Nurses are born leaders and salespeople
Nurses out there are probably saying what do you mean We are born salespeople? I know that you know you are leaders in your profession because look at what nurses do.
We must make life changing decisions in split seconds. We must deligate work to others and make sure it is done. We save lives. We help people make difficult decisions. We are there during good times and in tragic times in people's lives.
Now as far as salespeople ,we can all remember the patient we refused to take the medication whatever it may have been but was extremely important for the pt to take at that moment.You had to convince him/her to take it.
What about the pt who would not reason with anyone else but you.What about the pt who needed to make changes in their lifestyle in order to survive. The stories are endless.
So remember You had to sell them health. You had to sell them life.

Introducing myself
Welcome,my name is Diana Kerekes,RN. I have been a for 24 yrs. I decided to be a nurse when I was 6 yrs. old. Just like many of you I had many dreams of changing the world, I wanted to save lives. Yes,I did save lives and helped change lives.
Here is my story . After graduating nursing school, I started working in the hospital on the med surg floor as a charge nurse. OH, THE GOOD OLD DAYS ON THE UNIT.I give credit to all the hospital nurses out there. As a matter of fact I give credit to every hard working dedicated nurse out there. Without YOU we do not have a profession. I was the only RN on the floor while a pt was coding,a pt having a hypoglycemic reaction and a pt having a MI all at the same time. There were just three of us a LPN an aide and myself.
After that I started working for the Visiting Nurses.There you really have to depend on your knowledge and skills because you are on your own. YOU ARE IT!! I had to leave due to a bitter divorce .I have since remarried. When I left the VNA. I worked in clinic,nursing home and assisted living all the while trying to start a home based business.I could not devote the time I needed and I did not have any resources to follow or a mentor to guide me.
As you are probably thinking I still want to give the quality of care to my patients but just cant anymore because ot being BURNT OUT.So if you have thoughts like me to start a home based business ,Great !Go for it.You can do it!!You are a nurse . IF you can save lives You can do anything !!That's exaclty why,now I finally decided to do this.I love being a nurse and I love my patients but I still need to be me.
So this is why I decided to only work part time at the VNA. and devote all week to my home based business. I have an excellent support system from my husband and family. I have met some wonderful people which I will introduce to you in future blogs who are willing to help you with you dreams. They will be an asset to your business. I know people who work full time and have successful home based business. You will be surpized who you can network with if you give yourself a chance.
Remember,look at what you accomplished as a nurse you are independent in you decisions,fast thinkers,leaders,teachers,and much more...
I am willing to work with anyone who needs a guiding hand in starting their business. We all need each other. Remember we took an oath to serve. I want people to feel free to share thei ideas in my blog to help other nurses succeed
