A brief article on mentorship that I contributed to a few months ago.
Getting things DOne.
I’m finally moving towards getting more DOne in my daily routines. Notice I have the letters DO in CAPS. This is so necessary because it is a bold reminder to just get things DOne. Today was the first day of The Housecall Course after a six month hiatus to spend more time with my young family. It was refreshing to be back and have the opportunity to share my knowledge with some entrepreneurial nurse practitioners from East Texas and New Jersey. The excitement about the field of Housecalls is infectious and encouraging. The East Texas NPs will be bringing healthcare to rural areas of Texas where Houscalls are not yet performed. How exciting to be a pioneer!!!!! They are moving and DOing. I’m inspired by their enthusiasm. Pics to follow on tomorrows blog. I’m now off to DO some writing on my latest project. DO More. Besos
NursesFYI Magazine
I am blessed to be on my second magazine cover of my NP career. NursesFYI is an online magazine found exclusively on the Apple newsstand. Happy NP Week!
New Housecall Course Dates
Hello all…The New Housecall Course dates will now be prominently posted on the FRONT PAGE of the website! This has been a frequent request. I’m listening. I promise.
Between meetings, speaking engagements, photo shoots, and just being a ‘mommy’ to my 2 little babies, things are finally coming along again. I have loaded the August dates and will have all Housecall Course dates for 2013 loaded by this weekend. Thanks for your patience and keep the suggestions coming! Besos

2013 The Year of Educating and Inspiring our Youth About Who Nurse Practitioners Are
Today, I called a local High School to inquire about speaking to their HS Juniors and Seniors about The Role of the Nurse Practitioner. This was a random call that I felt inspired to do because sometimes you just have to “give back” especially when you have been given so much. Anyway, the school principal came to the phone and excitedly said, ” Where have you been? We have representatives from the field of law, medicine, and a few accountants, but we have no nursing representation. We have been having a lot of students to ask about the NP and what they do, but we did not know where to begin to look. I’m so glad you called. When can you come and talk to them? Lunch is on us!” WOW! We set a date and I was so encouraged that after this conversation, I contacted a couple more schools and got an eerily similar response. I subsequently set up dates with them too. We need to encourage the next generation to join our profession and show them what we do. Let’s just start with one High School at a time. I’m excited and encouraged about what the future holds.

2012 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 3,200 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 5 years to get that many views.

We are thrilled to be a part of this groundbreaking “not so” new way of delivering healthcare to many who would otherwise not receive assistance with their medicines and chronic disease states. Housecalls is the answer to reduced hospitalizations and lower ER admissions which saves EVERYONE.
