USI graduate to receive national neuroscience nursing award

0

Lauren Perrey ’08 BSN, has been selected as the recipient of the 2015 Rising Star in Clinical Practice Award from the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses (AANN). She will receive the award on March 31, 2015, at the AANN’s Annual Education Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee.

Perrey, of Indianapolis, is a registered nurse in a 33-bed Neuroscience Critical Care Unit at IU Health Methodist Hospital, which is a Comprehensive Stroke and Level 1 Trauma Center.

“In her short two-year experience on our unit, she has demonstrated a remarkably quick transition from the novice to competent stage in her career and is well on her way to expert,” said Julia Johnson, one of Perrey’s co-workers who nominated her for the AANN honor.

In her job, Perrey cares for patients who have had strokes, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain and spinal tumors, and vascular abnormalities such as aneurysms and arterial venous malformations.

“[Perrey] has skillfully cared for patients with each of these unfortunate diagnoses, validating her astute assessment skills, strong clinical judgment and most notably, compassion,” wrote Johnson. “As a tenured nurse on this unit, it is incredibly rewarding to witness a novice nurse blossom into a confident, well-respected part of our team. She has worked diligently to educate herself by staying current on practice improvement initiatives and becoming involved in supporting change for the better of our patients.”

Perrey thanked the nursing faculty at the University of Southern Indiana for preparing her for her career in nursing. “They gave me invaluable training and preparation … this award is a testament to the advanced and superior nursing education I received at USI.”

Perrey said she would be remiss if she didn’t also thank her co-workers on the Neuro Critical Care Unit. “They helped guide me through my first years as a nurse, and continue to amaze me daily with their hard work and compassion for our patients,” she said. “They are the best team I could have asked for, and I’m proud to call myself one of them.”

Lack of evidence allows periodontists to leave office space

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

Having failed to produce sufficient evidence that the terms of a lease agreement had been waived, a landlord will have to allow a pair of tenants to vacate the property with no financial penalty.

Curt Pearman filed a complaint for breach of contract against T. Ryan Jackson and Kristin Jackson after the periodontists moved from their office in the Greenwood Professional Park in May 2011. Their lease expired in December 2010, but the lease agreement allowed for the tenants to continue to occupy their space and make payment on a month-to-month basis.

To renew the lease for another three years, according to the agreement, the Jacksons would have had to give written notice to Pearman six months before their lease expired. They did not provide any written notice prior to December 2010. In March 2011, they sent a notice to Pearman stating they did not want to continue on a monthly basis and would be leaving the premises in two months.

Pearman sued, claiming the Jacksons had entered into another three-year lease by remaining in the office after the expiration of the first lease. Consequently, they were bound to pay the rent for the entirely of the second lease.

Johnson Superior Court disagreed and granted summary judgment in favor of the Jacksons.

On appeal, Pearman contended he waived the written notice requirement. Therefore, he argued, the Jacksons’ continued payment of rent established that the lease term was renewed.

The Indiana Court of Appeals affirmed in Curt Pearman d/b/a/ Greenwood Professional Park v. T. Ryan Jackson and Kristin M. Jackson, 41A04-1408-CC-381.

Pointing to the lease agreement and Carsten v. Eickhoff, 323 N.E.2d 664 (Ind. Ct. App. 1975), the Court of Appeals found that Pearman’s argument that the Jacksons had renewed their lease by remaining in the office was insufficient. In addition, the court noted Pearman had not presented any properly designated evidence to establish there had been a waiver of the written notice requirement needed to renew the lease.

The Court of Appeals found the clear and unambiguous terms of the lease agreement support the trial court’s conclusion.

IS IT TRUE January 27, 2014

146

IS IT TRUE that Mayor Winnecke made a disappointing presentation to City Council about the status of the proposed downtown Hotel last night? …it was obvious that the Mayor was totally out of his comfort zone talking about complex financial issues concerning his presently failed downtown Hotel project?  …we are pleased that he confirmed what the City County Observer has been saying for a while about the City, HCW and Hilton Corporation not having a legally signed franchised agreement between them

IS IT TRUE that it appears that City Council Democrats have grown weary of 2nd Ward City Councilwoman Missy Mosby and At-Large City Councilman Jonathan Weaver’s continued attacks on them? ….that the duo has over the last three years attacked publicly John Friend, Connie Robinson, Conor O’Daniel, Dan Adams, Al Lindsey and Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley?  ….that in supporting the Republican Mayor’s spending habits, the two have locked political horns with their fellow members while voting for the $5 million dollar Earthcare Energy loan, supporting  the original $38.5 million hotel bond, advocating the original $44 million Johnson Control contract, taking to the airwaves for a $10 million dog park and challenging the trimming of the City’s last three bloated budgets and an unproven Shotspotter? …that at last night’s City Council meeting Councilman Weaver was stripped of his three board appointments and replaced by other members? ….that Councilman Weaver and Councilwoman Mosby’s inability to work with Council members has led to their ousting from any and all positions of authority for City Council?  … that both should start preparing explanations for why they are wholly ineffective in garnering votes for their projects and why they warrant re-election?

IS IT TRUE we hear that the Republicans are working hard to find someone to run against the extremely popular and powerful 4th Ward City Councilwoman Connie Robinson?…many democratic party mover and shakers hope that this happens?  …if the Republicans succeed in finding someone to run against Mrs. Robinson you can expect the 4th Ward to have a massive turnout in support of Connie Robinson?…if this happens one can expect that Gail Riecken and Democratic At-large City Council candidates campaigns will benefit greatly?

IS IT TRUE Mayor Winnecke stood before the Evansville City Council last night to advise them that he and his team have been working with HCW and Old National to downgrade and downsize the proposed convention hotel to a five story wrap around style with only 240 rooms?…the target for the new cost will be $36 Million with $7.5 Million coming from the City of Evansville and the remainder coming from ONB’s naming rights scheme and from HCW?…it is assumed that the other $12.5 Million originally committed by the City Council will go for infrastructure to support the hotel?…even the rooftop martini bar is going to remain but the apartments and the parking garage are not?…the reality is that the only need for a parking garage in the first place was for security?…with the recent shootings on the back 40 it is hard to imagine getting anyone to sign up to attend a convention in Evansville no matter what gets built?…when the next paragraph is obsolete, there may be hope for conventions?…until then it is a pipe dream?

IS IT TRUE that the Courier and Press ran a story last weekend that concluded that “an entire generation has been lost on Evansville’s South Side”?…while it is fulfilling to see the problems of South Evansville get some exposure in the mainstream media that calls out the serious problems with guns, drugs, and violence, it is also important to note that the crimes are being committed by a small percentage of the population?…by and large there are many more hardworking, God-fearing, and law abiding people living on the South Side than there are thugs and criminals?…the real problem is that the thug and criminal element has become so thoroughly entrenched that they control the streets and the law abiding citizens with fear and intimidation?…living in one’s own home in fear that a stronger, faster, armed group of individuals is one of the worse situations that a citizen of this country can endure?…fear of retribution is the reason that the good people of the South Side will not cooperate with the Evansville Police Department in identifying the criminals who are spraying bullets and shaking down residents?…fear is the root of the typical response to an inquiry into a crime with the much too familiar words, “I didn’t see nothing”?…the situation is both the South Side and the Southeast Side is unacceptable if Evansville is ever going to be seen as an attractive place to live?…only when the residents overcome their fears and cooperate with the EPD to rid the streets of habitual criminals will this once great part of Evansville return to tranquility?

IS IT TRUE that according to the last published audited financial statements from the State Board of Accounts indicated that the Evansville Redevelopment Authority owned the City of Evansville approximately $2,000,000 of taxpayer money? …that the ERC is not subject to audit by the State Board of Accounts because it is an independent agency and the five members of the board are appointed by the Mayor and City Council? …that the DMD Director needs concentrate his money finding efforts on the existence of those missing funds so ERC, via DMD, can refund the taxpayers the $2 million dollars of missing city funds?

Classic Ann Landers

0
 

Dear Ann Landers: I am a 34-year-old single physician who never has been married or even come close. The truth is I never found anyone I truly wanted to be with — until last year. Sound good? Well, wait. The woman I have fallen in love with is a very youthful 53-year-old — and she is married.

I do not want to jeopardize her marriage by having an affair, but I do want a friendship with her. We talk on the phone two or three times a week, but she must call me from work to avoid arousing suspicion at home. I cannot call her house and ask her to have lunch with me or go to a movie.

Is there any proper, non-threatening way I could have a close relationship with this woman without upsetting her family? Am I better off just leaving her alone? I’m afraid I never will meet anyone else whose company I enjoy so much. Please give me some guidance. — A Smitten M.D. in N.C.

Dear N.C. Doc: Stop playing with dynamite before you blow up the woman’s marriage and your medical practice, as well. Surely there is a single woman in North Carolina who would be an appropriate companion with romantic possibilities. Let your friends know you are interested, and put yourself out there. If you need an incentive, think about how your life would be enriched with a couple of children. That should do it.

Dear Ann Landers: My husband and I have been married for 12 years and are unable to have children. A year ago, my niece, “Nicole,” became pregnant by her boyfriend, who then left her.

She was 18.

He was 20.When her boyfriend walked out, my husband and I offered to adopt the baby. Nicole said she wanted to put the experience behind her and agreed to the adoption. The papers were signed. We live in another city, so we invited Nicole to move in with us until the baby was born. I accompanied her to the obstetrician during her pregnancy, and my husband and I were with her when she gave birth to her son.

Two days ago, Nicole’s mother (my sister) called to say Nicole wants the baby back. It seems she and the ex-boyfriend have settled their differences and are going to be married. My sister matter-of-factly described the breakup as a “misunderstanding” and said the kids want to raise their son.

Ann, there are no words to describe how we feel. We want to retain custody of our son, but we don’t want to put him through a long and protracted custody battle. Do you have any advice? We are — Living a Nightmare in New York State

Dear N.Y.: Check with a lawyer, and learn what your chances are of winning custody. If it is likely that you will lose the child, give him up willingly and avoid an ugly court fight that could drag on for years and create wounds that may never heal. I wish you luck.

Lonesome? Take charge of your life and turn it around.
