Teresa Sanderson is an Associate Degree Nurse turned nurse entrepreneur. Her frustration with the lack of quality hospice care in her area led her to start her own hospice agency. As an outside-the-box thinker, Teresa used nursing CE programs to grow her hospice agency to over $3,000,000. In this episode, she will share with you exactly how she accomplished this.
Today Teresa teaches other nurses how to become CE providers and nurse entrepreneurs and how to use nursing CE as a marketing tool.
Teresa also has a passion project called Nurses Feed their Young where she is ending the tradition of nurses eating their young.
Recently I have seen numerous posts on soc media by people applying for over 100 jobs and still not getting the position they want. If this is you STOP! Before you apply for another job listen to this episode.
The best way to get a job you will hate is with the “spray and pray” approach. Applying for every work-from-home job with an opening just to get away from the bedside. Or applying for every opening in your geographical area because you are desperate.
Desperation stinks and good employers, the ones you want to work for, will not hire desperate. They want qualified people who will fit in well with their current team and embrace the company culture.
Maybe you’re one of those people who entered nursing school knowing exactly what specialty you wanted to practice. If you’re like most of us, however, you’ve probably considered a range of specialties and even decided then changed your mind a few times.
The good news is that you still have plenty of time. Even if you don’t land your dream job right out of school, you’ll be able to explore other options with a little more experience. After all, one of the appealing things about a career in nursing is the flexibility it provides.
Unless you’ve been in outer space or a coma for the last month, you’re familiar with the concept of social distancing, and you’re staying home to help stop the spread of coronavirus and keep your family and community safe. I applaud you and thank you for doing your part. But home is a dangerous place too, and you may not be safe from your own self while sequestered there. Let’s not forget that there are other things besides coronavirus that can still harm us. I don’t mean to stoke fear and panic in an already panicky moment in history. But I do want to keep you out of the hospital. As an ER Nurse for 18 years, I’ve seen lots of everyday household activities go sideways and result in ER visits.
