Placebo
Journal is a somewhat dark humor site for physicians, which
might amuse...not MY cup of tea, but I DO have a somewhat tight
sphincter tone...
No
Free Lunch We believe that there is ample evidence in the
literature--contrary to the beliefs of most heath care providers--that
drug companies, by means of samples, gifts, and food, exert significant
influence on provider behavior. There is also ample evidence in
the literature that promotional materials and presentations are
often biased and non-informative. We believe that health care
professionals, precisely because they are professionals, should
not allow themselves to be bought by the pharmaceutical industry:
A very interesting and fact filled site!

Center
for Nursing Advocacy The Center tells the media and the public
what nurses really do. We analyze the media's treatment of nurses
and organize them to respond, helping nurses stand together to
end harmful depictions and encourage good ones. Better public
understanding of nursing will lead to more social, political and
financial support for the profession. That will relieve the nursing
shortage and improve the health of all people. Wonderful news
alerts if you sign up!
Nursing
Retention Survey The study will help educators, nurses, hospitals,
government, and program design and developers to think more critically
about the growing problem of nurse retention in the U.S. today,
as well as create and promote programs and practices that support
the improvement of nurse retention.
