Pretty decent weekend overall. Nothing big had to be done. Youngest had her senior prom and seemed to be in good spirtis. I got a little jacked up by my barber and will have to be dealing with that for a few days. Watch my latest video for more info on that. The wife and I are experiencing the opposite of empty nest syndrome and have many non-kid vacations planned for this year and next. I started thinking we should let them know we still wouldn't mind spending (limited) time with them. So we got to looking this weekend and found a cruise for summer of 2026 we'll invite all the offsprings to. Some are excited, one almost had to be talked into it. But there we are.

FREEDOM! I still have one at home although at her current pace I don't doubt she will move out to attend school or intern somewhere soon enough. We've done a few big vacations without her (she is not eager to go with us) but, like you, we have a 2026 cruise planned which will include all the offspring and their significant others.
Ugh, we haven't entertained the "can I bring?" yet.

Well even though @Spider has lost his "regular barfly" status at Drinks and Daves, we did talk about bees last night. PLUS used an app KJ made us aware of to create a preety cool song on the fly. See all the fun we have?!? Covering for one person at work wasn't bad, but covering for 2, blows. I found out yesterday my boss likely won't be back until end of June. Double blowage.

Wasn't Double Blowage your stripper name in college?

Yes, do tell.So what was it then?
Dave, I came across this research on nurses’ attitudes towards AI in healthcare. I’ve only read the overview, so I cannot offer anything more than a thumbnail perspective. You probably have full access at work. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on this.
I could write paragraphs on this article. But first, if you want the whole thing, PM me and I can email the PDF.
Basically I'm surprised they got this published, but I feel that way about a lot of research. Reading through it I kept waiting for them to explain what their working definition of "AI" is. Didn't see it. So who know if everyone was thinking of the same thing when answering. I even looked at their appendix to see if they included the questionaire for the study. Nope. Weaksauce if you ask me.
So, what is the AI that they speak of is the question. I mentioned on Drinks & Daves or our Zoom calls, can't remember which, that we have AI running in the background of the medical record all the time if you're in the hospital. Mostly for the task of what was mentioned in the article of dealing with large amounts of data. It will compare data points from many sources and pop up alerts if the patient could be developing sepsis, or more often is on the verge of decompensating so an assigned RN can respond, assess, and then work with the MD on interventions to avoid the need for a transfer to the ICU or transfer earlier than might have occured without the alert. Any organization that doesn't have things like that in place has to be missing opprotunities for early interventions.
The whole concern about AI taking nursing jobs or tasks is what I really wanted to know about. I know in our organization anything we find to take a task away from a person is golden because they have more time for other things that do require bodies. We have "tele sitters" for patients that are confused and try to get out of bed without assistance and are a known fall risk. The ones that are redirectable just need someone to remind them not to get out of bed. We can pay a person to sit in the room to remind them from time to time. Or we can put a monitor in the room connected to a remote station where one person can watch many patients and then speak to them through the monitor for the reminder. One staff person replaced many, but we didn't downsize, there were plenty of tasks we needed those people for that weren't covered because we needed more sitters that day. But that's on AI, that's just remote monitoring.
