One year ago I made the decision to go
back into clinical practice. I made this decision for 2 reasons: First, I still
teach seminars with clinical topics (certification review courses, medsurg topics,
etc.). It’s a credibility thing – I can’t teach about clinical topics if I’m
not still practicing clinically!
Second, for me to be an effective keynote speaker and help nurses
succeed, I need to know what they are going through.
Going back to the bedside after being
away for such a long time (8 years) was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but it
was the best decision I’ve ever made. Not only does this experience give me
great stories to share while I teach, it gives me great insight and
understanding to the challenges current and future nurses face.
This
knowledge helps me to help you!
