Cowboy Coffee
“We wish to suggest a structure
for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA).
This structure has novel features
which are of considerable biological interest….”
James Watson | “Nature” April 1953
“The Valley of Wyoming” 1865 Jasper Cropsey
This simple method preparing hot coffee evolved from open flame; out on the range. The result is a strong, robust cup that retains grittiness due to the coarse grind and the absence of a filter. Cowboy coffee is more about utility and simplicity rather than precision and refinement, which aligns with the rugged and practical nature of cowboy life. Here’s how it’s typically made:
Ingredients:
Coarsely ground coffee beans, water.
Equipment:
A pot (often a simple metal or enamel coffee pot), a heat source (campfire or portable stove), and a way to separate the grounds from the liquid (like pouring or using a fine mesh strainer).
Process:
Add coarsely ground coffee to the pot. The amount can vary based on personal preference, but it’s generally a couple of tablespoons of coffee per cup of water.
Add water to the pot. Again, the ratio of coffee to water can be adjusted based on taste preferences.
Place the pot on the heat source and bring it to a near-boil. Watch it carefully to avoid boiling over.
Once it’s heated, let it steep for a few minutes. Some cowboys might toss in a crushed eggshell to help settle the grounds.
Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a moment to allow the coffee grounds to settle.
Pour the coffee carefully to avoid pouring the grounds into your cup.
Locals swear by it:

“You can’t compromise with a cup of weak coffee.” – Cowboy Proverb
“There are only two things that a cowboy can’t do without – his horse and his coffee.” – Unknown
“A cowboy’s day starts with coffee and ends with whiskey.” – Unknown

Today we review the codes and standards that apply to the instructional and research facilities that support nursing science and practice. There is no single organization with a best practice catalog as there are in other disciplines we follow. Best practice is inspired by the inherited wisdom of practitioners, faculty and students who work alongside other members of healthcare provider teams.

Healthcare Organization Management
Comments due March 28
“Une leçon clinique à la Salpêtrière” 1887 André Brouillet
Many large research universities have significant medical research and healthcare delivery enterprises. The leadership of those enterprises discount the effect of standards like this at their peril. It is easy to visualize that this document will have as transformative effect upon the healthcare industry as the ISO 9000 series of management standards in the globalization of manufacturing.
Standardization in the field of healthcare organization management comprising, terminology, nomenclature, recommendations and requirements for healthcare-specific management practices and metrics (e.g. patient-centered staffing, quality, facility-level infection control, pandemic management, hand hygiene) that comprise the non-clinical operations in healthcare entities.
Excluded are horizontal organizational standards within the scope of:
-
- quality management and quality assurance (TC 176);
- human resource management (TC 260);
- risk management (TC 262);
- facility management (TC 267), and;
- occupational health and safety management (TC 283).
Also excluded are standards relating to clinical equipment and practices, enclosing those within the scope of TC 198 Sterilization of health care products.
This committee is led by the US Technical Advisory Group Administrator —Ingenesis. The committee is very active at the moment, with new titles drafted, reviewed and published on a near-monthly basis,

- The American National Standards Institute — the Global Secretariat for ISO — does not provide content management systems for its US Technical Advisory Groups. Because of the nascent committee, inspired by the work of Lee Webster at the University of Texas Medical Branch needed a content management system, we have been managing content on a Google Site facility on a University of Michigan host since 2014.Earlier this spring, the University of Michigan began upgrading its Google Sites facility which requires us to offload existing content onto the new facility before the end of June. That process is happening now. Because of this it is unwise for us to open the content library for this committee publicly. Respecting copyright, confidentiality of ISO and the US Technical Advisory Group we protect most recent content in the link below and invite anyone to click in any day at 15:00 (16:00) UTC. Our office door is open every day at this hour and has been for the better part of ten years.
Scope of Nursing Practice
CLICK IMAGE
The American Nurses Association has developed several standards related to nursing practice, which are designed to guide the professional practice of nursing and promote quality patient care. Some of the ANA standards include:
- Standards of Practice: These standards describe the responsibilities and accountabilities of registered nurses in the provision of safe, competent, and ethical nursing care.
- Standards of Professional Performance: These standards describe the behaviors and competencies that are expected of registered nurses in their professional roles, such as leadership, education, and communication.
- Code of Ethics for Nurses: This code provides guidance for ethical decision-making and practice in nursing. It includes provisions related to patient rights, confidentiality, professional boundaries, and accountability.
- Nursing Administration: This standard addresses the role of nursing administration in ensuring safe and effective nursing care. It includes standards related to leadership, management, and quality improvement.
- Nursing Informatics: This standard addresses the role of nursing informatics in improving healthcare outcomes. It includes standards related to the use of technology and information systems in nursing practice.
- Advanced Practice Registered Nurses: This standard addresses the role of advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) in providing safe and effective care. It includes standards related to education, certification, and practice.
It’s worth noting that these are just a few examples of the ANA standards, and that there may be other standards that are relevant to specific areas of nursing practice. The ANA periodically updates its standards to reflect changes in nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
