Nurses on the Move: Part 2

Welcome back to Nurses On the Move, where we shine a light-weight on impressive nurses who go above and beyond the career and who function role models for those around them.

Last week you met Anne Dabrow Woods MSN, RN, CRNP, ANP-BC, Chief Nursing Officer at Wolters Kluwer Health/Medical Research and Editor, and Karen Innocent DNP, RN, CRNP, ANP-BC, CMSRN , Executive Director of Continuing Education at Wolters Kluwer Health and Chief Nurse Planner for the Lippincott Continuing Nursing Education Unit.

This week, learn what these nurses on the road think is going on for the long run of nursing and their best advice for brand spanking new nurses.

Nursing will likely be the answer to health problems all over the world. People need education about conditions, diseases, prevention, well-being and optimizing their lives when living with chronic diseases – that is all nursing. As we transition to a wellness/holistic model of care, nursing will change into a number one career, working hand-in-hand with patients and other healthcare professionals to optimize the standard and cost-effectiveness of care.

As the health care delivery model continues to emphasise health promotion slightly than disease, nurses in primary care, ambulatory care, rehabilitation and residential care settings could have more profession options.

You cannot not know all the pieces, you simply should know where to search out the reply. Self-confidence is not about knowing all the pieces; it’s about having the wisdom to know when and where to search out the answers.

Find an area you want. Take a while in your profession to vary your surroundings and find something more comfortable. New nurses need to regulate to the workload and stress levels… but they should know that things recuperate with experience. Things won’t be that difficult.

As nurses, we don’t speak with one voice and don’t realize the importance of lifelong learning and education for the event of the career and improvement of patient care.

Most nurses work in hospitals and have competing priorities. The problem is feeling busy and overwhelmed. We need time management and prioritization skills.

I would really like to see nurses who change institutions, patients’ lives and communities, who’re unafraid to step outside their comfort zone and truly push the bar for healthcare excellence.

My hope is that the Nurses On the Move blog will motivate nurses to pursue certifications and/or advanced degrees, provide encouragement and support to aspiring nurses, and highlight the achievements of nurses who do great things every single day.
