If you don’t know who embattled Nurse Amanda Trujillo is, well, you’ve probably been living under a rock, or maybe you just worked 3 in a row…in either case, you’re forgiven.
Before you listen to her audio interview though, check out my 2 previous posts about her dire situation here and here.
Once you understand her case, you’ll also understand it’s far-reaching implications for the Nursing profession and a patient’s right to informed consent and right to determine the course of their own care.
Let that all sink in for a bit and then listen to Amanda explain her case in her own words in this very special interview:

Thinking about writing a book? Think no more. It has become easier for nurses (and anyone with a message) to share it with the world than ever before.
Self-publishing technology has literally leveled the playing field.
No more facing rejections from traditional book publishers. You are now in the driver’s seat and you can…plan, schedule, write, publish and promote your own book, easier and cheaper than ever before.
How do I know?
My first book, ‘5 Things They Never Told You in Nursing School,’ was completely self-published, self-promoted via Social Media and hit #1 on Amazon in the Nursing category in under 11 hours on December 11, 2011… That’s how I know it can be done.
(That’s also why from that day on, 11 has been my lucky number! Sorry 34, you were really good to me for a long time, but 11 is my new sweetheart now…ahhh, but I digress…)

What started as a frustration in nursing school, soon became an outlet for him to help fellow nurses and students and provide a great income for himself…Andrew’s Nurse Friendly Directories were born.

The Little Drummer Boy: All Gifts Are to Be Honored
Even if you haven’t seen the animated special, you’ve probably heard the story or the song. But here’s a recap if you’re unaware: The three Wise Men and the shepherds are heading to see the Baby Jesus, and the little drummer boy comes along for the ride. He is embarrassed when he has no gift to offer the newborn Savior.
Finally, he learns that his only skill – playing his drum – is enough.
Maybe you’ve felt this way: You take a skills assessment or strengths finder, or ask your friends and family what they turn to you for. The answers are less than stellar. Instead of being a powerhouse leader, or an inspiration, you come up as a great administrator, or… the Drummer Boy equivalent of today, a good listener. What are you supposed to do if you’ve got mad skillz as, say, a babysitter or folding paper airplanes? Can you possibly make a business out of that?
Well, the short answer is, yes, you can. Whatever your skill, there is a market for it. Follow these 3 tips to make sure you find your business home:
