Nurse Entrepreneurs to Watch: Kevin Ross, R.N.

Hey guys, on Monday I introduced you to Keith Carlson, one of my co-hosts on RN.FM Radio. Today, I’d like to introduce you to my other partner in crime, Kevin Ross from InnovativeNurse.com.

Kevin is our no-nonsense, tech-savvy, won’t settle for anything less than the very best kind of nurse entrepreneur….and we love him for it!

Here’s Kevin’s motto:

Seek every opportunity for continuing education. A business can never afford to be static. Innovation is the key to success and it is a delicate combination of ever-changing art and science.

He is an ultra-innovative, self-starter and always has his “head on a swivel,” as he likes to say. Early in his professional career he realized that if he wasn’t working his passion and living up to his potential…he was just existing and ‘getting by’…that’s painful for some of us to recognize….and it was a painful realization for him as well.

By digging deep and identifying his passion and then strategically pursuing it, Kevin was able to achieve a level of wellness, career satisfaction and purpose that few achieve.

Nurse Entrepreneurs to Watch: Keith Carlson aka ‘Nurse Keith’

Hey guys, let me introduce Keith Carlson, my Co-Host at “RN.FM Radio: Nursing Unleashed!“.

Keith has been a nurse for over 15 years and has been blogging and working online successfully since 2005. Recently, he has begun a nurse coaching practice, where he helps nurses rediscover their passion and live a more fulfilled life.

Keith believes that, ‘Success breeds success…how you think and who you hang out with on a daily basis will determine your frame of mind.’

Most nurses and caregivers in general, tend to give so much of themselves that they often forget to care for themselves as well. Who among us hasn’t been there?

The problem is that nurses who forget to take care of themselves are destined to face burnout.

Guest Blogger Opinion Piece: Who are the Hospice Heroes?

They are the practitioners of the difficult and heroic art of transition, whose ultimate goal is to promote quality of life. Hospice Heroes accept and embrace this gift of providing compassionate end of life care for their patients as a profound mission based on self- sacrifice and a willingness to live for something greater than themselves. They know that care is more than tending to the physical end of life, so they are able to be and act in the present moment to help ease the gnawing fears that the patient, his or her family, and support group feel. Above all, Hospice Heroes understand that death does not have to be painful, joyless, or lacking in dignity.

We have entrusted them with such a profound responsibility, yet we often neglect to provide them with the necessary tools to carry out their mission.  In 2006, The National Quality Forum published A National Framework and Preferred Practices for Palliative and Hospice Care Quality: A Consensus Report. This report details the problems hindering healthcare outcomes, the preferred practices to improve healthcare outcomes, and the rationale for developing these practices.

Senior Housing Market Booms

By Harold Brubaker - The Philadelphia Inquirer

PHILADELPHIA — Though the overall housing market has not escaped the doldrums, the senior housing sector, driven by investment companies, has gone gangbusters since 2010.

In the third quarter of 2011 alone, 39 senior housing deals worth $5.5 billion were completed, primarily by real estate investment trusts that specialize in housing for the elderly. That figure includes independent-living and assisted-living communities, but not nursing homes.

The total value of senior housing deals in the quarter ended Sept. 30 was greater than the combined total in the previous two full years, according to the National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing & Care Industry in Annapolis, Md.
