June is “Rebuild Your Life Month”! What better time than now to start making some positive changes that could impact your life and your career for the better? According to an article by Dr. Elizabeth Scott, there are a few quick and easy steps you can take to reassess your life and plan for positive change.
First, think about what you truly value. It might be helpful to make a list of what matters most to you in life. This list is your priority. Once you see what your priorities are, it’s easy to think about your daily activities in light of these priorities. Try removing any activities that aren’t in keeping with your priorities. While you may not be able to quit your job to spend more time with your family, you could eliminate an hour of watching TV each night and devote that time to game night or other activities with your family.
Next, imagine the life you want. Try to imagine realistically and with as much detail as possible. With this "best life" in mind, look at your regular activities and eliminate those that will not move you toward the life you want to lead—then make an effort to add activities that do.
Finally, think about the implications of your decisions. When you say “yes” to one activity, you are probably saying “no” to another. Your time is limited and precious. Make sure you are spending your time in a productive manner that matches your priorities and efforts to achieve the life you want.
When you make a list of priorities, imagine the life you want, and determine how you want to spend your time, does advancing your education or career have a place? If so, why not make “Rebuild Your Life Month” the month you contact The College Network to begin making a positive change that can impact your life and your career in wonderful ways? You can start earning business, nursing, healthcare, and professional degrees online from top universities TODAY!
If you've considered furthering your nursing education through the pursuit of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), you've likely wondered about the potential benefits of holding a BSN. While there are many routes that lead to a solid nursing education, the most direct and beneficial route involves becoming a bachelor's-prepared nurse. In fact, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's 
We hope you've enjoyed our tribute to influential nurses throughout history in honor of Nurses' Week 2013. These extraordinary women accomplished great things to change the face of healthcare as we know it today. How will you make an impact on the future of nursing?
As you know, we've developed a series titled "5 Influential Nurses Who Changed the Face of Healthcare" in honor of Nurses' Week 2013. The third nurse profiled in our series is Clara Barton, founder of the Red Cross.
Well known as the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale advocated for continued advances in healthcare and nursing throughout her life. And although she died over a century ago, her famous words about forward movement in the nursing field still ring true. In order to keep up with the ever-changing healthcare industry, nurses must continue to grow in their profession through the pursuit of advanced education. 
What do you think of when you hear of career options in the healthcare field? Do you think it only means a registered nurse, licensed practical nurse or someone that has a nursing degree? There are actually many diverse career options in the healthcare field. And it's a field that is not only stable but growing according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Although the unemployment rate increased slightly in October-going from 7.8% to 7.9%-the United States still added 
I think most of us have a bucket list. Even if it isn't something that we write down, we keep it in the back of our mind. It's the dream that we would like to achieve certain things and have certain experiences during our lifetime. Sometimes it's the glamorous dreams that get our attention. For instance, one day I want to attend the Cannes Film Festival in France and ride in a gondola through Venice. Sounds pretty good, right? Well, I also have things on my list that won't require a passport. I want to read one book every week. I want to learn how to cook as good as my mother. Those are certainly much more attainable. (Although, my mom is a great cook!)
very interested to read about education, I had to jump on this article.
80% of nurses hold Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees. It is a call to action for the nursing industry to respond to the changing needs of the healthcare system.
Did you know that male nurses make up a significant number of those working in the nursing field? Currently around 6% of the nursing population are men. With the growing healthcare field, it also makes sense that this number should increase as well.
There is quite a bit of data out there that shows that the healthcare field is one that is not only stable, but one that is growing. And while you might be interested in working in this field, you don't feel that becoming a registered nurse would be a good fit for you.
There are many reports that talk about the increasing need for registered nurses. With the aging baby boomer population, planning for changing healthcare needs will be at the forefront of hospitals and providers across the country.
