Let’s Be Thankful

It only takes two words to say Thank You, it takes only one word to say “Please.” Lately I have seen articles about registered nurses voting to authorize their leaders to call a strike unless contract negotiations move forward. They have been in negotiations for more than one year. Representatives for the nurses say they are pursuing better working conditions and wage increases to align their salaries with those of nurses at other hospitals. All this in hopes that the unions can reinvigorate contract negotiations with hospital management.

Halloween is an exciting time. It’s all about being scared of ghosts, goblins, and a host of scary creatures. As children we learned how to deal with these fears and free ourselves of the fear.

Too Much To Learn?

Being that it is September and the start of a new school year, thoughts of education come to mind. This is even more evident as more hospitals seek the coveted Magnet recognition. A recent but quiet trend has been slowly making its way into the nursing world; hospitals are requiring their nurses to either return to school for their bachelor’s degrees or have a BSN before applying. I know everyone’s sick of this contentious topic, but the growing demands and responsibilities of nursing will require advanced degrees for nurses.

With all the political bantering that has been going on lately, it causes you to wonder if we have reached a point in our country’s history where authority and power seem to be manifested by the need to shout down the other person. “Discussion” and “compromise” are words freely bandied about, but they’ve largely lost their meaning.

What is really lost is perspective…

Feel Empowered to Make Decisions

It is time to celebrate the sunny season. As we start with the kick off of Memorial Day, we think about the strong leaders making decisions of ordering armies into the field. They were confident their decisions were for the best. Few of us will have to make a decision that monumental, but we will have to make plenty of smaller decisions.

June is full of decision making. Which summerfest will you be attending? Where will you go on your summer vacation? There are the graduates who will be deciding their future. Then there is Father’s Day, and anyone who has the responsibilities of being a father understands that decision making can be precarious. Choose well and you are a hero. Or you could lose as a result of making the wrong choice. Is it any wonder why people struggle in making decisions?
