You never know how much value can be placed on the ‘little things’ in nursing. Things like a phone call or a hug. Sometimes I get so caught up in the stress and the environment that I forget to remember the value of the little things. If you have little moments of nursing that made you happy, please share at the end of the article!

Jan 13 - Although, I've been a nurse for a few years now, I experienced my first patient loss in my career recently as a NICU nurse. My outlet for my grief, and source for reflection, became running. Although I wouldn't call myself a writer (or a runner, for that matter), I was bitten by the most peculiar creativity bug during my work out, and wrote this immediately after I finished exercising.

Oct 3, '08 - One of the questions I am most frequently asked is how do I prepare for an interview, and over the years of both being interviewed and interviewing I have built up a stock pile of questions and interview tips.

Jan 2 - The physician shortage in primary care, plus the growth of nurse practitioners and increasing need for access to health care, creates a necessity for more autonomous nurse practitioners. However, current restrictions on nurse practitioners, particularly prescription regulations for controlled substances, limit what practitioners can do for patients. These restrictions also increase wait times for patients and have the potential to increase liability claims as physicians prescribe medications for patients they have not adequately evaluated. Nurse practitioners have proven to be a safe, quality, and cost saving approach to primary care. To meet the growing needs for patients, nurse practitioners must have the ability to prescribe controlled substances in all 50 states.

Jan 6 - And to think 2013 started out on such a high note. I was so glad to see the old year go that I forgot what waited for me at work the next day: a building full of elderly people, thirty-five of whom were sick with the notorious stomach bug. And then......I too went down like a sack of potatoes.

Jan 2 - Society is filled with shady 'professionals' who have no problems engaging in lying, theft, deception, fraud, and cover-ups at the expense of the people whom they're supposed to help. Nurses should take pride in continuing to act upon their active consciences to do right by their patients. Without an active conscience, nothing much is stopping a person from doing really horrible things to humankind.
