Nursing jobs can be stressful yet can be so rewarding. It is important to keep a good rapport with people in your workplace, since this is where you spend most of your time everyday. So…

Here Are Some Tips On  How To Impress Your Managers and Dazzle Your Colleagues:

  • Always be proactive. Request for possibilities to learn about new competencies as well as obtain experience. Showing that you are keen to cultivate your professional skills will not simply help make you a better nurse, but it would certainly make you a highly valued member of the team.
  • Constantly present a positive attitude. Doing work within an intense care setting can often be tough and stressful. An optimistic demeanor can help to make tough situations a lot more manageable. And also, you would become a lot more productive.
  • Always be versatile and anticipate the worst while hoping for the best. We cannot always foresee things so always be ready and prepared to help out. For example, if you are versatile with organizing and handling asignments, you will gain in the long run when you will be searching for a long term nursing position.
  • Stick to your commitments. Make sure to convey your schedule availability and adhere to it.
  • Never hesitate to ask questions - specially if you do not know what to do in crucial situations - that is the best way to learn and it will definitely prevent you from into trouble.

Follow those tips and you are on your way to a happy, productive and less stressful nursing life.

More Men In Nursing Scrubs… Or are there more?

August 24th, 2010
Bookmark and Share

Many people are used to stereotyping the nursing profession to women. Though it has been clearly being changed and defied by many men who also believe that the nursing profession is a very rewarding career aside from good pay and stable working opportunity, it is also a very fulfilling job of being able to care for the sick and the needy patients.

But has this way of thinking really been eliminated to the general society?

Many think that men are incapable of performing the same as the women nurses. Some consider certain female characteristics suit well for the nursing profession.  But is there really that so-called female characteristic/s that distinguishes female nurses from male nurses? Are there female characteristics that make them more superior than male?

Others on the other hand, say that male nurses can be better in this profession since men are stronger than women physically. They are more capable in handling patients, especially in emergency situations and when there is carrying involve. But is this really true to all cases? Can’t women also do the same? Can’t women be strong enough physically to take heavy tasks like these?

Or  do you think that both have equal potential and capability? Can both do what the other can do? Do you think nowadays men and women have equal rights and qualification in getting a nursing career?

What is your stand in all of these? Which side will you take?

Can you give examples to prove your point and opinion?

Please feel free to leave your comment on this issue… Nurses Want to know…

“My Best Nursing Job Ever”

August 23rd, 2010
Bookmark and Share

written by Chico David RN from allnurses.com

I’ve stayed broadly in one branch of nursing – cardiac rehabilitation – for almost my whole career. But I’ve managed to find variety by taking on different roles during that time. I’ve worked inpatient and outpatient, I’ve managed the department for a while. Now I’m working per diem and am sort of the all around pinch hitter for the department and related areas.

But the very best period of my working life was when part of my job description was “cardiac liaison nurse”. The bulk of my time in that job was spent in providing the pre- and post-op education for cardiac surgery patients. But the plum was that I would go into the OR a few times during each case and come out to give the family a quick update on how things were going.

Prices Stock Offering From Sun Healthcare - A Nursing Home Operator

August 14th, 2010
Bookmark and Share

Last Friday, Irvine-based Sun Health care Group Inc. stated that it listed a new public stock options which might net at about $195 million to $225 million.

The nursing homes, assisted living facilities and rehabilitation center operator stated that it listed 26.7 million shares at $7.75 per unit. Underwriters have got a 30-day option in order to acquire as much as four million more stock shares.

Sun’s stock shares last Friday, having a current market value of about $500 million, were trading for about $8  . Profits coming from this offering could be utilized in order to pay off Sun’s debt because of a move heading up to its projected break up towards two publicly traded companies.

The break up will be made in order to establish two companies: an operator of health care real estate — Sabra Health Care REIT Inc.; as well as a nursing home company, which is going to keep the Sun name.

The break up is supposed to be accomplished on the 4th quarter. The splitting of the company in to two is a move to establish value for its real estate on Wall Street .

Wednesday is the expected deadline for the stock offering to close, stated by Sun Health care Group Inc. It initially had stated that it  intended to offer about 20 million stock shares and generate about $160 million through its offering.
