Second Blog Post
The news article I found talks in general about how technology has affected nursing. By 2017, more than 95% of hospitals in the US have adopted EMR systems. EMR systems are certified electronic medical record systems. These technologies are expected to shift the pace and change increased with time. Some of the benefits EMR systems have aided are monitoring, medications, health records, beds, reduced errors, communication, and telehealth. Devices that tract data on a patients health send out alerts to nurses while monitoring them. Smart pumps allow a more accurate administration of medications. Health records are easily accessible due to data bases that reduce the loads of paper work. Smart beds provide nurses with the patients weights, movement, and vitals. This can help prevent bedsores, injuries, and misdiagnosis. Apps reduce the likelihood of error improving health outcomes. Furthermore, telehealth is easily accessible to many at a touch of a button in the comfort of their own homes. Also, communication between nurses is done through headsets, instant messaging, and collaboration tools to provide the most efficient and fast outcome. They also talk about if technology will replace nurses. The simple answer is no, but technology will continue to aid and prosper nurses.
This news article expanded my knowledge on how technology aids nurses. I didn’t know there were so many ways technology could help. Now, I question what some of the specific EMR systems are. I am interested specifically in communication. How can a small device send out so much information? I wonder if they are as easy to use. Another question that this news article created is what hospitals are receiving these advances. For example, is a hospital in a poor district getting these tools versus a hospital in a wealthy district? It’s no lie that these tools are expensive. So who is getting these tools? As well as how does this decision get made?
Nursing Technology
What new technology has been introduced? How will this technology help nurses? Will they replace nurses? What is the purpose of these new machines? Are they machines, robots, or apps? Are they reusable? Are they sustainable? How much money do they cost? How have they been updates throughout time? How accurate are they? How big or small are they? How much training does a nurse have to complete for the use of new technology?

Miss Sand Pear’s Journey
The bruises on my pear look like the ones on my butt. Although mine are from falling on rocks, and my pear’s from being slammed around in my backpack. The freckled-like bugs have formed colonies npw. It feels duller than before. Maybe from being trapped in the scorching heat of my car. I feel like I abused my sand pear. I’m sorry. The shape of my pear once perfectly sphere-like now reminds me of a melting chocolate. Maybe it was baking in the heat of my car. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet. My pear looks delicious. The butt of it looks bruised, just like mine.
Miss pear looks some what the same. The bruises have darkened, and the lively pastel yellow has faded. The stem reminds me of the Fourth of July. The tip is burnt black like that of a burning firework wick. Last Fourth of July was eventful, like this pear. It’s the middle of the night, and I’m hungry. Thus yellow sack doesn’t look too appealing as it use to. Kind of like an ex-boyfriend you realize is trash as days pass… I guess that’s why he’s an ex. I’m over sharing. I’ve realized how dumb this whole entry sounds. Goodnight.
