Have you ever felt that you had perfect balance between life and your nursing career? Everything seems to go in the right direction. You are all for all. o What is balance between life and work? It is a fullfillment between your life and your nursing career. The full time work week is around 36 hours per week. More and more organizations are offering flexible working options. However many nurses are working longer and longer hours. Many have stressful nursing careers.
How can you have a balance between your career and life? Here are 3 actions that you can use right now to gain balance in your nursing career and your life:
1. Look at your life. Are you where you want to be? Are you spending time with friends and family? Is there a hobby that you do? What do you do for fun? Write down what you do in one week. Look at what areas need to change or not. This will give you a great outline of what, when, where, and who you spend your time.
2. Learn and utilize the skill of delegation. Is yur life full of tasks that someone else could do? Is your plate full? Even delegating a few tasks can give you more time to do what you want. Decide on what you want to delegate out. Be specific on what you want done. Then let go of that task that you have decided on. Most important always give gratitude to the person that has completed the task.
3. Take care of yourself. Develop and maintain interests that aren't related to your job. Spend time with friends and family. Schedule in time every week for yourself. Even if it is an hour a week. Get adequate sleep. This helps to regenerate your energy and your mind.
Are you living a balance life? Do you take time to relax and enjoy life? Or are you on a sprint race? Going in circles? Are you ready to take action to a balance life and nursing career?

This is a little off-topic, but last week, I was asked what profession I thought a colleague"s teenager should begin preparing for in order to be successful. My friend was looking for a technology or two in information management. However, I found myself going off in a variety of directions, even though I am not so afflicted as to have teenagers yet. I"ll try to recreate, and reduce, my diatribe here... 
Baby boomers. They're the generation born between 1946 and 1964. They came of age in the early 70s and early 80s. They're the generation that made changes and waves, worked harder and longer, put off marriage and children, did things differently than previous generations.

What is your driving force? What keeps you going everyday? Is it your job, your family, or your livelihood? When I write about motivation I am writing about what the driving force is behind keeping you moving in the direction you need to go each day. This applies to everyone no matter if you are self-employed, or a salesman, a home-based worker, a wife, author, or husband; motivation is required to keep us in the frame of mind we need to be in order to be successful at what we are trying to achieve. 
Sometime we are in a conventional way that we need to follow the pattern that others do. We went to schools, get a degree and look for a job. We have a family and then sometime in the future we have financial, health, relationship problems like other people do. Do we need to be like that? You know that we don't have to be that. Then why we choose to be that way. This is because follow the norm is easier not to resist it. People want some certainty by referring to others' present status. Transient stability is sometime better than life-long engagement.

That being said, there are things one can do to make the transition from unemployed to office superstar faster and less frustrating. The number one thing that alleviates job-finding anxiety is preparation. It cannot be stressed enough. Proper preparation includes researching the best job sites for one's industry, having an updated resume always available, and even knowing what to wear. 
Leadership is an often misunderstood term and so many would-be leaders are put off accepting their role as a leader because of the stereotype image they hold in their minds of who a leader is. Let's explore leadership past that stereotype and discover Are you a Leader? 
The U.S. Job Market is Strong
Employers are looking for workers who have that special something: the skills, tendencies and attributes that help to keep productivity—and
Career services are often overlooked by students, but they actually offer some of the most important services at your university, and generally, the service is absolutely free. Why do they get so little attention? Some students don't know about them while others believe that they can only help if you haven't chosen a major. In fact, they can be your greatest tool for success. 
If you've look at any literature on leadership, you'll certainly have come across the statement -- Leaders are made. You have almost certainly come across the term "born leader" as used in common speech. Both are equally wrong and misleading in ways that have practical implications, particularly for leadership development. 
Single? You"re not alone. More than a quarter of American adults are living in a "nonfamily household," according to the US Census Bureau. This can be loosely translated as no spouse, no kids, further translated in the workplace to mean: You have all the free time in the world to do extra work. Whether it"s "voluntary" overtime or the business trip far from home, many bosses find it easier to ask their single employees to pick up the slack-they figure with no families to go home to, you won"t mind a few extra hours at the office. But is that really fair? We looked into this practice and show how you can stop your single status from hurting your work and home life.
