/2015
The University of Liege is now partner of the "OpenEdition Freemium" program. An innovative project for the development of Open Access in scientific publishing in humanities and social sciences.
The Eigenfactor website has submitted an interactive graph which displays the link between the publication costs (APC) of Open Access GOLD journals and their prestige (or Cost Effectiveness).
This graph cross-checks and plots the data concerning the cost of APCs (Authors Processing Charges) produced by journalprices.com, with the data on the number of citations collated by Journal Citation Reports, which allocated the Impact Factor (IF). All the journals considered here thus have an IF.
Thanks to filtering by domain, this graph enables authors to rapidly see which journals with Impact Factor offer the best service (visibility, prestige, quality, etc.) for the best prices in their discipline. Cost and quality are not necessarily linked! Try it!
The release of the January 2015 Webometrics Open Access repository rankings sees ORBi classed in 26th position globally out of 2158 repositories, all categories combined.
A jump of over 30 places which is not down to luck but the result of, amongst other things, referencing work carried out with Google and Google Scholar and which has allowed us to significantly increase our visibility on the Web!
ORBi (Open Repository and Bibliography)
In may 2007, the ULg's Administrative Board (joined in June 2007 by the FUSAGx) decided to create an institutional repository and defined a strong institutional self-archiving policy to increase the visibility, accessibility and impact of the University's publications (Board's decision).
This decision led to the official launch, in November 2008, of the ORBi platform including both the Academic Bibliography and the Institutional Repository of the Wallonia-Europe University Academy.

Hello Kitty Bubble Gunfight at the PC Corral
**Written by Doug Powers
On the heels of a recent spate of school "finger gun" suspensions, a five year old girl was suspended from kindergarten for something slightly different. Her crime?
A 5-year-old girl was suspended from school earlier this week after she made what the school called a "terrorist threat."
Her weapon of choice? A small, Hello Kitty automatic bubble blower.
The kindergartner, who attends Mount Carmel Area Elementary School in Pennsylvania, caught administrators' attention after suggesting she and a classmate should shoot each other with bubbles.
"I think people know how harmless a bubble is. It doesn't hurt," said Robin Ficker, an attorney for the girl's family. According to Ficker, the girl, whose identity has not been released, didn't even have the bubble gun toy with her at school.
The kindergartner was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation during her 10-day suspension, which was later reduced to two days. The evaluation deemed the girl normal and not a threat to others, Ficker said.
The girl's family is considering a lawsuit against the school to get the blemish – all because of bubbles – off their daughter's record.
"The mother has tried to get the girl in another school since this time, and they won't take the little girl because of this mark on her record," Ficker said.
The girl's lucky they don't make orange jumpsuits that small, but maybe they will as soon as somebody decides to open a Baby Gitmo in every town.
They psych evaluation found the child to be normal and well adjusted — or at least she was until this happened:
"All I know," said the mother, "is what my daughter has told me and she said she was told she could go to jail, which is a very traumatic thing for a 5-year-old to live with."
I'm guessing school administrators probably also reminded her about the "no fly list" thing.
The charge has since been downgraded from "terrorist threat" to "threat to harm others."
The wrong people are having their heads examined:

Ok, so I rush home and guess who is on? Our president. Normally I would love to hear Obama speak. But why tonight? According to the tv, he was only supposed to have been on for a half hour. It is now an hour! And I do not care what the president thinks about A-Rod admitting to using steroids.
Hopefully I can watch Medium when it comes on at 10

San Francisco, California
My Rating
At Muir Woods, our bus was the first one to be on site. This made the experience very special to be alone in this magnificent forest of sequoia trees.
The guide was funny with plenty of anecdotes.
The trip was not too rushed with enough time for lunch and to enjoy the wineries.
The price was a little bit lower than similar tours I have seen. An extra fee is required to get in the Muir Woods but this is well explained in the brochure.
I highly recommend this tour with Viator.

Filing this form entitles you to two quarters' worth of priority registration, which you must use on the first registration day of each of the next two quarters.
You must either graduate in the quarter listed on your graduation application or else change your intended graduation quarter. Failure to either graduate or change your graduation quarter will result in a block on your registration. If you want to change quarters, contact Geography advising.
You need not finish all requirements at the UW. Contact Geography advising to discuss ways to finish your degree elsewhere.

The Commencement program will list the names of graduates from Summer 2013 through Spring 2014. While Summer 2014 graduates may walk at this year's Commencement, their names will not be listed in a program until the following year's Commencement. Beginning in May, you will be directed to a website to order caps and gowns, rings, graduation announcements, etc. For all pertinent graduation information, see the website:

Few places satisfy the urge for a carefree tropical vacation like the islands of Hawaii. Indeed, the 50th state's stunning beauty is no secret – nowhere else in the United States boasts the combination of white-sand beaches, lush green landscapes, pounding surf, and rich culture of these far-flung Pacific islands. But what's less well known, especially for first-time visitors, is that there's a lot more to the state than Oahu's Waikiki Beach. In fact, of the eight major islands in Hawaii, six (Maui, Kauai, Big Island, Lanai, Oahu, Molokai) are primed for tourists, each with different reasons to visit, from ecotourism and active volcanoes to beaches and nightlife.
