Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital T2 Associates Receive DAISY Team Award for 2018

 

The Department of Nursing staff at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital’s Tower 2 (T2) medical-surgical unit was recently honored with The DAISY Team Award for 2018 for extraordinary, compassionate and skillful care.

Part of an international program, The DAISY Team Award honors collaboration among two or more nurse-led associates who identify and meet patient and/or patient family needs by going “above and beyond” the traditional role of Nursing.

“We are proud to participate in the National DAISY Award program,” said Jefferson Health’s New Jersey Chief Nurse Executive Helene Burns, DNP, RN, NEA-BC. “Our Nursing team members’ work is highly valued, and The DAISY Foundation provides an ideal forum for us to convey that.”

Nurses are nominated for individual DAISY Awards throughout the year by current and past patients (or their family members), physicians, nurses, or other Jefferson Health personnel for demonstrating excellence through clinical expertise, extraordinary compassionate care, and a high-level of professionalism. Winners are selected following a review of nominations by the Jefferson (NJ) Clinical Recognition Committee.

The nonprofit DAISY Foundation was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died in late 1999 from complications of an auto-immune disease. The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique way of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patients’ families.

Comply with the Law and Hire a Trash Removal Company

(February 13, 2019)--New Jersey has strict laws regarding proper waste segregation. You need to throw your garbage away in the right place. You also need to remove the items that are for recycling. You might get fined if you throw them away. Whether you live in your own house or you are renting another person’s place, you need to comply with these laws.

 

Label the trash

 

You can start by labeling the trash bins at home. You need to inform your guests to comply with the rules. You can even set penalties at home for those who violate the use of the labels. It is also easy to remind everyone about this rule if you have labels. If they are not enough, you can put reminders and notes in key places around the house.

 

Be diligent in segregating waste

Part Two: Early History of The City of Gloucester City: Hugg's Tavern and The Marriage of Betsy Ross

originally published 1964

Hugg’s Tavern

This relic of Colonial days was recently demolished to make room for a public park on the river front at Gloucester City (New Jersey). It vied in olden times with the Indian King at Haddonfield as a public meeting place but was the center of more happenings because Gloucester was the county seat until 1786. The Gloucester Fox Hunting Club kept its hounds in Gloucester, and Hugg’s Tavern was its principal rendezvous.

Within its substantial brick walls important banquets, conferences and meetings took place. The Committee on Observation and Correspondence met there, and when the British and Hessians under ord Cornwallis occupied Gloucester its spacious rooms were used by military officers. This was offset from a patriotic standpoint a couple of years later, when the confiscated real estate of some of the tories was sold there at public auction by the Commissioners of Forfeited Estates, John Sparks and Samuel Kaign.

OPINION: Meet The Indian & Black Thugs

Bill Donohue | CNBNews Contributor

 

January 24, 2019

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on who the guilty parties are in the

Covington Catholic controversy:
 
The Catholic white boys from Covington Catholic High School—hated because they are Catholic, white, male, and Trump supporters (some of them)—have been indicted by lots of pundits, politicians, reporters, and celebrities, both liberal and conservative. Yet the record shows that the students were the only innocent party to this fracas. None of them said or did anything bigoted, but this is not true of the Indians and the black Israelites.
 
A group of about 20 Indians, led by activist Nathan Phillips, tried to storm a Mass on January 19 at the Basilica of the National Shrine of Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C. They were stopped by security who had to lock the doors. This is what the Nazis did to the Jews in Hitler's Germany—they crashed the synagogues during services.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: If Buena wrestler didn't know rules, his coach had to

 

CNBNews graphics file

I give Buena Regional High School wrestler Andrew Johnson an "A" for deciding to get his hair cut so he could help his team get a win -- although he should have gotten his hair cut it earlier in the season.

According to philly.com, an official who was also a former Buena wrestler met with this year's team before the season and explained the need for Johnson, who had dreadlocks, to either have his hair trimmed or obtain a complying head covering. Blame Buena's coach for not having his team in compliance with the rules when referee Alan Maloney cited Johnson during a match.
