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.

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.

Hey guys! So, it’s a new year and that means I’ve decided to start a new tradition here at “I Coach Nurses.” At least once, maybe twice a week, I’ll be featuring a ‘column’ called “Nurse Entrepreneurs To Watch” (NETW for short) that will feature nurses out there pioneering their own way and acting as a role model for other nurses, making a huge difference in peoples’ lives, and making a nice chunk of change for themselves: win-win-win. I hope you guys like the new column and pay attention to the way these nurses think, act and conduct their business. There’s a lot of great stuff to be learned from people out there doing it right! So, without further ado….enjoy!

Once in awhile you come across news that stirs your heart or stories that motivate you to do and be more. As nurses, in our pressurized and challenging environments, our days are sometimes filled with mundane tasks and endless demands which leave us tired and unmotivated.
Some of us want ‘out,’ yet it’s easy to get complacent. After all, nursing is still highly in demand and our pay is relatively high when compared to many other professions.
So how do you stay motivated if all around you are tired nurses, demanding bosses and sick patients?

Hey guys,
Hope you’re all enjoying the holidays as much as I am!
Boy, I’ve been hitting the cake and eggnog a little hard these days – I won’t lie, the pants are definitely fitting a little tighter than usual – so it’s back to the gym with a vengeance for me in January!
Anyway, I wanted to give you guys links to 2 guest blog posts I wrote in the last week, so you didn’t miss out on these nuggets!

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.
