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
