It's Been Awhile...

Hi Fans, it's been awhile since I posted any updates...sorry about that!  Well, I am now entering a new chapter in my career with the recent completion of my PhD at the University of San Diego!!  I'm so excited about becoming an academician at California State University at Fullerton, and hope you'll follow me on my journey.  Look for more posts to come...for now, the update on healthcare...

Until we blog again...
Signed,
"Your Nurse Leader Today"

Leaders create a healthy work environment, and establish a culture of honor and respect through cultivating openness of mind and role-modeling these types of behaviors. Self-awareness and engaging others in self-discovery help to cultivate and create a climate of trust and honor.  Jean Watson (2009) recommended that health care providers develop an awareness of self as an essential component of transpersonal caring-healing, and to reflect on emergency, consciousness, and caring as the basis of nursing pra...
