32% of nurses are dissatisfied with their jobs and will be taking steps in the next few years to change their work. @MPodlesni #nurseup

"According to a survey by the largest U.S. healthcare staffing company, 32% of nurses are dissatisfied with their jobs and will be taking steps in the next few years to change their work. The majority of nurses I speak with and coach tell me they are overworked, unappreciated, devalued, exhausted and burned out."

Beth Boynton, RN, MS, @BethBoynton: What Attracted You To The Field of Nursing?

Beth Boynton, RN, MS, +Beth Boynton: What Attracted You To The Field of Nursing?

"Well in all honesty, I was in my late 20s when I went to nursing school. I had been interested in a variety of medical professions and already had a BS in Biochemistry. A friend of mine's mother, an RN talked with me at length about what she loved about nursing, the practical lure of lots of job opportunities, and my own interest combined led me to applying to an ADN program. I was kind of drifting with teaching high school science and working on hazardous waste field projects and looking for lab jobs that I didn't really want. I got in and from the very first class realized that the nursing profession was way more challenging and exciting than I realized. It is funny that I minored in "Theatre and Communication" with my biochem degree and now have come to this exciting work in Medical Improv. It's all related in sometimes mysterious ways! Thanks for asking."

For Nurses, "Just" Is A Four-Letter Word, Keith Carlson, RN, Digital Doorway, @NurseKeith #Nurseup

For Nurses, "Just" Is A Four-Letter Word, Keith Carlson, RN, Digital Doorway:"If you're a nurse, when was the last time you said, "Oh, I'm just a nurse" or "I'm not really an expert--I'm just a nurse"? If you stop to think about it, what are you really saying when you deny your expertise? Words are powerful, and the words we use to describe ourselves can have far-reaching effects--for others, and within our own psyches.
For a number of years, I've used the soapbox of this blog to cajole nurses to embrace their nurse identity while also embracing their individual and collective value as skilled clinicians."

How much to charge? Fair market value of nurse consulting services. Patricia Bemis, @PatBemis #NNBA2013 #nurseup

How much to charge? Fair market value of nurse consulting services. Patricia Bemis, @PatBemis #NNBA2013:"I am often asked by consultants, “How much should I charge?” and from healthcare facilities and attorneys, “What is the fair market hourly value for nurse consulting services?”
The objective of this blog is to offer a fee formula to answer those questions and at the same time, shed some light on the business side of those questions. The consultant’s services considered in this fee formula are evaluating, analyzing, and rendering a knowledgeable opinion on the delivery of healthcare and the related outcomes to healthcare facilities and client attorneys.
