I am nurse. To the casual observer, I am an average looking middle-aged woman. However, in the morning I put on my super scrubs, wrap my secret decoder stethoscope around my neck and head for work. I can leap long hospital corridors in a single bound, juggle phone calls, patients, physicians, medications and bedpans with ease.
Sound familiar? I am a real live working nurse. I have spent over twenty years working in critical care. I am well aware of the professional issues nurses face on the job everyday. Long hours, short staffing and mediocre pay are just a few of the problems that impact nursing recruitment and retention.
I have also spent many years as a nursing clinical faculty. I love teaching and writing about nursing. With all the challenges that nurses face we also have tremendous opportunities for growth and change. I´m still an optimist! Join me in talking about the endless possibilities for Nursing!
