Networking

By Hedrick Lepsch


Clara Barton, a pioneer in nursing as well as in women's rights, changed the world by undertaking the rewarding lifestyle nursing offers. Her efforts led to advancements in nursing as well as the foundation of The American Red Cross. Careers in the nursing field are among the most rewarding and admired. Sometimes, during the grueling process of nursing school, you lose sight of the honor associated with your future career. There is light at the end of the tunnel, although sometimes it might not feel like it. Below are some helpful tips to help you survive the nursing school gauntlet, get an RN and join the ranks of dignified nurses all over the world.

This is a tip that everybody knows, but few have the discipline to actually put it into practice. Learning the materials for your nursing exams becomes much easier if you dedicate time everyday towards reviewing what you have learned in classes. Cramming is not an effective way to study because of the way your memory converts short-term memories into long-term ones. Short-term memory becomes long-term memory through time.

When it comes to getting a job, you really need someone to vouch for you. You also need ideas. You can get both when you effectively network with the right people. When you show that you are an impressive individual with the right priorities, they will often be more than willing to get you out there into the workforce. If you are really impressive, you will find that people come to you just to tell you about job opportunities that could be of interest to you. Really what you are aiming for is a cheer squad, a team that is on your side, and a group that is invested in you as much as you are in yourself.

Your reach is only as far as your relationships and connections extend. If you lack those connections and friends, then you will find that you are lacking in the ability to really lead and influence, even on a communal level. This becomes very important when you are trying to promote your business, run for a political office, or promote some program in the community. Make sure that you are one of the most involved members in the community because people will be more likely to be involved in your life because they will see that you are proactive.

While overall a pretty good guy, his passion sometimes gets the best of him. He is particularly well known for his antics at Dallas Mavericks games. Rather than sitting up in a glass booth, he sits right down there on the bench, shouting away the moment the game gets underway. He has been fined multiple times, total costs soaring above a million dollars. Often criticized for his behavior, he at least is generous enough to match his fines with donations to charities as a sort of apology.

When you get discouraged, remember the importance of what you are doing. This is not only a career or a way to earn a living; it is a way of life that is a critical part of society. Your studies and hard work will enable you to save lives in the future, so keep that in mind. Keep working hard and doing your best and eventually you will graduate and join the ranks of great nurses like Clara Barton and others who have changed the world through nursing.
