Another Nurse in Government |
When longtime Texas state senator John Whitmire resigned to become mayor of
Houston last year, it left a vacancy that hadn’t been available for four decades. Six Democrats vied for the seat in the March primary, resulting in a race between sitting state representative Jarvis Johnson and emergency room nurse Molly Cook in her second Texas Senate campaign. On Saturday, Cook declared victory for the seat, becoming the third RN in the Texas legislature.

A Primate’s Prescription |
The more we study animals, the more we discover the complexity of their world and just how much they may have in common with us. The latest study to spark this wonder reported on a Sumatran orangutan that used medicinal leaves from the Akar Kuning vine to heal his face wound—and it worked. The observation marks the first time scientists have found an animal using medicine to treat an injury.

A Day in the Life |
Ahead of Nurses Week, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reminded its readers last week just how important the job of pediatric emergency room nurses is. A feature about Children’s Minnesota RN Joe Schwartz, also the son of a pediatric ER nurse, reveals the “jack-of-all-trades nature of the job” as the hospital aims to recruit 176 more nurses by fall. “They have to be really experts in all areas because they see everything,” the clinical director told the paper.

TECH TUESDAY WITH NURSE MANNY
|
AI Discharge Instructions? |
In January 2023, I highlighted Synthesia.io's potential to revolutionize nursing with patient education via video instructions. Synthesia's latest update takes this vision further by introducing "Expressive Avatars." These new avatars offer more lifelike expressions and improved lip tracking, aiming to deliver even more personalized and engaging video content for patients. This leap in technology could enhance patient understanding and compliance, potentially reducing hospital readmissions by making discharge instructions clearer and more relatable.
