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. It's not a friendship or popularity contest. It is serious business. So, don't waste your vote by not voting for the best representative, the person who demonstrates their steadfast commitment to the causes that we all care about, who would offer a diverse view, who has demonstrated their commitment to ARN through years of service in multiple capacities and has demonstrated their abilities in leadership. So, use your voice, consider your choices thoughtfully, and VOTE in the current ARN election

Now what really makes my day is seeing the miracle of a CVA patient lifting their hand or moving their fingers for the first time, that GBS patient come in flat on their back and being discharged walking and being able to show that spinal cord injury patient that there is still a life out there for them. Recently I had one of my cord injury patients come back and show me how he could now lift his leg. I don't know who was more proud him or me. I can't wait for him to come back and show me that he is walking
1 Comment - Beautifully worded! This is Exactly why I am returning to the field of rehabilitation Nursing. After 13 years in the field I ventured off into other nursing settings but after truly missed it. It has been 10 years and now so excited to begin my new employment in acute rehabilitation January 3rd
If you are new and have never attended an ARN conference you should really think about going. 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. You find out that they have the same issues you have on your unit
1 Comment - 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
