Foundation of Nursing Studies:"Foundation of Nursing Studies a UK-based charity whose sole purpose is to help nurses, midwives and health visitors improve patient care by encouraging them to use the most up-to-date methods. It is widely agreed that practice should always be based on evidence and research, but some findings never reach the patients who will most benefit. Nurses need to be able to respond to developments in their field and change their practice quickly and easily."

Marilyn's Midwifery Page:"Midwifery in the United States is experiencing rapid change. We are leaving an era where knowledge about this topic was misrepresented to the general public. Lies, distortion and negative propaganda were espoused by those who had no real facts. The "midwife problem" was a political weapon to mask the real socioeconomic problems that society created. Today, midwives are speaking for themselves. With the help of researchers from other disciplines, we are honoring our past and the dedicated women who went before us, and we are also preparing for the future. Midwifery is destined to continue providing a positive low-tech solution to today's maternity problems and will lead the way into the 21st century."

Nativiti Birthing Center:"Melanie Dossey, founder and director, is licensed in the State of Texas as a Certified Nurse-Midwife. Her entire professional career has been committed to the concept of midwifery - entrusting the care of childbearing women to other women who understand the experience of childbearing and its many facets - physical, medical, emotional, spiritual. "The Birth Center exists for healthy women who are having a baby. The guiding principle at Nativiti Women's Health and Birth Center is that pregnancy is not a sickness! Birth is a wonderful and normal life event - to be experienced however and with whomever the mother wishes, within the dictates of safety for all concerned."

Nurses' Station:"The idea for the Nurses' Station Catalog was conceived in 1989. After searching the marketplace in response to customer inquiries, it became obvious that there were no catalogs of this type serving the nursing profession. To be sure, there were several catalogs offering nurse's uniforms and a smattering of professional items. But there weren't any catalogs at the time offering a range of gifts, clothing, professional items, name badges, shoes and scrubs for nurses. It took two years of hard work to gather samples and put a together a catalog of the most unique and high-quality items for nurses."

ER:"Media products under your influence, particularly the NBC/Warner drama "ER," are harming the profession of 2.7 million American nurses by giving the public an inaccurate and inadequate account of what nurses really do to save and improve lives. Research suggests that "ER" strongly and negatively influences the way children view nursing. These products contribute to the nursing shortage, a public health crisis that threatens millions worldwide."
NBC's "Passions":"NBC's "Passions" solves nursing shortage: monkeys can do the job! Starting in March 2003 and at least as recently as late August, NBC's campy, supernatural daytime soap opera "Passions" has featured an orangutan named Precious in the role of the private duty nurse of one of its characters--a bold step backwards in the already slow...evolution...of the media's treatment of nurses. more..."
"Scrubs" defines nursing:""Scrubs" defines nursing: it's all about shutting up and following physician "orders. " Tonight's episode of NBC's "Scrubs," which purports to teach nurse Carla Espinosa that nursing is all about doing what physicians tell you, is one of the most virulently anti-nurse prime time television episodes the Center has ever seen. more..." http://www.nursingadvocacy.org/
