Miami Valley Hospital South started to serve their patients remotely via robot.

Thru a robot, health care providers like nurses, diabetic educators, registered dietitians and wound specialists can have discussion with their patients at the Centerville hospital without leaving Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton. They are using joystick to control the robot's movement in the patient's location. They can turn its head, via computer monitor. The hospital is equipped with Web cams and microphone where webcams can be adjusted to change the angle and zoom-in/zoom-out its lenses.

Four years from now, nurses will be required to have a degree, the main education protest in the history of the NHS.

The goal of this announcement is to improve patient care and help nurses to bump up their position since they are known as the "handmaidens" of the doctors. However, others think of this move as an expensive period of study. Many people may not continue their nursing career. If this happens, qualified nurses with degrees will feel overqualified when doing tasks like taking patients to the toilet. They will just feel too lowly. According to Ann Keen, the Health Minister, the degree requirement will be implemented by 2013. The standards developed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) will require the nurses to have an equivalent international qualification. If nurses will have more responsibility and training in the decision-making in clinical judgments hospitals can guarantee new nurses will convene the challenges of tomorrow.

In spite of the long hours of work of nurses, low salary was being given to them. Frequently, their care giving tasks are often not appreciated. By means of the introduction of the first lifestyle magazine for nurses entitled "Scrubs", the jobs of nurses will be discussed and stretched out. According to Michael Singer, the Chief Executive of the Chatsworth-based company Strategic Partners Inc., the one who proposed the concept of the magazine, nurses have common traits and professional attitude. On the other hand, nurses share their issues as a caregiver. Career such as Nursing is more physically and emotionally demanding especially in a care giving.
