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.

If it happened to me then it can happen to you!

Dec 3, '12 - So often what we do pushes us to our edge where we struggle to not only live the moment we are in, but to redefine ourselves and our goals. Written in an exhausted, frazzled moment after an insane day and a night of trauma call. Posted because I know there are more orientees like mine and more preceptors like me.

Jan 4 - As nurses, we all try to provide the best care we can to our patients. Despite that, sometimes nothing we do can change a difficult situation or give the patient the outcome they desperately want. It can be easy to feel powerless in the face of those times. A nurse gets an all-too-personal chance to explore how a difficult diagnosis looks from a patient standpoint and the real impact of compassion, empathy, and a listening ear in practice.

Jan 1 - This article is about what initially drew me to a career in healthcare. It briefly describes how I entered into the healthcare system with little direction as to where I wanted to go and how I discovered that nursing was the path for me. I describe the steps I took to become a nurse and how I advanced through the ranks. Most of all it states why I want to continue to advance my nursing career. It gives personal insight into why I want to become a Nurse Practitioner and what I hope to accomplish as a FNP.
