Found My Niche

Update on the latest twists and turns in my nursing career.  My new company is great.  I love it there. I am pursuing my Wound Care Nurse certification from the WOCNA.  Things are looking up.

Just found your website. I am in my final semester of a 2 yr RN program. I also come from an IT background. Was wondering if there was anyway I communicate with you. I'm also having a lot of the same feelings even though I have not yet started my first RN job. Just my experiences during clinicals have caused me to question how I will be able to manage the transition. I have not observed much support from RNs towards students which leads me to question how they treat new grads.

Hi there, I found your site quite interesting since I am making a career transition into either nursing or radiography. I have been self employed for 17 years in 3D animation and computer programming and I too have had a desire to become actively involved in making the world a better place, and due to a variety of health crises in my family I have had the chance to admire nursing and hospital staff and the work they do. I'm starting my first term of pre-requisites in 3 weeks and am blogging about my transition as well.
I'm going to add your blog to my links and you can find mine at: http://www.mycareerdoover.com

Thanks,
Dan

Hi,

This is the assistant editor for Hospital.com which is a medical publication offering hospital news,

information and reviews. We also cover a wide variety of medical topics, some of these articles being relevant

to nursing schools and issues around their prospective students (scholarships, grants, etc). We are in the

process of giving the nursing industry a dedicated section from our site and are currently seeking online

resources which can be offered to our readers of this section. If possible I would like Hospital.com to be

included within your blog roll, offering our information as a resource to your readers and essentially

building a relationship between our sites. Please let me know if this addition can be made, Thanks!

Please email me back with your URL in subject line to take a step ahead and to avoid spam.

Thank you
Mary Miller,

Hi Monika,

I know this is extremely random but I figured this is the best way to contact you. I wanted to reach out to you to see if you could help me out.

I am a recent graduate from business school (UVA) and have decided to take my chances starting my own company. So about a year ago I laid the groundwork for www.scrubadoo.com. I have actually blogged about the process of starting a company etc here: www.scrubadoo.com/blog.

We are finally really happy with where everything is at with the site and decided to launch a promotion where we are going to give away free scrubs for life to someone. It is a pretty cool competition and it should be a fun process to enter (we have a "how to enter" video on the website and on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVFRizH8zRA )

Anyhow, turns out it isn't easy to spread the word about the promotion, which is why I am looking at as many avenues as I can. I was hoping you may be able to make a quick post about the competition, post it on your facebook site, or make a tweet about it.....really anything would be helpful.

I would also really appreciate any feedback you may have on idea's of how to get the word out better, what you think about out website, or about the promotion itself (do you think its a good idea?).

I would really appreciate the help and if you have some time for the feedback my email is brett@scrubadoo.com. Thank you so much for the time and I look forward to hearing from you!

-Brett

Hello, I just found your website. Thank you for putting this together for those of us looking to transition into the nursing field.

I am enrolled to begin the prereqs in the Fall semester for the nursing program. I too will be leaving the IT field, partly for some of the same reasons as you.

Is there any chance we can hear an update from you? I'd love to get your perspective now that some time has passed since your last post. Have you not posted because you are not enjoying Wound Care like you initially thought?

-Thank you again for posting your life experiences and for leaving them up.

Found your niche as did we all. The day I decided to become a nurse practitioner was the best and most important day of my life. More importantly, It was the happiest day.
