This book is a culmination of frustrations felt by nurses all around the world who want to make a change in their career but just don't know how. As a nurse our focus is on the patient always, but who is worried about the well-being of the nurse? Over my twelve year nursing career I have seen good nurses beaten down by the system who feel as if they have no choice but to stand up for themselves and start their own business. They are tired of working the long shifts with little appreciation from the patients they care for, or management for that matter. They are tired of working odd hours and days when they would like to be home spending time with their family. They are tired of living paycheck to paycheck although outsiders have the impression nurses make "good money." What is "good money" when you have to sacrifice so much? I have encountered many nurses who want to do something different with their career but don't know where to begin. This is when ReNursing Career Consulting was conceived, but it wasn't enough. I wanted to reach the masses and spread the word that nurses are fully capable of starting their own business and living the life of their dreams. What better way to do this than by writing a book?
