October 25, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Speaking of the IOM, if you were in Montreal, you heard a lot about the IOM report, The Future of Nursing. Specifically, the issue of the BSN as entry into practice. There’s going to be a lot of debate about this in our circles over the coming months, so my advice to everyone is, start [...]

Post-Assembly Odds and Ends

October 24, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Montreal was a whirlwind: exhausting, rejuvenating, exciting…Thanks to everyone who sought me out to talk to me about FHO. Did you know we have almost 500 regular subscribers? And countless more who just stop by to read at their leisure? I love that this site has introduced me to so many new colleagues and friends. Thanks [...]

June 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment

I have had quite a few emails from my Photo post the other day, including several questions about how to get stronger on the foundations–simply understanding the way the camera works and how to take a basic shot.

February 9, 2011 | 1 Comment

I get a ton of email and questions at conferences about nursing education. Most of it is from nurses who want to continue their education and aren’t sure where they should head; some are from people who can’t figure out the initials after my name (in the rare instances I use them) or of their [...]

10 Things: Managing Time

February 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Because of my ridiculous schedule and the number of projects I juggle, I get a lot of emails asking for tips and resources for managing time.  It seems people are overwhelmed at how much they have to do in their regular workdays, and are floundering a bit trying to get it all done.

Performance Evaluation + a Cool Webinar for our Attorney Friends

January 31, 2011 | Leave a Comment

Okay, gang, commence with the collective eye rolling: time once again for an evaluation offering. I know, I know–not the most popular of subjects on this site. And yet, I still force feed you them.

January 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment

ReachMD has a podcast on new directions in the delivery of CME content that might be pretty interesting for those of you who plan conferences and other educational offerings.

And honestly, not a moment too soon. This will be my last post for the year. Tomorrow I am going to enjoy my daughter and my partner, and head to Baltimore to ring in the new year with good friends. But today, I thought I’d leave you with a little inspiration to carry us into [...]
