How does the practice of palliative care differ from acute care for nursing staff?
Absolutely, and I gave a lecture on this not long ago. Palliative care basically means care not aimed at curing or treatment of illness or malady, but rather providing comfort to the patient. The patient does not necessarily have to be diagnosed with a terminal illness to receive palliative care. Hospice care, on the other hand, encompasses palliative care with other types of care for the dying person and his family.

How long will it take to die from a stab wound to the abdomen?
The liver is extremely vascular, meaning LOTS of blood flows thru it. If it gets ruptured you have about an hour I would guess. Your body does a lot to stop blood from leaving the body, but without surgery you're a goner. Other than the pain of the injury, its not a bad way to go. You lose blood and just go to sleep...and of course never wake up...which is a bummer.

What is Nursing bag technique?
Great care must be taken to avoid contamination of your nursing bag or any of its contents when you perform home visits. Hence the notion of "nursing bag technique." The nursing bag should never be put on the floor. When the bag is placed on any other surface it should be placed on top of a barrier such as a clean "chux" or other kind of pad brought by the nurse. Alternatively the nurse can place the bag on top of a clean newspaper. Any item taken from the bag should be placed on the barrier if it is necessary to put it down. Items used during the visit should not go back into the bag, but rather placed in a separate disposable bag. No one but the nurse should touch the bag. Remember, the bag or any of its contents can become a means for the spread of germs. On this note: Newspapers are very clean - except for the ink that might get on your hands! They have few germs when they are freshly printed and delivered and can be used to cover a patient in shock (for example at the site of a car accident) or used to wrap a newborn when an emergency delivery occurs in the home or car). I hope this helps a bit.

Sample:

(salutation)
My doctor has advised me that my health will no longer permit me to keep up a full-time job. It may be obvious that I haven't been well, as I have had to take a considerable amount of sick time. I had hoped that things would improve, but this is not the case. I can no longer keep up the standard of work that I prefer to do, and my energy level is so low that it is an effort to make it through the day. Therefore, I must resign, effective (date). I have attached a letter from my doctor, as I expect to be claiming disability benefits from the company plan. I take this step with the greatest regret, and extend sincere apologies for this unavoidable action.
Sincerely,
(name)

Answer
Your resignation letter only needs to include the fact that you are resigning and the date of your last day. They do not need the health information at all; infact it does not properly belong in your file. The disability information is a separate, sealed file due to privacy laws and you want to keep them separate as you go through the process to receive disability. Also, should you later be able to return, you do not want this information in your personnel file.
