Nursing is Recession Proof

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Just in case you missed it…..

Forbes recently released their latest employment findings.  While the rest of the world may be looking for work, the health care industry continues to grow at a rather astounding rate, adding more new jobs during the latest recession than any other sector.  And leading the pack?  Again and Still?  The most in-demand career choice is Registered Nursing.

Congratulations to those of you already licensed in the field……and yet another boost to all of you who may be considering nursing as your career of choice.

The future for nurses is bright;  and getting brighter every day.

Just thought you’d want to know.

Till next time,

Gayle

Nurses to Haiti

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Just in case you haven’t yet realized that we are indeed all in this together,  take a look at the last few days.  Last week Haiti was for most of us just another poor country somewhere in the Caribbean.  It does seem to suffer with each new hurricane that passes through the area;  but,  somehow it managed to rebound from each.

Now, however it is the focus of a massive relief effort involving the entire world.

And,  as nurses,  we have the unique opportunity to make a serious contribution to the situation.

Do a Google for “nurse to Haiti”.  You’ll find numerous openings for: (1) your nursing skills and/or (2) whatever financial aid you may provide.

Get involved.  Please.  At whatever level you find best.

I won’t be travelling personally (rejected for health reasons);  but we have made our contribution here on line.

America has always been known for it’s open hearted generosity.  As nurses, we have always responded “over and above” when called.

Your chance to really matter has never mattered more than it does in Haiti, today and throughout this recovery.

Thanks,

Gayle
