As the nursing profession continues to promote quality and safety as well as efficiency and cost effectiveness, new options among the entry-level master’s degrees arise in today’s health care. One of that is the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) role. To decrease cost without compromising quality is the whole point of adapting the CNL role. This innovative role will allow the delivery of quality care at the bedside in a complex and sometimes dysfunctional health care system. Nurses who have the nursing leadership knowledge and management skills will meet this goal.

I believe that experience is always the best source of lifetime learning. Mothers who have truly experienced what it's like caring for their children are the most credible sources. Adding to mothers' experience, I'd like to share some things I know about staying smart and sexy for you and your family. I guess it is every mom's dream to stay fit and sexy even after she has given birth. I know one close friend whose dream is to be a hot momma  and she is actually living that dream now. In caring for children, mothers must never forget to also take good care of themselves. Young children must have proper nutrition because, without it, their growth and development can be greatly affected. As a mother, you must take an active role in the development of your children. This responsibility can be fulfilled ideally if you know how to be smart and sexy or a “smexy” mom. The many things that your children learn in the early years of their life can shape his/her thin...

        I have always been the meticulous one when it comes to medicating patients. Even when I was working as a staff nurse in a tertiary hospital, I made it a point to always apply the 3 checks principle and the Rights of Drug administration. I have been trained not to do short-cuts even when others are doing it. Sometimes, it takes real guts to be "the different one" when it comes to an environment where some people around you are not doing the ideal standard procedure. You have to be strong enough to stand firm in the face of ridicule and gossips. But then again, each one of us nurses are uniquely imperfect as human nature defines us all. There is always that experience when you look back and smile at your own human flaws. We make mistakes but it is always good to learn from them and not repeat them. Medication errors scare me and I have to admit that when it comes to medication administration, I strive harder than hard to be perfect.       ...

Nurse Educators shape many nursing students’ lives in this planet and they are the guardians of the nursing profession’s standards. It is never an easy job but it can be the most fulfilling career any qualified registered nurse can pursue. The future nurses become the reflection of today’s nurse educators.

What must happen to the nursing profession in 2015 or beyond? What could happen to your nursing career? If you belong to the baby boomer generation, you’ll probably think about how to start your retirement years. If you belong to the generation X or Y (the Millennials), then perhaps you are wondering about the DNP program which was first opened in 2001 at the University of Kentucky. Regardless of what generation you belong, it is important that you know the current developments of your chosen profession. You will not even bother to read further if you do not care about your career options right?

         There's this 2007 movie called,  The Great Debaters that I recently watched. It's all about a   drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson,  a professor at Wiley College Texas. The film is directed by Denzel Washington and stars himself as professor Tolson, Forest Whitaker as James Farmer Sr., Nate Parker as Henry Lowe, Denzel Whitaker as James Farmer Jr., Jurnee Smollett as Samantha Booke, and other casts. I think the characters were chosen for their roles because of the movie’s theme and the story involves African Americans. Each character has a distinct personality that fits their respective roles which give life and add meaning to the film.      I am amazed by the history of African Americans which speaks of freedom from slavery, justice for human rights and equality of men and women. This is the core of the debate in the film. Some of the driving forces that led to the debate are the  racial discr...
