1. The entrepreneur nurse author

   bbfw2 replied to patrick1rn's topic in Entrepreneurs

   Sounds like you are doing everything right. Now you need patience In the meantime, whenever anyone asks you what you do for a living, tell them you are a writer (and a nurse). Time to walk the talk and vise versa. The more you do this the more it...

2. Retired, now what?

   bbfw2 replied to sueff's topic in Retired

   To start with let me say I am sorry you have found yourself in this position. It is hard to give up nursing when you plan it, harder when forced upon you. And it is not surprising that most employers don't seem to really care; they are looking afte...

3. Select Medical Connections? Travel nurse in BC?

   bbfw2 replied to jpoparty's topic in International

   I have used Select Medical Connections in the past for permanent placement jobs in the USA. I found them very honest and helpful, and I WOULD use them again. I have recommended them to others as well Wendy Getchell

4. Is there power in the color white?

   bbfw2 replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

   I certainly never thought "power over our patients". I'm speaking of the broader sense of the word. Nurses have the ablitiy, the power, to affect change in the health care (how it's done) and the health care system on a world wide scale. Not gods, ...

5. Is there power in the color white?

   bbfw2 replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

   Wow! You've submitted some strong and wonderful replies. I get the feeling that basically we need to take ourselves, and each other, seriously as professionals. Respect each other and others will respect us in turn. Too true. There in lies some ...

6. Nurses don't have a hard job

   bbfw2 replied to classactkellie's topic in General Nursing

   I think it is up to us to educate people more. Not necessarily "on the spot" so to speak. Nurses should write more; books, articles in local papers, magazine articles, etc. If you're worried about not getting published, then self publish. Now aday...

7. Is there power in the color white?

   bbfw2 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all. I'm looking for some opinions on whether you believe that returning to wearing all white uniforms might give us back some power. Now let me explain power. I've been an RN for 21 years and we (the profession) seem to have gone from "thank yo...

8. 'Unhealthy' nurses...bad examples?

   bbfw2 replied to fifi2323's topic in General Nursing

   Wow, this discussion has certainly gone on and on. Here is a point to ponder; do you not suppose the life style (on duty I'm talking) of nurses contributes very much to each and every nurses' state of health? Something more of us should take forwar...

9. I dont want to do this anymore!!!

   bbfw2 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

   A lot of people are in this same frame of mind. Nursing is not an easy profession, not by any means. However, there are alternatives available so you do not have to waste any years of training or experience. Nurses can be (are) writers and entrepre...

10. Nursing job that doesn't have to deal with docs?

    bbfw2 replied to Luvbuble's topic in General Nursing

    Have you thought about self employment. It is not so far fetched as you might think. Even the current president of the CNA has her own business; Tamlyn and Associated Consulting. The folks who run this web site might very well be nurses (or were). ...

11. Can I hear some positive things about nursing school?

    bbfw2 replied to rntoben2008's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on picking one of the most powerful professions on earth today. I have been an RN for 21 years, and though I have seen nursing hit some hard times I continue to encourage nurses to stand up, speak out and let our voices be heard. Wit...
