Family! We all know nurses and caregivers work in all facets of healthcare.

Years ago, I wrote a paper regarding my theory of nursing, and I stated nurses care for people from the cradle to the grave. This theory highlights the reality that we can express our unique contributions to the profession in a variety of ways.

I consider it an honor to have been asked to use my teaching expertise to audit and critique a teacher’s birthing class. While I am not an OB nurse, I know what good teaching looks like and feels like. To me this (teaching) is what I call fun.
This sense of fulfillment derives from the fact that I have figured out my calling in nursing.
I admonish everyone to find your niche, sharpen your skills, and embrace your passion because nursing extends far beyond the day-to-day grind that you might currently despise.
What is your calling?

Greetings Family! as we approach the holiday season I believe it is important to give gifts that spark intellectual conversations in addition to the ones that are simply fun.
Purchase a serious conversation starter regarding a career in nursing. Meet me on December 2, 2023 from 12:00 noon- 5:00pm at the Detroit Book City Book Fair.
I will be selling my Books Zoe's Secret and Can Men Be Nurses Too?

Family sometimes small steps lead to larger steps. Do you know anyone who is interested in becoming a Certified Nurse Assistant? If you responded yes! The Nursing Detroit Training Center is exactly what you need.

Tell your family, friends, neighbors, church members, and coworkers there is a place where our participants will be trained to become a certified nurse assistant in just three weeks.

After completion of the program, I am persuaded the current healthcare worker shortage will aid in causing them to become gainfully employed. Think about it. It only takes three weeks.

Shout out to the young lady who attended coaching sessions with me. She will be starting nursing school next month. I am sure she will succeed because she is taking the time to learn how to prepare for success. Note: to the wise according to research 50% of nursing students either do not graduate on time or never complete their program.

Mission Accomplished. We conducted our last of four DPS Tracheostomy workshops.

Today I learned what this powerful word means Equanimity.

As healthcare providers we demonstrate equanimity because typically, we are the ones left with the family and patient after they have received devastating and life changing news.

Celebrating with an amazing new nurse at her graduation party. Kandise was my transitions student and from the moment I met her, I knew she had the stuff great nurses are made of. Every encounter with her was an opportunity for me to teach her things that old-school nurses taught me and things I've learned over the past three decades. She was always willing to learn concepts and hear my perspectives related to holistic care. The profession has gained a jewel. I am proud of her.

The nursing workforce cannot thrive without you. Spend some time practicing a bit of self-care.
