Limerick Day, May 12th It filled Galileo with mirth To watch his two rocks fall to Earth. He gladly proclaimed, "Their rates are the same, And quite independent of girth!" Then Newton announced in due course His own law of gravity's force: "It goes, I declare, As the inverted square Of the distance from object to source." But remarkably, Einstein's equation Succeeds to describe gravitation As spacetime that's curved, And it's this that will serve As the planets' unique motivation. 2 C M E= Yet the end of the story's not written; By a new way of thinking we're smitten. We twist and we turn, Attempting to learn The Superstring Theory of Witten! For every marriage then is best in tune, When that the wife is May, the husband June. ~Rowland Watkyns Cinco De Mayo Cinco De M a yo commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the more numerous French troops in Puebla, Mexico, on May 5th, 1862. Napoleon III, the emperor of France, sent 6,000 troops to Mexico in his plan to extend his power in Latin America. When the French Army reached Puebla, they were met by 4,800 Mexican soldiers. Even though the Mexicans were outnumbered, they managed to defeat the French. Today, Cinco De Mayo celebrations promote cultural awareness and are celebrated with Mexican food, Mariachi bands and dancers. Page 3 Celebrate the Nurses Fa c e y our de f ic ie nc ie s a nd acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them teach you patience, sweetness, insight ... When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another. ͑ Save one life, you’re a hero. Save 100 lives, you’re a nurse. ~Anonymous Our job as nurses is to cushion the sorrow and celebrate the joy every day, while we are “just doing our jobs.” ~Christine Belle ~Helen Keller You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you’ll win, no matter what the outcome. ~Patch Adams I attribute my success to this — I never gave or took any excuse. ~Florence Nightingale Who Knew? ¯ All the planets in our solar system could be placed inside the planet Jupiter. ¯ The first letter of every continent’s name is the same as the last: AmericA, AntarcticA, EuropE, AsiA, AustraliA, AfricA. Kentucky Derby ¯ The “Run for the Roses” takes place on May 5th-8th. About 1.5 million people will head to Louisville for the big event! When viewed from above, rainbows are doughnut-shaped. ¯ Some dinosaurs were as small as hens. ¯ The only Union survivor of Custer’s Last Stand was his horse, Commanche. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen every day. ~H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Nurses are angels in comfortable shoes. ~Author Unknown Medical Memo: May is National Mental Health Month There are many different conditions that affect mental health, such as depression, dementia, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and schizophrenia. It’s often hard for those who aren’t familiar with mental illness to imagine it. But it is estimated that every year, about 61.5 million American adults suffer from some mental illness. Mood disorders such as depression are the third most common cause of hospitalization in the U.S. for both youth and adults ages 18 to 44. Individuals living with serious mental illness face an increased risk of having chronic medical conditions, and adults living with serious mental illness die on average 25 years earlier than other Americans, largely due to treatable medical conditions. Over 50 percent of students with a mental health condition age 14 and older who are served by special education drop out − the highest dropout rate of any disability group. Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S. (more common than homicide) and the third leading cause of death for ages 15 to 24 years. More than 90 percent of those who die by suicide had one or more mental disorders. Although military members comprise less than 1 percent of the U.S. population, veterans represent 20% of suicides nationally. Each day, about 22 veterans die from suicide Approximately 18.1% of American adults − about 42 million people − live with anxiety disorders, such as panic disorder, obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and phobias. About 9.2 million adults have co-occurring mental health and addiction disorders. But there is hope! Great strides in neurobiology and pharmaceuticals are promising a brighter future for those plagued with mental illness.
