Tribute to Rebecca Anderson by E.V. Stankowski RN:"Rebecca was an LPN that responded to the Oklahoma City Bombing and courageously gave of herself to help the injured. While she was inside the Federal building caring for the sick, she was struck by a piece of concrete debris from a falling wall. The incident ultimately led to her death (five days later)."

Nurses Views of The Nursing Profession, http://www.nursefriendly.com/views

To Be A Nurse Takes A Special Kind Of Person By Vicky Oliver, LPN:"As an LPN for the last ten years I believe I could give some insight on my experience as a nurse. I am the type of person who is always doing something for others instead of me. My experiences in nursing consist of Medical Surgical, Doctors' Office, Emergency Room, Surgery, GI Lab, Urology, Utilization Review, Recovery Room, and the Nursing Home.

    Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes! When starting a new nurse registry business, you are entering into a legal business environment that requires you to take steps to protect your personal assets, such as your home, your savings, and your retirement. With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry. Some of the common choices are a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability partnership (LLP), a limited liability company (LLC), and a corporation."

Nursing. It’s Not Just a Career – It’s a Calling

Nursing. It’s not just a career – it’s a calling.

My hospital used that as an advertising campaign a few years back. Effective, yes, but is it true?

We think of nursing as a job, our work, a profession (which it is). It’s what we do – a choice we’ve made. Nurses can live comfortably on our incomes and even in hard times, there are usually jobs to be had.

And the variety! E.R. and flight nursing for adrenaline junkies, floor nursing for those gifted in multi-tasking, Intensive Care for techies, hospice, school nursing, home and public health – the list goes on and on.

I went around the unit last week asking random colleagues why they’d become nurses. Had they pro-and-conned their way into the field, decided they needed something to “fall back on” (as my mother used to say), or heard a voice from Heaven?

Gearing Up for Management by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA, Cardillo & Associates

Gearing Up for Management
by Donna Cardillo, RN, MA

Are you a staff nurse who aspires to someday move into a supervisory role? Would you like to eventually work in nursing or health care administration? Are you considering a leadership role in a professional association or community group? Here are some steps to get you moving in the right direction.

Have a heart-to-heart talk with your supervisor. Let your supervisor know about your aspirations, and ask for assignments that would help prepare you for that role. Ask your supervisor how he or she got started and what was learned along the way. You can have this discussion during an annual evaluation — or, better yet, make a special appointment to sit down and discuss your career goals.

Work on your formal education. A bachelor’s degree is a minimum requirement for most management positions. Having a master’s degree will give you a competitive edge. It’s not just the credential that’s helpful here; it’s the knowledge and skill you’ll acquire pursuing that degree. Nurse managers hold a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees these days, including those in nursing, business, health care management, and public health. There’s no one “right” degree to have.

It's Academic: Studies Spur Push To BSN-in-10 | National Nursing News

What do Canada, Sweden, Portugal, Brazil, Iceland, Korea, Greece and the Philippines have in common? They are just some of the countries that require a four-year undergraduate degree to practice as an RN — a move some believe is necessary to create a more-informed, higher-skilled nursing work force. Similar initiatives have been awaiting approval in the New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island legislatures for the past two years. Although they have yet to pass, states across the country are taking notice. With reports of as many as 18 states preparing some type of initiative requiring newly graduated RNs to obtain a BSN in order to maintain their licensure, the idea is gaining momentum.

As associate director, state government affairs for the Silver Spring, Md.-based American Nurses Association, Janet Haebler, RN, MSN, is no stranger to the debate over minimum licensure requirements. In 1964, ANA’s House of Delegates designed a position statement calling for all nurses to advance their education in order to improve competencies. However, Haebler says, the ANA does not endorse state legislation. “We endorse the concept,” she says.

Tribute to a Hospice Nurse by E.V. Stankowski, RN, Inspirational Poems, Touching Stories:"When it comes to death and dying

Hospice, Palliative Care Nurses, Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow/STTI:"The hospice movement has evolved in the United States over the past 25 years. The focus of hospice care is on comprehensive physical, psychosocial, emotional, and spiritual care to terminally ill persons and their families. Hospice providers promote quality of life by protecting patients from burdensome interventions and providing care at home, whenever possibly, instead of the hospital. Hospice nurses provide care primarily under the guidelines of the Medicare Benefit Act of 1983, a federal program that allows patients to die in their homes with their families and friends at their side."
