Basic Facts About Acupuncture, Chicago
Basic Facts About Acupuncture, Chicago
Due to the various side effects associated with the normal painkillers, acupuncture treatment is practiced as an alternative medicine aid by many modern health practitioners. Acupuncture basically originated in China nearly 2,500 years back. However, some also say that it was practiced by the ancient Egyptians much before that. For the last few decades this has become very popular all across the world including the United States. Here, there are more than 8000 qualified acupuncturists, 16 acupuncture schools and 2 medical institutions teaching acupuncture. Chicago, being an important city has also some reputed centers for undergoing this treatment.
Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture is not a mere pain control technique. This treatment is not only about inserting needles in the different parts of the body to interrupt the nerve pathways that send pain messages to the brain.
This method can treat any malady and works to balance the energy of the entire body. Acupuncture can be used to treat a variety of gastro-intestinal, eye and mouth, respiratory, muscular, and neurological disorders. This treatment can also be used to stop smoking, lower blood pressure, relieve constipation, reduce weight, alleviate anxiety, insomnia, asthma, allergies, and skin disorders.
Theory of acupuncture is based on the principle that there are patterns of energy flow through the body and disruptions of this current usually cause diseases. Human body has a network of energy channels or meridians that are associated with the physiological system and internal organs. According to the theory of acupuncture, there are twelve principal meridians that run the length of the body. A human body has 350 acupuncture points (these are specific locations situated along the meridians). In this treatment, fine, flexible needles, about a diameter of human hair, are inserted into points along the main meridians of the body. Inserting needles unblocks or stimulates the energy flow through the meridians in a very measured and predictable way. Acupuncture mainly aims at correct imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin. In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates acupuncture needles, just as it does other devices such as surgical scalpels and hypodermic syringes, to ensure hundred percent sterility and good practicing standards.

Discounts available and the quotes on car insurance
We all want to get the best car insurance quotes when looking for a new policy. And with every year passing by it seems harder and harder to fulfill. Car insurance quotes tend to increase over time since repairing medical costs are constantly on the rise in this country, and these are the primary elements in the equation of the final rates you will be charged with. Still, there are always means to optimize your costs and car insurance isn't an exception. One of the most overlooked methods for decreasing insurance costs is using discounts that are available at just any insurance company. The amount and requirements for discounts may vary from company to company, but there's a common list of discounts that all providers tend to share. When looking for auto insurance quotes that are unaffordable you will find that these are some of the most widespread incentives to employ:
Loyal customer
Drivers who stay with the same company over a long period of time usually get a discount for every consecutive year of continuing their policy. The requirement varies from company to company but it's usually 3-5 years of uninterrupted coverage to qualify.
No claims
If you manage to avoid filing any claims over a period of time then you will get a no claims discount. It can be very effective in optimizing your insurance costs.
There will, however, be a period of 3-5 years where you have to avoid making any claims and the discount will be lost instantly the moment you actually get into an accident.
Multiple cars
Households with several cars can get lower quotes if they cover all the vehicles with the same policy. It's easier for insurers to do all the paperwork for several cars at a time and the coverage risk tends to be lower with several cars compared to a single vehicle.
Multiple policy
This discount applies only to car insurance companies that provide a broad range of insurance services. If you have a home insurance policy with the same provider you're looking forward to buying car insurance from, your car insurance quotes will be lower. Make sure to ask your current insurance provider whether they offer car insurance.
Good student
Teenage drivers always get high car insurance quotes because they are classified as high risk. However, if you're a good student the insurance company will regard you as a responsible person and provide you with a discount. You'll have to provide a copy of your grade report on a regular basis to keep this discount active.
Low mileage
The less you drive the less likely it is for you to have an accident. That's why insurers usually provide good discounts to drivers whose yearly mileage doesn't exceed the average limit of 10,000 miles.
Senior driver
Senior citizens usually get higher car insurance quotes because they tend to produce collisions more often. However, most companies tend to decrease the financial impact for them and provide drivers who are aged over 65 with reasonable discounts.
Military worker
Members of the military and certain groups of governmental agency workers may get a good cut in their insurance rates. It is advised to consult with the particular insurance provider on the matter.
Homes Volunteer
Homes Volunteer

Figures show that within the next year, will add 215-funded nursing home places and 115 day care places. As for training carers of the regional training program has been extended to the territory Neighbourhood Elderly Centre, two thousand four completed the training. However, scholars have described the progress of social workers and drop in the bucket. Service centers for the elderly not to consider the demand that the Government will not only increase, nor care to the increasingly complex social problems.

If the sick or elderly family in need of care, and family members are unable to provide appropriate care, stay Homes is one way.
To enable the elderly to enjoy the best quality of life, our parents are willing to spend! Selection of residential care homes should pay attention to where exactly? Residential care homes for the elderly, generally require special care or lack of self-care ability, and their families are unable to provide care, such as suffering from senile dementia or those who had a stroke, even if the employment of foreign domestic helpers are also difficult to care. However, many people think that once the homes into nursing homes will be gone home for the elderly, in fact, this concept is outdated, if the appropriate high-quality homes to stay in the adequate support and care, the elderly have the opportunity to successfully rehabilitation, home to lead a normal life. So choose a suitable Care Home residential care homes, the health of the elderly have a major impact.
To find well-paid job is the most inexperienced young ideal, but an elder abuse news but the idea of changing the mandy, but also because this piece of news, he gave up just at the start of the work, entrepreneurship, the innovation is seen as more Social care and attention homes unprofitable enterprises, to assist the elderly in need to arrange a suitable homes. mandy said to Cheung Chau to visit an elderly residential care homes, mandy said also to the front entry Homes Volunteer, not graduated when the University, this returns to visit senior centers, so cordial, Wu Shao Chung brought back memories. And his care for the elderly want to wake up the younger generation to defend the traditional Chinese concept of filial piety.

The Nursing Process (page 2)
Regardless of practice area or specialty, nurses use the same framework of nursing care, called the nursing process. The American Nurses Association describes the nursing process as the crucial core of practice delivering holistic, client-focused nursing care. Originally a five-phase process, the nursing process today consists of six phases: assessment, diagnosis, outcomes identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation.
Assessment: Assessment is the systematic collection of subjective (what the client says) and objective (what the nurse sees, hears, smells, and feels) information from the client. During this phase, nurses consider the physical, psychological, sociocultural, and spiritual factors that may affect the client's health situation. Nurses perform initial, comprehensive assessments when they first admit a client to a hospital setting, when they accept a new client into a physician's office or clinic, and when they first visit a home healthcare client. These assessments are quite detailed and require significant time to perform because of the amount of data needed when clients have problems that have yet to be identified. Nurses complete focused assessments on clients whose problem has been identified to note whether that problem has worsened, improved, or resolved. These assessments are shorter in duration and more concise, and they are typically performed on a regular basis. For example, a nurse working in an intensive care unit may assess a client's blood pressure every few minutes. Time-elapsed visits also require nursing assessment. These vary in duration and frequency, depending on the client's health issues. Examples include annual health visits for children or interval assessments for weight reduction. The last but crucial type is emergency assessment for life-threatening situations when nurses must remember their ABCs—airway, breathing, and circulation, especially for clients with heart or lung problems. Nurses must also have emergency psychological skills in order to assess clients who may want to kill themselves or harm others.
Diagnosis: While APNs can make medical diagnoses, most nurses cannot. Nurses diagnose human responses to actual or potential health problems after analyzing and interpreting the data they collect from their assessment. The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA) defines nursing diagnosis as "a clinical judgment about individual, family or community responses to actual or potential health problems or life processes, which provide the basis for selection of nursing interventions to achieve outcomes for which the nurse is accountable." Nursing diagnoses guide the selection of interventions that are likely to produce the desired treatment effects and determine nurse-sensitive outcomes. They also provide a means of communicating client care requirements to other nurses.
Outcomes identification: Nurses use assessments and diagnoses to create measurable and achievable short- and long-term goals. The newest addition to the nursing process, outcome identification, provides individualized care, promotes client participation, plans care that is realistic and measurable, and allows for the involvement of support personnel. Nurses use their knowledge and skills to prioritize client outcomes. High priorities include lifethreatening situations like hemorrhaging, events that require immediate attention such as discharge planning, and issues that are extremely important to the client such as pain. Low priorities involve problems that usually resolve with little attention, such as discomfort from minor surgery.
Planning: Planning refers to the development of nursing strategies that can alleviate the client's problems. To meet the standards of the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the plan must be developed by an RN, documented in the client's healthcare record, and reflect the standards of care established by the institution and the profession. Medicare and Medicaid, and some third-party reimbursement plans (e.g., health insurance) require care plans for each client.
Implementation: Nurses implement client care according to the care plan to assure the continuity of care during hospitalization, discharge, and home care. The purpose of this action phase of the nursing process is to provide individualized therapeutic and technical care to help the client achieve an optimal level of health. Nurses may delegate some interventions to other members of the healthcare team; however, RNs maintain the responsibility and accountability for the supervision and evaluation of these personnel.
Evaluation: RNs continuously evaluate both the client's status and the effectiveness of the client's care. They then modify the care plan as needed. During this phase, nurses conduct a thorough, systematic review of the effectiveness of their nursing interventions and a determination of client goal achievement. The nurse appraises goal attainment jointly with the client. While evaluation is a distinct phase, it occurs throughout the nursing process to assure prompt reassessment, rediagnosing, and replanning when needed.
Nursing Notes
Making a Difference, One Patient at a Time, by Jolynn Sannicandro
My preceptor and I stood outside a room as she gave me the report on a patient who was admitted that morning. She explained to me that the patient was fresh out of surgery for a total laryngectomy and that the patient's voice box had been completely removed due to laryngeal cancer. My preceptor further identified my objectives for the morning, which included assessing the patient from head to toe, obtaining vital signs every four hours, monitoring output, suctioning the patient, changing the patient's feeding tubes, and providing wound care.
As my preceptor left to tend to another patient, I took a deep breath and walked into the patient's room. She was sitting in a chair with her feet elevated on a stool and a trachea collar attached to oxygen and humidified air. There were two drains located below the right and left clavicles, which appeared to be patent based on the accumulation of fluid. I grasped the stethoscope around my neck and proceeded to introduce myself. As I began my full body assessment, I observed other devices attached to the patient that I had learned about in lecture and seen in clinical practice, such as a catheter and a nasogastric tube. The catheter was properly placed by the nurse. It was taut against her thigh and below the bladder. The nasogastric tube was connected to a pump and there was formula flowing from the feeding bag through the tube and into the patient. The woman had a nervous but kind smile and warm eyes behind thick round glasses. The patient's fear for her own well-being was compounded by her awareness of my own self-doubt. This being only my second day at this hospital, I was still experiencing the butterflies that come with every unfamiliar and challenging experience. However, I placed my own apprehension aside and thought back to the nursing classes that had more than adequately prepared me for the current situation I was in, dealing with a patient who was scared and needed a medical professional who she could trust. I had no idea that this initial placing of trust would be the beginning of the kind of relationship that is at the heart of the nursing profession.
The patient remained under the hospital's care for several weeks. I was assigned this same patient every clinical rotation and began to grow closer to her. Although communicating was difficult because everything she wanted to say to me had to be written on a notepad, I was still able to read her emotionally by looking for nonverbal cues. As a nursing student I had been trained to become more aware of a patient's emotional state by observing for something as subtle as a slight change in a patient's facial expression.
I was also able to glimpse the life of the patient through her large, close-knit family, who visited her daily. I came to know the patient's family when they would visit her to play board games, watch her favorite soap opera, or share stories about their day. Throughout these visits I saw the interactions the family members had with the patient and quickly realized how important her family was to her.
One day after a visit by the family members I was checking the patient's vital signs; she tapped me on the shoulder to show me a note she had just written on her pad that said, "Do you think I will be out of here in a month to see my niece get married?" Taking her hand in mine I told her that I could not promise her when she would be discharged from the hospital, because I did not want to instill in her a false sense of hope. However, I assured her that the healthcare professionals and I would be there with her every step of the way on her journey toward recovery. With that, the patient gave me a smile and squeezed my hand.
After I assured the patient that I would be there for her, I made sure she continued to build her strength by walking around the floor with her, washing her hair, or just simply spending time with her when her family was not there. As I did these things, I could see before my own eyes that her health and morale were slowly improving. This pattern continued for several weeks before she was finally discharged from the hospital. On her last day, the day before her niece's wedding, she wrote me one last note that said, " I couldn't have done this without you; I love you." After giving her a hug and a kiss, I realized that moments like this are why I wake up early for clinical and spend long hours in the library. I truly felt, and her note confirmed, that I was an integral part of this woman's recovery. The experience I encountered with this patient showed me that this career allows me to touch the lives of people in ways that people in other fields will never get to experience.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
For a student who is insecure and scared of other like me, I think this high school is the best high school in Redwood City. This school made me feel confident about myself with the friendly teachers and well mannered students. loved it.
Sequoia is the great with all the staff and teachers there to support us students along the way. I never felt unsure to enroll in Sequoia. It has been my dream to be able to go to Sequoia. There are many programs that you can enroll like the health academy, it puts students toward the health field. It is really worth it to join the academies and other programs. Everyone in Sequoia even the parents are very socialable. Hope to see you guys come by and check Sequoia out, because it is really worth it.
SHS does an amazing job at educating ALL of its students, without creating a divided campus (which other schools in the area tend to do). My daughter noticed right away that there are no cliques or racial divisions at SHS. The teachers get better and better with each grade. Bonnie Hansen is a phenomenal principal, quick to respond, wise in her administration, warm, and well-respected. School spirit is high. As soon as my daughter shadowed, she knew it was the school for her and hasn't looked back.
great school / even better programs & teachers
One of our sons graduated from Sequoia, and two sons currently attend. Sequoia is a great high school -- teachers are smart and caring, the students are well-behaved and focused, and the parent community is friendly and down to earth. Our son attends a highly selective liberal arts college and says he was very well prepared for college!
We are a San Carlos family with a child at Sequoia. We have been so pleased with the school's excellent staff/faculty, friendly student body, and beautiful campus.
My kids have attended both private and public high school and my feeling is that Sequoia HS is a great school that defies its long outdated reputation. The principal and her staff are excellent communicators, who act with purpose and compassion. The teachers are young, energetic and engage the students. The athletics are competitive without being overly competitive, so most kids get lots of playing time instead of just a few. This school is safe, with a strong parent community and a great dedicated staff. For whatever reason, parents and local papers without direct knowledge of Sequoia tend to bad mouth the school, despite its many changes over the years.
I really hate this school. I'im in the IB but most of the teachers are new to the IB and don't understand the concepts or system well enough to ensure that the students are being shown in the best possible light. If it weren't for me being required by my parents to keep doing the IB - I would be quick to change schools to a friendlier, calmer environment.
Because the teachers there are really wonderful. They give a lot of support to the kids going there and they really go out of their way to help them. The grounds are beautiful and feel as though it is more a college campus than high school. My son loves it there and is very happy to have the teachers he does.
As a graduate of Sequoia's International Baccalaureate program, I can't say enough good things about the place. Sure, IB required more studious efforts on my part, but I really feel prepared for college-level work. The school has undergone some new renovations(science wing, languages, art dept) and looks even more fantastic than before. Truly, it has one of the most beautiful campuses of any high school in the bay area. The student population is diverse, and the teachers and staff really care about their students. My teachers were top notch. I can't say I love them for assigning those essays and presentations, but they did a really good job of preparing us for the world and beyond. Sequoia is the Bay Area's best kept secret. PS: AP can't substitute for the lifelong friendships and values I've discovered from IB.
My son graduated from Sequoia. The teachers were the best thing to happen for his academic career. Many thanks to the staff.
Excellent teachers, great support staff, beautiful campus. Thanks Sequoia for caring about my kids! You truly are 'Unaliyi' - a place of friends.
The IB program has been a wonderful addition to Sequoia. The work is just as rigorous as students get in nearby private schools, and the teachers in the program are engaging, caring, and creative.
Sequoia is a great school with new programs. The honors classes are small and have excellent teachers. The IB porgram is wonderful as well. The regular classes are large and students tend not to do as well as those in honors courses. It is an excellent choice for students who want to achieve high academic standards and take honors or IB courses
My son is a freshman at Sequoia High School in the ICAP/IB program. We chose this school, despite the historical reputation, because we were so impressed by the teachers, the students, the academics, and the many fine elective choices, including music and art. This school is ethnically diverse, which I consider a strength. The students are encouraged and taught to have respect for each other and their different cultures. The teachers and staff are dedicated to quality education. The principal is a strong leader and the parent involvement is high. I would encourage parents and students considering this school to shadow, attend the open houses and presentations, and talk to the teachers and students.
I believe this school is struggling to meet the needs of their second language learners and do not feel confident that they have enough focus on their average academic students
SHS has made huge changes since the 90's. People still think of it as a lower-quality school, but after going there (2000-2004), I feel that it's better than the other schools in the district. The people are open-minded, activities are fun, and everything is 100% better than it used to be. The landscape and the atmosphere make it so relaxing and a great place to learn.
I have a daughter (Graduated 2001) here who did more work in 7th & 8th grade (in Redwood City Public School) than in all of high school. There was little motivation. However, her last two years new teachers began to replace older, apathetic ones. Principal Marchbanks has done a decent job of reinvigorating the school, but it still has a long way to go. If a kid is very self-motivated, they can get a good education here, as the teachers are willing and capable. But promoting academic excellence is still a great challenge as many students don't speak English nor have been exposed to US education. The IB program is an interesting possibility.
It's been a great school. I know I had 5 children finish school in 1966, 1968, 1969, 1975, 1976.All are doing great in the world.
