It is a lot of fun and you meet people in the same field of nursing you are in. Its fun to talk to other nurses and get their perspective on what's going on in rehab...I always come back with a back full of new products to show the nurses on my unit
1 Comment - I would love to go to a conference but it will have to wait for next year. I have worked as an acute Rehab Nurse in the past but now am working as the Restorative Coordinator for the CLC at the Phoenix VA. I have a lot of ideas to increase staff participation and understanding of Restorative Nursing Principles but could use more "ammo" to coin a term
We started out on our unit with almost 90% of our patients being the easy ortho patients and have slowly gone to having more neuro patients. Now we have almost 50% of our patients that are neuro patients. I used to love the easy ortho patients
1 Comment - This is Exactly why I am returning to the field of rehabilitation Nursing...It has been 10 years and now so excited to begin my new employment in acute rehabilitation January 3rd

How will you be celebrating Certified Nurses Day?

Some of you may be too young, but as a child of the 60's, I am acutely aware that the right for all to vote only came about during my lifetime. I remember my parents working on efforts to help make voting in the south a reality. That's why voting in any election, be it local, national, or even our nursing organization's election is so important to me. Voting is a powerful tool. It allows me to have a voice by way of my representation
