Thank you!

Hello. When I first started out in LTC. My goal was to become a DON. I absolutely loved it. When I reached that goal, I new I was meant to do more. I felt that there was missing link with DONs developing into their role. The nurse consultant that is essentially over the DON, is there as a consultant, not for education. There is a major lack of education for DONs and that is when I decided to leave the DON role along with the start of the pandemic which unfortunately just wore me out. I began my company of coaching and educating DONs on how to develop in their roles and I absolutely love it. I enjoy being that support person in their time of need such as covering off shifts so they don't have to, teaching them how to improve outcomes etc. I thought when I became a DON, that I would retire as a DON. Coaching and Consulting is such a need. I've been in LTC for going on 18 years now and can teach each position effectively and I this again will help support the DONs in an effort to allow them to grow into their careers.

@@bilquisali That's beautiful. One of the things I notice as an RN is the staff on the floor aren't receiving the continued education they need. It appears as if nursing has turned into a field for hustling a paycheck instead of what it used to be. Thank you for the insite on your current nursing practices.
