Any new graduate will have a tough transition from classroom to work place. That is doubly true for nurses, who have to grow up in a career where life and death issues are the norm, not the exception. According to author Barbara Arnoldussen, RN, MBA, the pathway to a successful nursing career starts long before your first day on the job. To insure that you get started on the right foot in your new career, Arnoldussen advises newly minted nurses to be deliberate and prepared at every step along the path to landing that first job.
In her book, "First Year Nurse: Wisdom, Warnings, and What I Wish I'd Known My First 100 Days", she advises you to question, question, question everyone you meet during the application process for any job. Starting with the employment department, ask specific questions about those policies and practices that could have serious long term consequences on your work environment. To make sure your job is a good fit, include these questions as you meet with the employment department and clinical teams.
- How does the employer orientate new nurses? Is there a formal orientation period? Will you have a mentor or preceptor?
- How many other nurses work in the same capacity as the job you are considering? How many are also new grads?
- How much time off is allowed for continuing education? Are your reimbursed for any training expenses?
- What is the staffing ratio of nurse to patient?
Of course, you will want to ask about the shift schedule. How many hours are nurses schedule at a shift? Are weekends and holidays rotated among the nursing staff? Do you have any choice about shift length or starting time? Make sure you get your offer, including salary, and benefits, in writing before you accept the job.
How will you know when you have started that perfect job? Arnoldussen give you some signs to look for. A jewel of a job will have:
- Room to grow professionally
- A strong team approach among the nursing staff
- A role model or mentor assigned to all newly graduated nurses.
- Support and resources devoted to ongoing education services
- A welcoming atmosphere that invites questions and input
- Variety in the tasks to which you are assigned
- Appreciation by senior staff for your talents and contributions.
During your first 100 days, or sooner, you'll begin to understand the difference between nursing school and the real world. Expect a seemingly endless string of eye-opening experiences. Just keep focused. Remind yourself that for the time that you are on the job, your patients are most important thing in your life. Your observations, even as a new nurse, can be critical to their recovery.
Then, when your shift is over, leave your work at the office or hospital. Your career may depend on it. Nurse burnout is a serious problem, causing a steadily increasing exodus from the profession. A study done in 2007 by Dr. Christine Cover reported that 13% of new nurses left their primary job, while 37% were planning to leave. A minimum, those nurses are essentially wasting four years of a costly university education. More importantly, they are closing the door to the many opportunities that nursing can offer. To keep from joining the exodus, be selfish about your free time. Give yourself plenty of opportunity to unwind, particularly after a difficult shift. Find ways to relieve stress when you are away from the job.
Consider the first 100 days as an important transition in your career and your life. The best pathway to success during this time is to go into your job well prepared with information you have gathered during your education and the hiring process. Watch, listen and learn. And realize that this period is an important part of your professional growth.

The Early Years $29.95 This clear and practical workbook shows the importance of encouraging resilience in pre-school children who live in challenging circumstances. Focusing on assessment of need, Brigid Daniel and Sally Wassell show how to evaluate resilience using checklists and background information. They explain that children in their early years gain resilience from a range of experiences, including attachment relationships, opportunities to develop self-esteem and learning to understand others and behaving in a positive way towards them. With this in mind, they set out ways of encouraging pro-social behaviour in young children: involving them in the process of evaluation, giving support to the parent or carer of the child, and using activities to nurture the child's 'theory of mind'. Including guidance on ongoing monitoring and supported by case studies from practice, this book is an essential guide to nurturing resilience for all those who work with young children and their families. The workbook stands alone but also forms part of a set along with two other resilience resources on The School Years and Adolescence. The complete set can be bought together at a reduced price. |

The School Years $29.95 Helping practitioners in their work with vulnerable children of a school-going age, this workbook explores ways of nurturing resilience in different aspects of everyday life. Focusing on specific areas such as home life, talents and interests, friendships and social competencies, the authors show how to make thorough assessments and intervene in constructive ways. They discuss nurturing factors relevant to children across the school years age range, such as moral reasoning and empathy, awareness of other people's intentions and the ability to see situations from different perspectives. The authors describe techniques for drawing out such positive behaviour in discussion and observation, through stories, questions and activities. With a strong emphasis on application and encouragement, this workbook is ideal for the busy social or family worker who wants practical guidance on evaluation, intervention and ongoing support. This workbook stands alone but also forms part of a set along with two other resilience resources on The Early Years and Adolescence. |

The Atlanta Years $22.99 It would probably have been more fitting to credit 2005's The Atlanta Years solely to Steve Marriott, as he's the only recognizable name from Humble Pie here. The story goes something like this -- circa 1982 and 1983 (immediately after a briefly reunited Humble Pie called it quits once again), Marriott regularly gigged and recorded in the Atlanta area. And despite the fact that Marriott did play other places during this time, it's referred to as his "Atlanta Years," which this 17-track release focuses on. With countless veteran rockers trading in their blues-rock and blue jeans for synths and headbands during this era, Marriott admirably sticks to his stylistic guns here, as evidenced by such bluesy, funky, and soulful tracks as "Heartbreaker," "Trouble You Don't Fool Me," and "I Need More." Also rounding out the set are live renditions of several Humble Pie classics, including elongated versions of "Thirty Days in the Hole" and "I Don't Need No Doctor," as well as a 20-minute phone interview with one of Marriott's former wives. While The Atlanta Years is certainly not a wise starting point to discover the great Humble Pie (search out one of their many comps of early-'70s material), it does serve as a taster of what one of rock's most underrated vocalists was up to during the early '80s. ~ Greg Prato |

The Panic Years $11.99 Have you ever found yourself thinking, “If one more friend gets engaged I’m going to scream”? Do the words taffeta and crinoline make you break into a cold sweat? Does reading the wedding announcements section in the newspaper induce outright hyperventilation? If so, congratulations! You’ve hit the Panic Years. According to author Doree Lewak, the Panic Years mark the point (usually around your twenty-sixth birthday) when your dating agenda fundamentally changes—from dating for a fling to dating for a ring. Suddenly your newly married friends feel more like enemies, weddings become mocking reminders of your own single status, and you contemplate going on a reality TV show to find true love. What’s a girl to do? In The Panic Years, Lewak delivers a hilarious and helpful road map for conquering the Panic and finding Mr. Right. As Lewak shows, you can win the race to the altar by changing your tactics from Panicked to Proactive—and keeping your sense of humor along the way. You will learn how to: Cope with Panic by Proxy—pushy friends and parents. Successfully hunt for PFs (Potential Fiancés). Project hotness and desirability. Set—and stick to—dating time lines. Avoid being bitter at your friends’ weddings — and ruining all their pictures with that scowl on your face. Get the ring and the proposal and seal the deal! Packed with true-life stories from the Panic trenches as well as indispensable advice, The Panic Years is the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to survive her single years (with sanity intact), snag her perfect guy, and remain fabulous throughout it all. You know you’re in the Panic Years when: Your mom slips you the number of her tennis partner’s son … for the fifth time. You’ve walked down the aisle dozens of times—just not as a bride. Your “concerned friends” chip in for a subscription to Match.com for your birthday. It’s down to you and the five-year-old flower girl at the bouquet toss. Upon hearing “Guess what? I’m engaged!” for the second time in one week, you disconnect your phone. You actively scheme to win back your ex—even though he’s already engaged to someone else. From the Hardcover edition. |

Unforgiving Years $16.95 Unforgiving Years  is a thrilling and terrifying journey into the disastrous, blazing core of the twentieth century. Victor Serge’s final novel, here translated into English for the first time, is at once the most ambitious, bleakest, and most lyrical of this neglected major writer’s works.   The book is arranged into four sections, like the panels of an immense mural or the movements of a symphony. In the first, D, a lifelong revolutionary who has broken with the Communist Party and expects retribution at any moment, flees through the streets of prewar Paris, haunted by the ghosts of his past and his fears for the future. Part two finds D’s friend and fellow revolutionary Daria caught up in the defense of a besieged Leningrad, the horrors and heroism of which Serge brings to terrifying life. The third part is set in Germany. On a dangerous assignment behind the lines, Daria finds herself in a city destroyed by both Allied bombing and Nazism, where the populace now confronts the prospect of total defeat. The novel closes in Mexico, in a remote and prodigiously beautiful part of the New World where D and Daria are reunited, hoping that they may at last have escaped the grim reckonings of their modern era.   A visionary novel, a political novel, a novel of adventure, passion, and ideas, of despair and, against all odds, of hope,  Unforgiving Years  is a rediscovered masterpiece by the author of  The Case of Comrade Tulayev. |

The Sexy Years $13.99 Getting older can be brutal—women gain weight, lose their sex drive, experience hot flashes, suffer memory loss, become short-tempered, find it difficult to sleep, and on and on. It’s not so easy for men, either—they start to lose energy and stamina as they age, too (and they have to live with women going through menopause). After years of being thin and fit and full of energy, Suzanne herself encountered the “Seven Dwarfs of Menopause”—Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Sleepy, Bloated, Forgetful, and All-Dried-Up. Instead of living out the rest of her life cranky, sleep-deprived, and libido-less, Suzanne set out to discover how she could get her mind, body, and life back and banish those pesky dwarfs for good. The result is The Sexy Years: Discover the Hormone Connection—The Secret to Fabulous Sex, Great Health, and Vitality, for Women and Men . In this passionately argued and enormously practical book, Suzanne supports her own research and experiences with the expertise of leading doctors in the field of women’s and men’s health and sexuality to create an inspiring, accessible call-to-arms to women to radically rethink how they approach life after fifty, and give them the tools to turn their lives around. Suzanne has discovered that the second half of life has been more rewarding, fun, and purposeful than her younger years. The key to her happiness? Taking natural bioidentical hormones. Natural hormones, which mimic the hormones produced in our own bodies that are almost completely lost with aging, are the answer to the symptoms of menopause that plague women. Recent findings from the medical community show that synthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be harmful to women—thus, thousands of women are looking for what else they can do to alleviate their symptoms. In The Sexy Years , Suzanne comes to the rescue with a step-by-step plan and detailed information about how women can take control of their health, for themselves and for their men, including: • What the differences are between synthetic and bioidentical hormones, and why bioidentical hormones help women lose weight, reinvigorate their sex lives, and fight the symptoms of aging • How doctors do not receive adequate training about hormones and are slaves to the pharmaceutical industry, and what questions every woman must ask her physician about hormone replacement therapy and her health • How Suzanne turned her life around, with information about how often she visits her doctor, blood work, what hormones she takes, how to get these hormones, and more • What male menopause, or andropause, is and how men can also take bioidentical hormones and regain the energy they had in their youth • What a variety of specialists think about natural hormones, health, and sexuality—Suzanne shares the best advice from these doctors and provides a resource list of physicians and pharmacies With bioid |
