Nursing Stories

Nursing Stories:"Never underestimate the power of what you know and how you choose to share it with others…what you know and learn could save someone’s life." When he was younger, Reg McCurdy never thought he would become a nurse. But a series of jobs led him from being a hospital transporter to working as a travel nurse with a specialty in cardiac care."

More Apartment, Condo Complexes Banning Smoking at Home - AOL Health:"No Smoking signs are popping up at some apartment complexes and condos, barring people from lighting up even in their own homes. And in places where smoking is permitted, tenants and owners are beginning to seek protection from the secondhand smoke they say is seeping into their apartments."

Jobs Most Likely to Wreck Your Marriage - Careers Articles

Can you guess where Nursing falls on the list?

Jobs Most Likely to Wreck Your Marriage - Careers Articles:"If your spouse helps people or touches them for a living, be careful -- you might be headed for a divorce. Helping professions and hospitality workers have some of the highest divorce rates in the country, according to a comparison of divorce rates among occupations. The conventional wisdom is that police officers have high divorce rates. But a year-old analysis of the top 15 jobs with the highest divorce rate that recently made the rounds of the Internet doesn't even list police officers among the worst offenders. Based on data from the 2000 U.S. Census, it found that law enforcement workers had a lower divorce rate than the general population."

Nurses: On Our Own, by Karon White Gibson, Joysmith Catterson, Patricia Skalka, Joy S. Catterson:"Registered Nurses Karon White Gibson and Joy Smith Catterson started one of the nation's first Independent Nurse Practitioner offices in Chicago. The young, idealistic nurses expected to heal bumps and bruises, and ended up dealing with all that ails the human body and soul. The daring move was more controversial than they expected and impacted their lives in many ways.

With the growth in the number of NPs throughout the state, Virginia NPs initially organized to become a Professional Practice Group of the VNA. In 1984, the VCNP became a council of the VNA, and as such has continued to grow in membership and in the services provided to its members. Membership now is over 1,300. Although there are other specialty NP groups, the VCNP offers an advantage for all NPs in Virginia because of its association with the VNA and the American Nurses Association (ANA) with their broad based membership and the resources available through these relationships.

Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur, By Carolyn Zaumeyer:"Carolyn Zaumeyer, MSN, ARNP is a graduate of Florida International University and President and Owner of Women's Health Watch, Inc. Over seven years ago Carolyn ventured into independent nursing practice. When planning her new practice, she did a literature review and was unable to locate any resource material to guide the nurse practitioner in developing her practice. While she was putting together her new venture, she was also keeping detailed notes, hoping that eventually she would be able to help other nurse practitioners interested in independent practice. In 1995 she published the book, "The Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur: How to Establish and Operate an Independent Practice - a reference and resource manual." This book has enjoyed national sales over the years, and many universities and colleges have utilized it as a text. It is now available for sale at our Website, "The Nurse Practitioner as Entrepreneur". It continues to guide and instruct nurse practitioners on how to establish, organize, and operate an independent nursing practice. Email Carolyn."

Charter pilot learns networking herself crucial to making her company take off:"Rosevelt, a 55-year-old semi-retired nurse practitioner, still works part time, taking throat cultures and peering into ears for Kaiser Permanente when she isn't flying. The regular paycheck has made her entrepreneurial foray possible, she said, adding that she doesn't anticipate earning enough income from her service to quit her other job for several more years. Her long-term goal is to have her charter service support her."

Defining Nurse Practitioner Scope Of Practice:"Nurse Practitioners have demonstrated the ability to provide care to many underserved groups, such as children, women, migrant workers, the homeless, and the elderly in nontraditional settings, such as schools, work sites, and health departments. Although multiple studies have documented the high quality of care and cost-effectiveness of APNs, these nurses remain an under-utilized resource. 2 Schools of Nursing are investing significant resources for preparation of NPs and NPs are graduating in record numbers. Globally, there are increasing opportunities for nurses with advanced practice skills. It becomes imperative to resolve the scope of practice issues for NPs to gain the needed public support to expand their role to meet much needed primary care services. 3 Yet restrictive practice environments continue to limit their efficient use both nationally and internationally."
