Empowering Nurses To Love Themselves

As a nurse, what is in the realm of my ability to help, to change a situation for the better, to help a grieving person, to give comfort and grace, As a nurse, what is in the realm of my ability to help, to change a situation for the better, to help a grieving person, to give comfort and grace, As I think of ways to help other people, I must be constantly on the lookout for all the ways I must heal, thus to empower myself. Say "YES" to unseen forces such as angels, higher guides and God/ess. You can get what you want by knowing you don't need it to be happy. Focus your attention on all the great things in your life and appreciate them all, one by one. Any residual feelings of lack will dissipate. Be patient in the Divine Timeline. Allow your major goal to be: to live with optimism and trust, and all your desires will be met. Seek a peaceful mind and heart, because this is where all blessings flow. Use your journal to release your negative thoughts. If feeling depressed, write down what you are thinking and feeling, then write down a more positive assumption. Know that the Higher Intelligence of all creation vibrates and pulsates around you and everyone else at all times. Honor yourself, Honor all sentient Beings. Release competitive thoughts and see people in a different light. The power of your own personal vibration has the power to transform the planet. Choose the power of love to heal your life. Think love, feel love, beam love in all your interactions and the Gift Of Life Is Yours.

The weight is then transmitted to a beam that can be balanced by moving a counterpoise, which is an element of the scale that counterbalances the weight on the platform. This form of scale is used for applications such as the weighing of drums or even the weighing of animals in a veterinary office. Spring Balance This balance utilizes Hooke's Law which states that the stress in the spring is proportional to the strain. Spring balances consist of a highly elastic helical spring of hard steel suspended from a fixed point. The weighing pan is attached at the lowest point of the spring. An indicator shows the weight measurement and no manual adjustment of weights is necessary. An example of this type of balance would be the scale used in a grocery store to weigh produce. Top-Loading Balance This is another balance used primarily in a laboratory setting. They usually can measure objects weighing around 150-5000 g.

They offer less readability than an analytical balance, but allow measurements to be made quickly thus making it a more convenient choice when exact measurements are not needed. Top-loaders are also more economical than analytical balances. Modern top-loading balances are electric and give a digital readout in seconds. Torsion Balance Measurements are based on the amount of twisting of a wire or fiber. Many microbalances and ultra-microbalances, that weigh fractional gram values, are torsion balances. A common fiber type is quartz crystal. Triple-Beam Balance This type of balance is less sensitive than a top-loading balance. They are often used in a classroom situation because of ease of use, durability and cost. They are called triple-beam balances because they have three decades of weights that slide along individually calibrated scales. The three decades are usually in graduations of 100g, 10g and 1g. These scales offer much less readability but are adequate for many weighing applications. A balance has special use and care procedures just like other measuring equipment. Items to be measured should be at room temperature before weighing.

A hot item will give a reading less than the actual weight due to convection currents that make the item more buoyant. And, if your balance is enclosed, warm air in the case weighs less than air of the same volume at room temperature. Another important part of using a balance is cleaning. Scales are exposed to many chemicals that can react with the metal in the pan and corrode the surface. This will affect the accuracy of the scale. Also, keep in mind that a potentially dangerous situation could occur if a dusting of chemicals is left on the balance pan. In many lab and classroom situations, more than one person uses a single scale for weighing. It would be impossible for each person to know what everyone else has been weighing. There is a chance that incompatible chemicals could be brought into contact if left standing or that someone could be exposed to a dangerous chemical that has not been cleaned from the balance. To avoid damaging the scale or putting others in danger, the balance should be kept extremely clean.

A camel's hair brush can be used to remove any dust that can spill over during weighing. Calibration is another care issue when it comes to scales. A scale cannot be accurate indefinitely; they must be rechecked for accuracy. There are weight sets available that allow users to calibrate the scale themselves or the scales can be calibrated by hiring a professional to calibrate them on site. The correct weight set needs to be chosen when calibrating a scale. The classes of weight sets start from a Class One which provides the greatest precision, then to Class Two, Three, Four and F and finally go down to a Class M, which is for weights of average precision. Weight sets have class tolerance factors, and as a general rule, the tolerance factor should be greater than the readability of the scale. Class 1 provides the greatest precision and is used for calibrating high precision analytical balances.
