Nursing Resume & Job Search Tips It is broadly agreed upon in the employment sector that the need for Nursing positions will grow faster Just like in any growing profession there is the inevitable competition for these very desirable nursing positions. How do you get a head of the competition? First…Know your stuff. You have to be good at your job. So learn your job well. Second…Have confidence in yourself, be proud of what you do. Third…You need an outstanding Resume built specifically for the Nursing Profession. Remember you are competing for a job in a profession that is growing and you are competing in the Once your training is complete and you begin your job search you are stepping out of the world Your Resume has to have all the important Technical aspects of your training and all the applicable Another thing to be aware of, as a result of the volume of resumes generally received for an advertised position, Resumes are not typically read all the way through, they are quickly “scanned”. Did you know that the typical resume is looked at for only about 7 to 8 seconds! Now you see what I mean when I say you have to GRAB the ATTENTION of the READER FAST! An Outstanding Resume is just as important to your job search as making sure that a patient’s Meds are administered correctly o the patients. Every situation has it’s challenges whether you are entry level an RN, BSN, whatever your level of education and experience, there is a need to be thorough and yet maintain a quality of Interest in your resume. Most hiring managers hire nurses based on their experience or knowledge (education if you are new) in a specific area of the nursing profession. Make this stand out when writing your resume. While detailing your License Qualifications, grants, academic honors, fellowships, scholarships, GPA, your clinical rotations, or your nursing mentorships is an important thing to do while writing your resume, remember also that your resume format, layout, structure, phrasing, and design are just as important! In many many cases it is a smart thing to have a professional resume prepared for you. A certified resume writer with experience in the Nursing Field can help you get a better job with higher pay much faster than if you wrote it on your own. If you go with a professional resume here are a couple of things to look out for: 1: Don’t go with a Resume Template. (They don’t work) 2. Go with a Professional Certified Resume Writer, experienced in Nursing, 3. Don’t skimp on your Resume. This is your career. It is important. Treat it like it is

| Posted: 29 Apr 2011 08:22 PM PDT Rapid covering and healing of both acute skin defects and chronic skin defects are important objectives for wound healing. The best way to heal a wound is to close it according to surgical standards as quickly as possible after injury. However, this procedure is limited to those wounds and those anatomical regions that allow both excision and adaptation of wound borders to close the wound by primary intention or per primam (Latin term meaning to close the wound by suturing [or equivalent method] and restructuring of the skin continuity). In large-surface and deep wounds in which the primary wound closure is not possible or not practicable, the most important issue is to dress the wound with appropriate materials to allow the following: (1) to keep the wound free of infection, (2) to reduce or eliminate pain, (3) to reduce or eliminate all potential factors inhibiting natural healing (eg, dead tissue in burns, superficial fibrosis, necrotic tissue), and (4) to replace or substitute the missing tissue as much as possible. Wound repair involves the timed and balanced activity of inflammatory, vascular, connective tissue, and epithelial cells. All of these components need an extracellular matrix to balance the healing process. Skin wounds heal by the formation of epithelialized scars of different contraction ability rather than by the regeneration of a true full-thickness tissue. To minimize scar formation and to accelerate healing time, different wound dressings and different techniques of skin substitution have been introduced in the last decades. Autologous skin grafting in the form of split- or full-thickness skin is still a criterion standard. However, in many patients, this technique may not be practicable for a variety of reasons, and the wound must be allowed to heal by second intention. Moreover, in cases in which skin grafts are used, a new wound is created on the donor side. Thus, eliminating a new wound to close the old one and to close as many tissue defects as possible without the risk of large area infection, necrosis, tissue hypertrophy, and contraction, as well as deformation of wound borders, is a necessity. The next important problem is to reduce or eliminate scar formation, particularly in the field of large-surface wounds. Traditional management of large-surface or deep wounds involves open and closed methods. In the open method, the wounds are left in a warm, dry environment to crust over, whereas, in the closed method, wounds are covered with different kinds of temporary dressings and topical treatment, including antibiotics, until healing by secondary intention. The early removal of the dead tissue (eg, in burns) reduced pain, the number of surgical procedures, and the length of the hospital stay. The surgical intervention (ie, tangential excision of partial- or full-thickness wound) followed by wound closure with autografts or temporary dressings is one of the currently used methods. In large-surface, full-thickness wounds, the wound can be excised down to the fat or the fascia, particularly if infection is present. Excision to the fat induces the removal of the subdermal plexus of blood vessels and decreases the take of autografts because this tissue is less vascularized. Excision down to the fascia induces better take of the autografts but has aesthetic disadvantages. Wound debridement can also be achieved by enzyme digestion of the dead tissues. Proteolytic enzymes (eg, collagenases used topically) allow a more specific destruction of necrotic tissues, while preserving viable dermis and avoiding blood loss, but the treatment can be painful and can increase the risk of local infection. In addition, it takes a long time to achieve a clean wound bed. Currently available wound coverings can be divided into 2 categories: (1) permanent coverings, such as autografts, and (2) temporary coverings, such as allografts (including de-epidermized cadaver skin and in vitro reconstructed epidermal sheets), xenografts (ie, conserved pig skin), and synthetic dressings. Conventional autograft (epidermis and a significant amount of dermis) obtained from healthy skin areas is considered the optimum wound cover in that its viability yields immediate take (incorporation into the wound bed) and resistance to wound infection. However, harvesting of autograft creates a second wound in the healthy tissue, a donor wound. This open wound increases the risk of infection and fluid/electrolyte imbalance. Repeated conventional harvests of autograft from a donor wound site can result in contour defects or scarring. Optimizing the healing of both main wounds and donor wounds becomes a later goal of patient management and the development of different surgical dressings, which can be used based on the principle of phase-adapted wound healing. Most recently, developed wound dressings are in use only as temporary dressings because of their synthetic or chemical components, limited persistence on the wound surface, and foreign body character. Primary closure versus second-intention treatment of skin punch biopsy sites was evaluated in a randomized trial.[1] Punch biopsy sites healed by second intention appear at least as good as biopsy sites closed primarily with sutures. Volunteers preferred suturing for 8-mm biopsy sites and had no preference for 4-mm sites. Elimination of suturing of punch biopsy wounds results in personnel efficiency and economic savings for both patients and medical institutions. The wounds had been dressed with petroleum jelly under an occlusive dressing that consisted of gauze covered by a transparent dressing (Tegaderm; 3M, St Paul, Minn) and were left in place for 3 days. After that time, the gel foam was removed from the second-intention site and both biopsy sites were cleansed with water to remove any exudate. Then, an occlusive transparent dressing was reapplied to both sites. After this initial dressing change, dressings were changed weekly or more often at the volunteers’ discretion until the biopsy sites were completely healed or reepithelialized. Efficient wound dressings can be important for both small and large wounds. Some of the currently available surgical dressings used in dermatologic and dermatosurgical practice are discussed.

| Posted: 28 Apr 2011 07:43 PM PDT ACUTE LIMPHOSITYC LEUCEMIA A. DEFINITIONS ACUTE LIMPHOSITYC LEUCEMIA Acute limphosityc leukemia is the proliferation of malignant / malignant limphoblast in bone marrow cells caused by a single core that can be systemic. (Ngastiyah, 1997; Smeltzer & Bare, 2002; Tucker, 1997; Reeves & Lockart, 2002). B. CAUSE ACUTE LIMPHOSITYC LEUCEMIA The cause of leukemia acute limphosityc until now not yet clear, probably due to suspected virus (oncogenic viruses) and other factors that may play a role, namely: a. X-rays, radioactive rays. b. Hormone. c. Chemicals such as benzene, arsenic, sulfate preparations, chloramphinecol, anti-neoplastic agent). 2. Endogenous factors a. Race (the Jews is more easily affected than black people) b. Congenital (chromosomal abnormalities, particularly in children with Down syndrome). c. Hereditary (or twin sisters one egg). (Ngastiyah, 1997) C. Pathophysiology ACUTE LIMPHOSITYC LEUCEMIA Cancer cells produce immature leukocytes / abnormal excessive amounts. This immature leukocytes infiltrated into various organs, including bone marrow and replace the elements of normal cells. Immature lymphocytes proliferate in the bone marrow and peripheral tissue that interfere with normal cell growth. This causes the normal haemopoesis inhibited, resulting in decrease in the number of leucosit, red blood cells and platelets. Cancer cell infiltration into various organs causing pembersaran liver, spleen, limfodenopati, headache, vomiting, and pain in bones and joints. Decrease in the number of red blood cells cause anemia, decrease in the number of platelets facilitate the occurrence of bleeding (echimosis, bleeding gums, etc. epistaksis.). The presence of cancer cells also affect retikuloendotelial system that can cause the body’s defense system, thus susceptible to infection. Existence kaker cells that also interfere with cell metabolism of food shortages. (Ngastiyah, 1997; & Bare Smeltzer, 2002; Suriadi and Rita Yuliani, 2001, Betz & Sowden, 2002). D. SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS ACUTE LIMPHOSITYC LEUCEMIA Clinical manifestations of leukemia acute limphosityc include: 1. Colds do not heal 2. Pale, listless, easily stimulated 3. Fever, anorexia, nausea, vomiting 4. Weight loss 5. Ptechiae, epistaksis, bleeding gums, bruising for no reason 6. Bone and joint pain 7. Abdominal pain 8. Hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy 9. WBC abnormalities 10. Headache E. DIAGNOSTIC EXAMINATION IN ACUTE LIMPHOSITYC LEUCEMIA Diagnostic tests are commonly done in children with leukemia acute limphosityc are: 1. Bone marrow examination (BMP / Bone Marrow Punction): a. Found excessive blast cells b. Increased protein 2. Peripheral blood examination a. Pansitopenia (anemia, lekopenia, trombositopneia) b. Increased serum uric acid c. Increased copper (Cu) serum d. Decreased levels of Zinc (Zn) e. Increased leukocytes can occur (from 20,000 to 200,000 / ?l), but in the form of blast cells / primitive cell 3. Biopsy liver, spleen, kidney, bone to examine the involvement / infiltration of cancer cells to these organs 4. Fotothorax to assess the involvement of the mediastinum 5. Sitogenik: 50-60% of ALL and AML patients have abnormalities in the form: a. Number of chromosome abnormalities, such as the diploid (2n), haploid (2n-a), hiperploid (2n + a) b. Increases or loss of chromosomes (delection partial) c. There are marker chromosomes, which are morphological elements that are not normal components of chromosomes that form a very large to very small TREATMENT AT ALL 1. Blood transfusion, is usually given when the Hb levels less than 6 g%. In severe thrombocytopenia and massive bleeding, platelet transfusions can be given and if there are signs DIC can be given heparin. 2. Corticosteroids (prednisone, cortisone, dexamethasone, etc.). Achieved remission after the dose is reduced gradually and eventually discontinued. 3. Sitostatika. In addition to the long sitostatika (6 merkaptopurin or 6 mp, methotrexate, or MTX) was used at the same time new and more potent as vinkristin (oncovin), rubidomisin (daunorubycine), cytosine, arabinosid, L asparaginase, cyclophosphamide, or CPA, adriamycin and the like . Sitostatika generally given in combination with prednisone joint. In giving this drug there is often a side effect alopecia, stomatitis, leukopenia, infection or secondary kandidiagis. Berhziti should be more caution when jumiah less than 2.000/mm3 leukocytes. 4. Secondary infection avoided (if possible the patient was isolated in a sterile room). 5. Immunotherapy is the newest way of treatment. Having achieved remission and the number of leukemia cells was low (105 106), Immunotherapy began to be given. Treatment is done by assigning aspesifik immunization with BCG or Corynae bacterium and is intended to form antibodies that can strengthen the immune system. Specific treatment is done by injecting the leukemia cells that have been irradiated. In this way are expected to form specific antibodies against leukemia cells, so that all the pathological cells will be destroyed so that leukemia patients can expect a complete recovery. 6. Treatments. Each clinic has its own way depending on experience. Generally, treatment directed toward the prevention of relapse and obtain a longer remission. To achieve that state, in principle, the basic pattern of medication use as follows: a. Induction Intended to achieve remission, namely the provision of various drugs mentioned above, both systemic and intrathecal until blast cells in bone marrow less than 5%. b. Consolidation Namely that the remaining cells no longer multiply rapidly. c. Rumat (maintenance) To maintain the remission, as far as dapatnya a long period of remission. Usually done by giving a half dose sitostatika ordinary. d. Reinduksi Intended to prevent relapse. Reinduksi usually done every 6 months to 3 drug delivery such as the induction drug for 10 14 days. e. Prevent the occurrence of central nervous system leukemia. For this intrathecal MTX was given at the time of induction to prevent meningeal leukemia and cranial radiation as much 2.4002.500 rad. to prevent meningeal leukemia and cerebral leukemia. This radiation is not repeated in reinduksi. f. Medical imunologik It is expected that all leukemia cells in the body will vanish altogether, and thus patients can expect a complete recovery.
