The Richest Woman In Babylon And #Manhattan by Annette Tersigni #RN @theyoganurse #nurseup #yoga #nursefriendly

The Richest Woman In Babylon And #Manhattan by Annette Tersigni #RN @theyoganurse #nurseup #yoga #nursefriendly:"In this clever adaptation of the 1920s George Clason classic, The Richest Man in Babylon, we find seven timeless truths about getting money, keeping money + making it work for YOU — with the leading roles recast, as a trio of stylish + savvy young woman.
And as in ancient Babylon — where money was first used, treasured and squandered — so in modern-day Manhattan. Fact is: the laws of attraction, affluence + prosperity haven’t changed a bit."

#Texas State Nurses, Could This Happen To You? #amandatrujillo #nurseup #nursefriendly

Texas State Nurses, Could This Happen To You? #amandatrujillo #nurseup #nursefriendly:"The story of Amanda Trujillo is a horrifying one. Briefly, she is a single mom who fought to get off welfare and fulfilled her dream of becoming a nurse. Not only did she become a nurse, she earned a masters degree in nursing. One night while working a Banner Health in Arizona, she took care of a patient who was being asked to undergo a liver transplant. In talking to the patient, Amanda learned that the patient did not fully understand what was going to occur. Amanda educated the patient. She explained the option of hospice instead. The patient decided against the transplant. Then the physician came in, had a well-witnessed tantrum at the hospital when he found out his patient had decided against surgery, and Amanda was fired by the hospital. Her case came up for review by the Arizona Board of Nursing. The summary of her case written by the attorney representing her is below. Amanda has been devastated in terms of her career and her finances. She is back on welfare, her dream of being a nurse shattered."
