This Day in History: Navy Nurse Corps

At about this time in 1944, women in the Navy Nurse Corps are given full military ranks for the first time. The Corps’ Superintendent, Sue Dauser, becomes the first woman in the Navy to hold the rank of Captain.

The move came after years of hard work.

Nurses had been helping the Navy for decades, of course. When the hospital ship Red Rover traveled up and down the Mississippi during the Civil War, it had volunteer nurses on board. Likewise, USS Relief carried volunteer nurses during the Spanish-American War.

Things became more official in 1908.

Day 3: Apocalypse

Title: Starving off Her breadcrumbs

Ship: Arthur Kirkland x Elizabeth I // Arthur Kirkland x Elizabeth I x Alfred F. Jones

Cowritten with: @the-engdyssey

Summary: He vaguely heard Reg's introduction as he watched a young woman headbutt and break the windshield of a nearby car. In a desperate bid to escape, the occupant, a middle aged man, fumbled with the car door, spilling out onto the pavement. But not before the woman had latched onto him, her head turned sideways as she lunged once more, her mouth clamping down on the man's arm.

Then came the countdown.

Here comes a herd of zebras! One. With a ferocity she tore her head back, stripping the man of flesh and muscle as she did so. More akin to a bear ripping into the carcass of an elk than anything human.

Two. The female left him after she'd taken a few chunks out of his arm, her attention stolen by another passerby that had run too close. The man's arm was twitching uncontrollably, spasming from what Alfred had assumed was pain. He couldn't bring himself to look away. What the fuck?

Three. The Marine urged his family to move quicker as he noticed the body on the ground convulsing. Worse now. It wasn't just arm twitches anymore, his whole body was convulsing-

Pluto mission starts today. 9 year mission. 2015.

1/19/2006. Thursday. 12:29pm

I slept off and on last night from 9pm to 5:15 am or so. My stomach was odd, leading to strong, lost, homesick bad dreams. One dream was about my parent’s home, my childhood home, in Atwater , California. In the dream, the house was falling apart and down into a large ravine like basement beneath it.I was preparing to move away from the house  when this happened.

Just dusk. 5:46pm

Talked to mom. She flys out to see her sister Blanche tomorrow. Mary drives her to the Fresno airport. Mary and Dan pick her up. Blanche, my mother’s oldest sister, will move to Omaha to be near relatives. (Blanche was born in 1914).

Wilson Picket died today. 1941-2006.  He co- wrote the song “In the midnight hour”.

Pluto mission starts today. 9 year flight. 2015. On board are the ashes of the man who discovered Pluto in 1930.

Note

The Pluto mission was called New Horizon’s. It was the first mission to the Pluto System and the Kuiper belt. It’s closest approach to Pluto was on July 14, 2015.

The Pluto mission was kind of like the journal mission. The journal carries the ashes of the past into the future where they are revived, reinterpreted and transform the present.

Regarding my dream about my parent’s house, it’s interesting that within 6 years , it would “come true”. The house and the warmth and security it once represented fell into the ravine of family division and disinheritance.

“In the midnight hour” is one of my favorite treadmill songs now. I treadmill 35 minutes a day. Often, I do it to 1960’s music.

Blanche moved into a retirement home in Omaha. In October 2006, I flew back to Lincoln and Omaha for a family reunion (my mom’ s family). We had lunch  with Blanche there at the retirement home.  Growing up, I always felt close to Blanche. After the disinheritance, I cut off communication with the family including Blanche. I learned about a year ago from cousin Debbie that Blanche died. I think she was close to 100 when she died. She had been a nurse in the Navy(?) and had served as a nurse during WWII in Europe. She never married and had no children.

Combat Stress keep fighting for mental health care 104 years on

It's amazing to think, that 2023 marks 104 years since Combat Stress: The UK's Leading Charity for Veterans' Mental Health was founded, back on the 12th May, 1919.

Their original name was the Ex-Servicemen's Welfare Society and they opened their first "recuperative home" in 1920 on Putney Hill in South West London, for those suffering Shell-Shock from WW1.

For over a century, Combat Stress have helped former servicemen and women with mental health problems like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.

Before organizations like the NHS were even started, back in 1919, the pioneering founders of Combat Stress revolutionized Britain's approach to mental health care and changed public attitudes along the way.

The approach of those who started Combat Stress, laid solid foundations for the organization to provide treatment to veterans' across the UK. Their aim today, is to help veterans tackle their past, and face a much brighter future.

Combat Stress now have treatment hubs in Scotland, Northern Ireland, South, Central and the North West of England. They are also part of a much bigger family of military organizations, who provide specialized welfare and healthcare support to Britain's ex-forces community.

Combat Stress helped over 14,000 veterans in the last year alone, and you can find out more about combatstress.org.uk through their website, or you can join the conversation over at @CombatStress on Twitter and Facebook.

one time at a new job someone told me a bunch of shit all at once and I was 100% listening and then he said "repeat back everything I just said" and I instantly forgot it all and I got in a lot of trouble because he thought I was being deliberately obtuse or some shit.

And then I was talking shit about the situation later to someone and didnt realize a patient overheard me and she reported me for it and I got in trouble again and this was all within like 3 days of being there

Then I was just having trouble retaining info and got yelled at again so I decided I didnt want to work there and I requested a transfer.

Then I found out YEARS later that people from that place STILL talked about me and i had a really shitty reputation and they had been telling people I was fired. I was literally there for like a week

*retaining nothing you just said* got it

Hospital Equipment Rental: An Essential Solution for Modern Healthcare

In today’s healthcare landscape, managing operational costs while delivering high-quality patient care is a significant challenge. Hospital equipment rental offers a versatile solution for healthcare facilities by providing access to essential medical devices without the upfront expense of purchasing. This approach benefits hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, allowing them to scale resources as patient demands fluctuate and technology advances.

If you’re considering hospital equipment rental, this guide will walk you through its advantages, the types of equipment commonly rented, and why it’s a cost-effective choice.

Why Rent Hospital Equipment?

Cost Savings: Purchasing new hospital equipment can be a substantial investment. Hospital equipment rental reduces this burden, allowing facilities to access top-tier devices with lower initial costs and predictable monthly payments. Renting becomes especially valuable for small hospitals or clinics with limited budgets.

Access to Advanced Technology: Medical technology evolves rapidly. Hospital equipment rental provides access to the latest technology without committing to ownership. When you rent equipment, you’re more agile in adopting advancements that improve patient outcomes.

Flexibility and Scalability: Hospitals often face fluctuating patient volumes, especially during peak periods like flu season or unforeseen events like pandemics. Renting equipment enables rapid scaling up or down of resources to meet demand without investing in equipment that may only be used seasonally.

Maintenance and Repair: With hospital equipment rental, maintenance and repair costs are typically covered by the rental provider. This relieves healthcare facilities from the financial burden of unexpected repairs and minimizes downtime.

Environmental Impact: Renting rather than buying equipment supports sustainable practices by reducing the need for new production and allowing equipment to be reused.

Testing Equipment Before Buying: Some hospitals choose to rent equipment temporarily as a trial. This allows them to test the equipment’s functionality and gauge its utility before committing to a purchase.

Commonly Rented Hospital Equipment

Healthcare facilities rent a wide array of equipment, depending on their needs and specialties. Here are some popular categories:

1. Patient Mobility Equipment

Wheelchairs: Manual and motorized wheelchairs are essential for patient mobility within facilities and for discharge planning.

Walkers and Crutches: Particularly beneficial for patients with temporary mobility issues due to surgery or injury.

Patient Lifts and Transfer Equipment: Essential for safely transferring patients with limited mobility, reducing strain on healthcare providers.

2. Respiratory Equipment

Ventilators: Life-saving equipment essential for patients with severe respiratory conditions.

Oxygen Concentrators: Portable and stationary models are commonly rented, especially for at-home patient care.

BiPAP and CPAP Machines: Used for sleep apnea and other respiratory disorders, these devices are often rented by patients needing temporary or long-term respiratory support.

3. Diagnostic Equipment

Ultrasound Machines: Portable and high-end ultrasound machines are popular rentals for diagnostic imaging in clinics and outpatient settings.

EKG/ECG Machines: Essential for monitoring heart activity, these machines are widely used in hospitals and are commonly rented for short-term use.

X-Ray Machines: Especially beneficial for smaller clinics or facilities that do not require constant use of radiology equipment.

4. Surgical and ICU Equipment

Anesthesia Machines: Essential for surgeries, these machines are often rented due to their high cost and limited daily usage.

Infusion Pumps: Widely used in ICU settings, infusion pumps deliver medications and fluids accurately, essential for critical care.

Defibrillators: Life-saving devices that are necessary in both emergency and routine patient care settings.

5. Patient Monitoring Equipment

Vital Sign Monitors: Used to track blood pressure, pulse rate, and oxygen levels, vital sign monitors are necessary in patient rooms, ICUs, and emergency departments.

Telemetry Units: These wireless units allow for the continuous monitoring of a patient’s vital signs, especially important in cardiac care.

Pulse Oximeters: These non-invasive devices are essential for monitoring oxygen saturation levels in a variety of healthcare settings.

6. Hospital Beds and Mattresses

ICU Beds: Advanced hospital beds with features such as adjustable height, angles, and safety rails are often rented by hospitals.

Bariatric Beds: Specialized beds that accommodate patients with higher weight requirements, providing comfort and safety.

Mattress Overlays and Pressure Relief Mattresses: Important for patients at risk of pressure ulcers, these mattresses offer added comfort and reduce skin breakdown.

Benefits of Choosing a Reliable Hospital Equipment Rental Provider

When renting hospital equipment, working with a reputable provider is crucial. Here are some reasons why choosing a trusted partner, such as Jupiter Equipment, can benefit your healthcare facility:

Quality Assurance: Reliable providers ensure their equipment is maintained to the highest standards, minimizing the risk of equipment failure.

Comprehensive Maintenance and Support: A dependable provider will handle regular maintenance and offer technical support. This minimizes downtime and keeps your facility running smoothly.

Flexible Rental Terms: Whether you need equipment for a few weeks or several months, reputable providers offer flexible terms to accommodate different healthcare scenarios.

Expert Guidance: Top providers often have knowledgeable staff who can guide you in selecting the best equipment for your needs, ensuring you get the right solution for your facility.

Factors to Consider Before Renting Hospital Equipment

While rental can be advantageous, it’s essential to consider a few factors before signing an agreement:

1. Assessing Long-Term Needs vs. Short-Term Demand

Consider whether the equipment will be used long-term or to meet a temporary spike in demand. Long-term use may warrant purchasing the equipment, while short-term or infrequent use often justifies renting.

2. Budget and Cost Analysis

Compare rental costs to purchase costs over the expected duration of use. Some equipment may become cost-effective to purchase if needed frequently or permanently.

3. Maintenance Policies

Ensure the rental agreement covers routine maintenance and emergency repairs. This is vital to avoid unexpected costs and ensure that your equipment remains functional.

4. Training and Technical Support

Some medical equipment requires specialized training. Ensure your rental provider offers training or resources to help your staff use the equipment safely and effectively.

5. Upgrade Options

Technology is continuously evolving. Some providers offer options to upgrade to newer equipment models during the rental term, allowing you to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hospital Equipment Rental

1. Is it cheaper to rent hospital equipment than to buy?

Yes, renting is typically cheaper for short-term needs or for equipment with a high upfront cost. It eliminates maintenance costs and provides access to the latest technology without long-term investment.

2. How long can we rent hospital equipment?

Most rental companies offer flexible rental terms ranging from a few days to several months. Jupiter Equipment, for example, provides customizable rental terms based on your needs.

3. What happens if the equipment needs repair?

Reputable rental providers include maintenance and repair services in the rental agreement. They will typically provide a replacement if immediate repair is not possible.

4. Can I purchase equipment after renting it?

Some providers offer a rent-to-own option, allowing you to apply rental payments toward the purchase price if you decide to keep the equipment permanently.
