Theresa Brown: RN Media Star

What a great inside view of the author. I read that article in CNN when it was published and was very much impressed by it. Thanks for posting the names of her books. I will have to read those.Great job with the interview!! Looking forward to reading others you might do.

Thank you for your encouragement.

Excellent article. I really enjoy Theresa Brown's writing in the NYT. Since I'm not a nurse, I have wondered what nurses think of her. She has a true gift for communication. She's writing about things most folks can understand -- short staffing, obstreperous colleagues -- then all of a sudden you are reminded that she is addressing life or death issues. It has a real impact -- on me, anyway. Now you've inspired me to want to check out her book!

I love this article!!!! As a career changer myself, I feel a major connection! I volunteer within my community to support health care for those who have limited access. I use skills and experience gained as a clinically working nurse, but I also use my talents and skill set learned from my career in health care prior to nursing to make an even bigger impact!With that said, not only do I love to see that she continues to work as a nurse, but she is able to use her talents and skills learned away from bedside to translate and articulate our challenges to lay people. Therefore, I think she is modest and that her blog and column serves to elevate nursing in ways that not many of us could. So, I too encourage the nurses that have blogs to continue and those who can write well, to start a blog . It is possible on allnurses (plug)! Excuse all of my smilies; I am just so happy for her career success and hope that she continues to receive more of the same. OP thank you for the post.

Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed the article.

Glad you liked the article.
