WELCOME to TNO MEDIA "Where Care Meets Culture"

Mission Statement

The Nursing Office Media Network exists to elevate the voice of nursing as a cultural, scientific, and community force. We create multimedia content that informs, inspires, and empowers individuals and communities by bringing together the art of storytelling and the science of care. Through television, radio, podcasts, documentaries, and digital media, we champion wholeperson health, celebrate human experience, and advance a nursedriven vision where care meets culture.

This mission statement does several important things:

1. It positions us as a cultural and scientific institution

Not just a broadcaster — a force that shapes public understanding and community wellbeing.

2. It honors nursing as both art and science

The network becomes the bridge between evidencebased care and human storytelling.

3. It embraces The Nursing Office.Com’s full-circle philosophy

Wholeperson health is explicitly named: physical, emotional, social, cultural, and beyond.

4. It includes all media formats

TV, radio, podcasts, documentaries, digital platforms — all under one umbrella.

5. It reflects The Nursing Office.Com’s ceremonial, legacy-driven identity

“Where care meets culture” becomes the living heartbeat of the mission.

This is “A Day in the life of a gerontological nurse” …

By Myrna D. Santos, MSN,RN

 

I’m an ICU nurse for over 30 years taking care of our veterans, specializing on geriatrics. While I am delighted with the final phase of life… as I enjoy narratives of their lives, with all the wisdom gained through their ages, I’m saddened as well with the problems that accompany them: depression, homelessness, malnutrition/failure to thrive, financial and physical dependence, verbal abuse and neglect.

 

While their physical space has shrunk smaller in that nursing home, their needs back to the basics: roof over their heads, food in their stomach, and clothing in their back. Surround them with memories of their rich lives: photos of their loved ones, a phone to connect with friends and families, TV for entertainment and stimulation, snacks to promote their nutrition, a clock and calendar to keep them oriented, religious memorabilia to maintain their faith. Take care in your choice of colors in their room: red blankets, a sign of life. Think safety, walkers, and comfortable shoes as they need.

 

As the aging population is growing, I felt that I should make the aging process as pleasant and peaceful experience through gerontology, the art and science of aging. My goal is to provide quality care to the elderly and prepare them to move forward as we plan together on “How to celebrate their 100th birthday".

 

This is Mr. Fred Medina and me on one Sunday afternoon, as I visited him in his nursing home. We took a walk through life...a walk that both of us will definitely remember.
