The
CDC recommends that all nursing homes take steps to implement
antibiotic stewardship activities. They have provided a checklist which
nursing home staff can use as a baseline assessment, and periodically
thereafter to review progress in expanding stewardship activities on a
regular basis (e.g., annually). Over time, facility staff can implement
activities for each element in a step-wise fashion. To obtain the
checklist for use in your facility, click here: http://www.cdc.gov/longtermcare/pdfs/core-elements-antibiotic-stewardship-checklist.pdf

Residents
of long-term care facilities can experience severe and fatal illness
during influenza outbreaks. Offering the influenza vaccine is only one
step in preventing this from happening. To help you develop a full
influenza plan, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
published guidance specific to long term care settings. Obtain these
expert recommendations and share with your team so that everyone is
ready in the event that influenza enters your doors: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/infectioncontrol/ltc-facility-guidance.htm.

| CORPORATE PARTNER RECOGNITION
| |
| We created The DAISY Award For Extraordinary Nurses
and piloted the program at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, whose
nurses cared for Patrick during the last weeks of his life. Our goal was
to ensure that nurses know how deserving they are of our society's
profound respect for the education, training, brainpower, and skill they
put into their work, and especially for the caring with which they
deliver their care. At the time we started the program, we could not
have anticipated that The DAISY Award would come to be regarded as a
strategic tool for nurse recruitment and retention and would be adopted
by healthcare facilities all over the U.S. and beyond." Our
participants’ administrators tell us that as a recognition program, The
DAISY Award is "inspirational," "a great morale booster," "an excellent
tool for nurse retention," "a way to develop role models." They find it
so meaningful that many have created their own DAISY Award displays in
their lobbies, banners for their nurses' stations, scrapbooks of
recipients, feature presentations at their National Nurses Week
ceremonies, and permanent plaques. Realistically, we cannot project the
effect The DAISY Award can have on the worrisome nursing shortage.
However, it is apparent that our effort at expressing personal,
heartfelt appreciation to nurses for the important difference they make
in all the lives they touch is having a powerful effect.

Make confident and
correct decisions with the only Director of Nursing (DON) guide endorsed

Nursing Field Guide, Second Edition, is a must-have resource to improve
quality of care, cut costs, and sharpen your leadership and management
skills. New and veteran DONs will benefit from this updated edition,
which includes guidance on quality indicator surveys (QIS), MDS 3.0, new
audit threats, and more.

| The
role of a licensed practical nurse (LPN) in long-term care is both

seasoned LPNs, will examine the important clinical and management
aspects of the LPN practice in long-term care while providing tips and
