Why I became a nurse

On those stressful days it's so important to remind myself why I chose nursing as my profession. When I was a child, about 9 yrs old, my grandmother became ill with non- hodgkins lymphomia. My grandfather had already passed away from a heart attack 4 months earlier so my mother and father moved my gram into our house to take care of her. I watched my mom and dad care for her. My brother and I helped as much as we could for our ages. It put a lasting impression on how important good care is for someone in need of it. My gram died in our home not long after she got sick.

CEU's

I don't know about anyone else but I still have some CEU's to get before the end of October. I found alot of free sites to go to to obtain them. Some are only worth one CEU but some you can get three or four at a time. If anyone wants me to link them on this page please comment and I'll put them on.

a little bit about me

Hello! My name is Nicole I am a Registered Nurse in the state of Pennsylvania. I have experience in Abdominal Transplant Nursing, Skilled Nursing, Hospice Casemanagment and Medical/ Surgical nursing. I have certifications in Basic Arrhythmia, Midline Insertion and NIH Stroke Scale. I am a caregiver by nature and nursing is my passion. I have two children (and two dogs) so I understand the importance of balancing life with such a demanding career. I have found a lot of resources to assist me with time management, furthering my education/career and balancing my life. I put a link to one of my favorite time management guides. I also recommend Hugs for Nurses it's a good book to have when your burned out!! (Who us burned out--never!)

Coming soon

I will be posting soon. This will be a blog all about the registered nursing world and some of my own experiences in it.
