I was born in New Orleans, the city of fun, so I grew up thinking everything was supposed to be fun. Expecting it made it so. My first job selling Avon to total strangers was fun. Next, flipping burgers at Burger King was fun. So when I decided to become a nurse I thought that would be the ultimate – to get to do something where I could make a real difference. I was on fire. This was my passion. And at first everything was fun. Starting an IV – Fun. Cleaning up a patient’s crap – Fun. But the excitement didn’t last long.
After six years in nursing, I faced the reality that starting IVs and cleaning up crap were NOT fun and I had to acknowledge that I was unhappy with the direction of my nursing career. Although I was working as hard as I could, I was moving no farther up the mountain of success.
I was losing touch with the fun I’d had when I first started nursing. While I didn’t suffer severe burnout like some of my colleagues, every time I visualized working as an RN until age 40, 50 or 60, I felt like I was dying a slow death. Worse yet, I thought something was wrong with me for not being more excited about what nursing had to offer.
A quick look at my colleagues told me I was not alone. These were great nurses who had loved nursing, who contributed a lot. But they weren’t having fun. Most of them were dissatisfied, and strangely, they seemed to accept this as their fate, as if there was nothing they could do about it. They settled into a life of complaining at lunch, on breaks and at every possible opportunity.
Unwilling to give in to this negative attitude, I knew it was up to me to change the direction of my nursing career. Otherwise, I could wind up on my deathbed with nothing but regrets.
I still wanted to be a nurse. I just wanted to practice nursing on my own terms. That’s why I like the way the New York Times describes my personal adventure as creating my own nursing profession – legal nurse consulting. Looking back, I guess that was my way of solving my personal challenge of wanting something more for my nursing career. Keep Reading
We are deep into the information age. In fact, there’s so much information coming at us from so many different directions that “information anxiety” should probably be a DSM-V diagnosis. Too much information (TMI) is our reality, and while there’s a distinct difference between quantity and quality, it’s easy to get sucked into the low quality noise. Do we really want to reduce our lives to the details of Ashton Kutcher’s sex life, Alec Baldwin’s musing about flight attendants or a constant stream of updates from “friends” we haven’t seen since high school?
Recently I was involved in three different mentoring situations with three legal nurse consultants. The first one forgot and missed our phone appointment. The second failed to complete the simple advance assignment I’d given her, despite the fact that she has more than enough free time on her hands – I know because I get her constant Facebook updates. The third is raising four sons, holding down a full-time nursing job and still made time to complete the assignments on schedule and attend an additional mentoring session for an upcoming interview with a potential attorney-client. Which Certified Legal Nurse Consultant do you think will be most successful?
In these busy times fraught with TMI what will you do to cut out the noise? Make a wise decision – your CLNC® business depends on it. Now that’s a bit of information that really merits your attention.
