Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations

Presented on Saturday March 20, 2021 at 11:20am - 12:20pm ET by Lora Cheek RN, SCRN.

I have been fortunate enough to have benefited form 27 years of experience as a Registered Nurse at UMMC. With 14 in the Neurocare ICU working as a senior partner RN during which time I obtained my SCRN, advanced certification in Stroke nursing. For 2 years I was the UMMC  Stroke coordinator and also the Study Coordinator for the Closure Trial. The last 11 years at UMMC I have worked in the Interventional Radiology department. While spending many hours in Neuro-Interventional Radiology casses, I have been lucky enough to participate in many body cases as well as prep and recovery of patients at UMMC.

Dealing with Nurse Bullying

Presented on Saturday March 20, 2021 at 1:20pm - 2:20pm ET by Karen Green MHA, BSN, RN, CRN, FAARIN.

I graduated from Albert Einstein Medical Center School of Nursing ‘back in the dark ages’ as she says.  In my 48 years as a professional nurse, I often reference those ‘dark ages’ of caring for patients with ‘dial – a – flows’ not IV infusion pumps, life with regular x-rays, not CT Scans or MRIs, Defibrillators with a max energy of 200 joules, and no Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE)!  

How did I practice without the technology of today you ask? 

Early in my career I incorporated my 5 senses in every patient and family interaction. SIGHT showed me skin color, excessive chest wall movements, anxiety; SMELL confirmed the sweet odor of hyperglycemia or the odor of blood; TOUCH indicated skin temperature and texture and even allayed a patient’s anxiety, HEARING sounds of rales, wheezing or silence; VOICE permitted me to talk with patients and verbalize my assessment to physician colleagues so together exceptional care could be provided.    

I initially worked as an emergency nurse in Philadelphia and joined the Emergency Nurses Association (then the Emergency Department Nurses Association).  This was in 1974, the beginning of my belief of membership in my professional organization. As I pursued additional branches of nursing, such as educator, manager, consultant, and radiology/imaging nurse, I remained committed to joining the corresponding nursing organization. It is the importance of this membership I always convey to new nurses I meet.

As a Lifetime Member of the Association for Radiologic & Imaging Nursing (ARIN), formerly the American Radiological Nurses Association (ARNA), I remain committed to the power of nurses, building relationships and teams.  My patients and co-workers mean the world to me. Many are family! I have learned from them and pray I offered my knowledge and support in return.  I strongly believe in service to the nursing profession, orientating new staff, encouraging students, professional service and volunteering! 

My definition of volunteering is to ‘give of oneself to a group of like-minded individuals. Volunteering with ARIN has brought me many gifts such as the gift of knowledge-sharing through educational presentations and the honor of service via National and Local Chapter Board service.  In return I received the gifts of true friendships, dedication of my colleagues to the ARIN cause, and involvement in a group where I could and have made a difference. In my current role as ARIN past President, I support ARINs Vision of “Advancing Radiologic and Imaging Nursing by sharing best practices, robust process improvement and publications around the world”, by facilitating the work of ARIN Task Forces. In these groups, I continue to witness the commitment and dedication of our members to consistently improve and raise up ARIN as THE Organization for Radiologic & Imaging Nursing! 

When I reflect on my many years of service to ARIN, I realize the positive effect my colleagues have had on me and I pray that I have returned the favor to them. In return, my most precious gift has been the friendships I developed with individuals who truly care about me as a person and not just my contributions. Together we continue to grow professionally which translates into our ability to move ARIN forward in the future!

Creating a Culture of Evidence-Based Nursing in the Radiology/Imaging Setting-ARCHIVE

This webinar is no longer available for CE credit, but can be reviewed for content free of charge.

Creating a culture of evidence-based practice in a radiology/imaging department is often easier said than done.  What’s clear, however, is that evidence should be used to define best practices rather than support existing, and perhaps outdated procedures.  Evidence-based practice based on research is more likely to result in desired patient outcomes. It also provides opportunities for nursing care to be more individualized, effective, streamlined, and dynamic, while maximizing the effects of clinical judgment.
