As someone involved with a lot of online projects, I can already see how social networking is affecting the health industry. It should be interesting to see what developments take place the next few years. Great post.

I had not heard about the fast-tracking aspect before. It is one thing to fast-track through a communications degree or IT, but when people's lives are on the line I'm not sure that is such a good idea. Great post.

If there were only different levels of nursing assistants so they could take on more responsibility and free up some RN time. And for having more patients, as an RN I would welcome the more "healthy" sick patients. In other words, we end up with more higher acuity patients in our nursing assignments and the days I get one or two patients who are not as sick, it makes for a nicer, smoother shift. NICE BLOG!
