New Nurse Born Product Entrepreneur Shares her Story:"Nurse BornProducts,(nurseborn.com) specializes in products designed by nurses.

Nurse Born went live this past September 2013 and we are adding new products all the time.

Nursing Success Tip: The secret to effective communication, Renee Thompson, DNP, RN, CMSRN @RTConnections, #Nurseup

Nursing Success Tip: The secret to effective communication:" A core foundation of every successful person is the ability to communicate effectively. Good communication skills are often cited as the most important skills organizations look for in their employees.  However, many people struggle to communicate effectively with each other in their work environment.
The good news is that communication is a skill that can be learned. The bad news is that most people don’t.
Successful nurses understand this and spend time improving their ability to communicate effectively."

New Nurse Success Tip, Standing at the Crossroads of your Career, Renee Thompson, DNP, RN, CMSRN, @RTConnections, #Nurseup

New Nurse Success Tip: Standing at the Crossroads of your Career:"When nurses graduate from nursing school, unbeknownst to them, they are standing at a crosswalk. Some nurses will go left and some will go right. This decision will determine how successful, happy and satisfied they are with their decision to become a nurse. This decision will determine if they will become successful and thrive or unsuccessful and burn out."

Elizabeth Scala, MSN/MBA, RN, @Coachscala: What Attracted You To The Field of Nursing?, #Nurseup, #Nursefriendly

Elizabeth Scala, MSN/MBA, RN, @Coachscala: What Attracted You To The Field of Nursing?:"How I actually got into nursing is a funny story that my mom likes to remind me of all of the time. My senior year of college I was moving into an apartment with two nursing majors. One of them even had a nurse professor at our school for a mother! So needless to say as we were unpacking our stuff and I was standing there telling them I "didn't know what I wanted to do when I grew up" they all put their heads together, the four of them (my two roommates to be, my mother, and her mother the nursing professor) and decided I apply to the accelerated nursing program at my college. So for me, it wasn't so much a "choice" but I am grateful I listened to their guidance every day of my life!

Elizabeth Scala, MSN/MBA, RN, Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Reiki Master, Living Sublime Wellness:"Elizabeth "Nurse Coach" Scala, MSN/MBA, RN is passionate about helping healthcare professionals, nurses in particular, to embody holistic living and embrace self-care. Through her business, Living Sublime Wellness, she writes regularly on the topic of self-care, conducts a free, monthly wellness workshop, and offers both in person and online seminars for busy nurses.

Elizabeth offers group coaching programs, one-on-one coaching, and is the founder of a virtual self-care conference for nurses called the RejuveNation Collaboration. She has written two books for nurses on healthy lifestyle and hosts her own blog talk radio show, the Living Sublime Wellness Show on the Rejuvenation Station.

Being a Reiki Master and daily practitioner of self-Reiki treatment, Elizabeth is available to speak, write, and teach nurses about the balancing and healing effects of Reiki therapy."

Nurses with Disabilities, Patricia Bemis, RN, @PatBemis, #NNBA2014, #Nurseup, #Disabilities, #Disability

Nurses with Disabilities:"Based on the fact that nurses are part of the general population, one could assume that one in every 8.4 nurses might have an employment disability. If that is true, 291,548 nurses are affected.
When I was asked to write an article about nurses with disabilities, I sent an email to my email list and told them I was doing research for an article on nurses with disabilities and I wanted to include some real-life experiences. This is a reprint of that article."

Your Changing Role, Patty Hedrick, RN, @PKHedrick, North Star #ElderCare, #Nurseup #Caregivers

Your Changing Role, Patty Hedrick, RN, @PKHedrick, North Star Elder Care:"Many family members comment that caring for an aging parent feels like a "role reversal." They have become the parent and their parent is the child. There certainly may be similarities in terms of your parent's dependence upon you.

You are likely to run into problems, however, if you try to assume a parental role. Even persons with severe memory loss remember years of independence. They do not respond well to being shut out of decisions or told what to do. Like any adult, they want to be respected."

Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy, Michelle Podlesni, RN, @Mpodlesni, #nurseup #parenting #children

Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy, Michelle Podlesni, RN, @Mpodlesni:"Can a child ever have enough stuffed animals? Everyone, including us bought our daughter endearing stuffed toys that were soft and cuddly. Of course there were those that the baby has to have next to them so they can fall asleep. I remember one time while working in the hospital that a family drove over an hour to visit their father that happened to be one of my patients. I received the panicked phone call around 10:00PM, “Could you please check my father’s bed because our daughter left Ellie with Papa, Ellie is our daughter’s stuffed elephant?” Turns out when they left Papa’s room to get a snack, their daughter had put Ellie under the covers so Papa wouldn’t get lonely until they returned, but then she had forgotten about it."

Yes, nursing is getting better!

Blend Images Photography | Veer

Pssst! Have you heard the good news about nursing in the United States? There are many good aspects of our work that make us want to keep doing what we’re doing, but there is also evidence that the profession as a whole is “feeling pretty good” these days.

In September 2004, the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses (NSSRN) published a study about the state of nursing in the U.S. and the nursing job market. This study was repeated in 2008, with results released in September 2010. Here are five important findings every nurse should know about.



1. More RNs are graduating and getting licensed.

Although there are some parts of the U.S. that have too many nurses, there are many other areas that have a shortage. The fear has been that as nurses get older and think about retiring or going to part-time work, this shortage will get worse. This fear has been intensified in the past few years by reports of a shortage of nursing instructors, the very people we need to educate the new nurses.

Well, there’s good news. According to the NSSRN study, there was an almost 8 percent growth in the number of licensed RNs in the U.S. between 2000 and 2004. This resulted in a new high of 2.9 million nurses. In 2008, the numbers were even better. The workforce grew another 5 percent, reaching another high of 3.1 million.

2. The median age of nurses is stabilizing.
Following the “new nurse” trend, the median age of working nurses isn’t rising as quickly as people feared. While there was a significant increase in median age between the first time this type of study was done in 1980 and in 2004, there was no change between 2004 and 2008.

In 1980, 52.9 percent of nurses were younger than 40. This number dropped to only 26.3 percent in 2004. The median age was 46—the same number found in the 2008 study.

3. More nurses are finding employment.
Again, there are some parts of the U.S. where nurses are having a rough time finding work. This could be due to many reasons—state and industry finances, population of the location or an overall glut of nursing graduates. The overall picture of nursing employment, however, is still positive. The survey found that in 2004, the rate of employment among actively licensed nurses was the highest since 1980, at a rate of 83 percent employment. By 2008, this rate had risen to 85 percent.

4. More nurses are earning more money.
Salaries are also rising across the country. While there are definite differences in pay scales according to geographical region, the trend is upward in salary and benefits. In 2004, the average RN was earning $57,785 annually for full-time work. This represented a growth of almost 14 percent since 2000. This was the first increase of that size in more than 10 years.
In 2008, the average RN salary rose to $66,973, an increase of almost 16 percent since 2004.

5. RNs are advancing their education.
Going back to school and getting an advanced degree in nursing isn’t always about moving up the management chain. Getting a master’s degree in nursing (MSN) is the way to become a nurse practitioner, for example. And by 2015, if all things go as planned, new nurses who want to go on to be advanced practice nurses or nurse practitioners will be required to get a doctorate in nursing to be allowed to practice.

An increase in education is quite noticeable over the past few surveys. Between 2000 and 2004, there was a 37 percent increase in RNs who went on to complete an MSN or a PhD in nursing. These numbers increased again between 2004 and 2008 by almost 47 percent. We went from having 376,901 MSN or PhD educated nurses in 2004 to 404,163 in 2008. This is a big difference from the first study in 1980, where there were only 85,860 RNs with these advanced degrees.
