Hearing about Medicare cuts causes a provider’s blood to run cold. Let’s look deeper – are they really cuts? Will you really lose money by seeing Medicare patients?

As we reflect on reasons to be grateful, I’m so pleased to have had the opportunity to study the work of Florence Nightingale (1810-1920). What can we moderns learn from her? SO many things, First, she was a trailblazer. In the 1800s, a woman who stepped out of her comfort zone and went into the male-dominated world of influence was asking for trouble.

If you have been following me for a while now, you know that I think sabbaticals are amazing. Even though I just completed a 9 month sabbatical, I know there are a few more going to happen before I retire. Sabbaticals, a time to recharge, reset, and reinvigorate yourself can seem like a dream to most. As some of my friends have told me, sabbaticals are unrealistic in life.

Happy Nurse Practitioner Week to all of my fellow nurse practitioners. November is always an interesting month for me to reflect on my career as a Nurse Practitioner. I became certified as a pediatric nurse practitioner in November of 2008. A fun fact is that I have practiced as a nurse practitioner longer than I have practiced as a nurse. Although I am not actively practicing as a Nurse Practitioner and took a sabbatical due to burnout, I do not take my career path for granted.

She cried, “I want to kill myself.”. Alexis Cariaga, RN. She was crying so hard that I could barely understand her. I started asking her questions so I could figure out how to help.

If you’re a nurse, when was the last time you said, “Oh, I’m just a nurse” or “I’m not really an expert–I’m just a nurse”?
