<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/%20http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/01/04/tips.eating.better/index.html">CNN </a>listed the best foods that have high benefits<br />
but low in calories. Here they are:<br />
<br />
1. Grains<br />
2. Soy<br />
<br />
3. Salmon and other oily fish<br />
<br />
4. Red Wine<br />
<br />
5. Green Tea<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20610558/">MSNBC</a>, meanwhile listed what many thought as artery-clogging foods<br />
but, after giving them a closer look, contains potential health benefits.<br />
Here are 5 of them:<br />
<br />
1. Eggs<br />
2. White Potatoes<br />
3. Pizza<br />
4. Sugary Cereals<br />
5. Canned Fruits and Vegetables<br />
<br />
Amazed? You can now remove your diet chains and have more freedom<br />
in making healthy food choices.<br />

Lain pa kay may sip-on kag kan-on nga dala. </div><div>Joke. </div><div>Kadlaw nga daan!<br /></div><div>Hehehe...<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Here are some tips and tricks to help us in our mock interview:<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>::MY PERSONAL TIPS::</div><div></div><div>In 2006, I happened to have free time during the summer that I found it useful to look for a job - a job that is totally different from nursing that I would find equally or more enjoyable. It is concerned mostly with client complaints and one that involves a lot of active listening and therapeutic communication. I learned a lot from the whole experience and I want to share some of it with you. Let's begin with the things I learned about how to succeed in an interview.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. One of the first things that one should do in preparing for an interview is to do extensive research. Research on interview tips. Research more about the company and the industry. Research about possible questions. Research about what it takes to ace the interview. Research about how to make an application letter and a resume. Research. Research. Research. Let me repeat that. Research. Research. Research. It's redundant but it pays a lot. It is probably one of the biggest tickets that will land you to your dream job. Some companies conduct tests to determine the proficiency of an applicant so if you do your homework, you'll be surprised by how far your knowledge will help you.</div><div><br /></div><div>During the interview, the interviewer asked me about the job description of the position I was vying for. I answered her about what it was my personal experience about them and I also mentioned that it is a part of a larger industry which is also in demand in the country. She said that she was impressed. From that comment, I regained my confidence and started to feel more comfortable.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Create the best resume and application letter. In an industry where there are a lot of applicants, the initial judgement will be based on these two important documents. Once you fail on these, pray that you will be given another chance. </div><div><br /></div><div>You should emphasize strengths, mention weaknesses but make it sound positive. Be sincere. Tell the truth but make your weaknesses into assets. Nobody is perfect. We make mistakes. But a mature professional knows that in order to grow, we should build on our strengths and learn from our weaknesses. Also, don't forget to bank on your previous experiences.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Know what YOU'RE looking for and know what THEY'RE looking for. Select possible employees that offer a lot of benefits for professional advancement and experience. Refer to their employee job description. This will serve as the basis for your resume and application letter. Modify your resume according to employee and to your career advancement.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. Practice your answers to probable interview questions. Some employers repeat the same questions or they rephrase it. You're lucky if you bump into one. You might think that it will sound that you've rehearsed a lot. Make it sound natural. In times of moderate anxiety that you will have during the interview, you will focus on important things. And you want your rehearsed answers to be among them.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. Be prepared for other questions. Just tell the truth but make it sound positive. Don't be too frank. Think before you speak. "No buts" is a no-no. Use it often or use its synonym, however. It will help you justify a previous statement. It is where you'll butt in positive statements.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. Share your experiences and give examples in your answers. Don't answer a Yes or No Question with a Yes or No. Add more information.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>7. When given a difficult question. Answer in one sentence only. The more things you say the more errors you'll commit.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>8. Be passionate. Be confident.</div><div><br /></div><div>9. Do deep breathing. Don't slouch.</div><div><br /></div><div>10. Don't forget to ask a question. It is not just a one-way approach. Asking a question shows that you are assertive enough and you are interested.</div><div><br /></div><div>11. Enjoy.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Tune in next week for more tips...:-)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div>::TIPS from OTHER SITES::</div></div><div><br /></div><div>interviewstrategies.com</div><div>careercc.com</div><div>job-interview.net</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>REALIZATION::</div><div><i>I realized that passion for the job should take precedence and it should begin from the decision to take the job, it continues in the interview process and it should be sustained until retirement.</i></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>----------------------<br />Copyright © 2007.

It's CSF!</em><br /><em></em><br />Are you having severe headaches, horizontal diplopia, change in hearing, tinnitus, blurring of vision, facial numbness or upper limb radicular symptoms (tingling)? You may be having CSF leakage. CSF leaks occur at the level of the spine especially the thoracic and cervicothoracic junction. They may be caused by overdraining CSF shunts or they follow spinal surgery, weaknesses in the roof of the middle ear or nasal trauma or surgery. <span style="font-size:78%;">(Click </span><a href="http://www.dizziness-and-balance.com/disorders/central/csf-leak.html"><span style="font-size:78%;">here</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> or <a href="http://www.emedicine.com/radio/topic139.htm">here</a> for more information.)<br /></span><br />Depending on the location, CSF leaks have different cool names: CSF rhinorrhea, CSF otorrhea or Spinal CSF leak, among others.<br /><br />Wait!<br /><br />I can see that you are having nasal discharges. It might be CSF so I guess I'll stop here. Let me just introduce you to the newest section in NurseKnowledge: CSF LEAK!<br /><br /><strong>CSF LEAK!</strong><br />In this section, we'll tackle the hardest facts and issues in Nursing and its allied fields and hopefully, it will help all student nurses, nurses, and other health professionals alike.<br /><br />In the first series of CSF LEAK!, NurseKnowledge will tackle one of the most difficult challenges of students and professionals alike: Interview Questions.<br /><br />PS: Beta-2-Transferrin is a carbohydrate-free (desialated) isoform of transferrin and it is almost only found in CSF. It is a specific marker for CSF leak. It cannot be found in blood, mucus or tears. Glucose and protein determination also aid in the diagnosis of CSF leak.

It presented their hopes, dreams, triumphs and tribulations. It also reflected a harsh reality: that care and compassion, sometimes, comes second to personal prosperity.<br /><br /> Considering that it is an indie film, the movie is a thumbs up for showcasing a stellar cast and for mirroring an accurate depiction of the life of student nurses. Yet, it doesn't come without flaws. The storyline is not weaved perfectly and more emotions and heavier performances are expected from the cast.<br /><br /> Just like this review, the movie is so BITIN. I'm giving it 3 over 5 stars.<br /><br /> Now, I'm leaving you the chance to air your boos or claps.<br /><br /><br /><br />POINTS TO PONDER:<br /><br />1. Did you like the movie?<br />2.

Ensure blood pressure is in normal range. (check series of BP; elderly has isolated type of hypertension–increase systolic with normal or high diastolic; Primary-due to obstruction, change in blood vessel; secondary-due to medical problems; hypotension is more dangerous in the elderly than hypertension)<br />2. Prevent and eliminate sources of pressure on the body. (constricting clothes such as socks, panty, choker, bracelet; advice the use of loose clothing)<br />3. Remind or assist patient to change position frequently.<br />4. Prevent pooling of blood in the extremities. (such as prolong standing; prone to develop DVT) 5. Encourage physical activity (such as stretching activities as tolerated by the person; avoid strenuous activities).<br />6. Prevent hypothermia, maintain body warmth.<br />7. Massage the body. (massage lightly it may cause purpura; done to aid circulation; skin is not tough and tight, subcutaneous tissue and blood vessels are thin; prone to bleeding and sensitive to pressure)<br />8. Monitor drugs for hypotensive effect.<br />9. Educate to reduce risk of cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol, obesity and inactivity.<br />10. Periodic exams of physical and mental health.<br /><br />Source:<br />Lecture Notes from Mrs. Michelle Z. Jagunap, RN. July 2007.
