That is the question, my friends. I recall receiving this piece of advice in nursing school: “The secret to nursing is to never work overtime. Work 3 days a week and only 3 days a week.”
Unfortunately, this piece of advice was coming from my favorite nurse that i had worked with in clinicals, the one that never had a bad attitude, was a team player, and was down for whatever came his way. So what to believe??!

 Last week, Teresa Manquera (ANA\C Executive Administrative Assistant) and Erika Leanne Simangan (USF nursing student and ANA\C volunteer) attended the Kaiser Permanente 2018 Clinical Education, Practice and Informatics (CEPI's) Conference at the UC Davis Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing in Sacramento. ANA\C shared information with about 200 attendees on our advocacy work, upcoming ANA\C GA 2018 invitation and distributed educational materials on a variety of nursing certification from our ANA Enterprise partner, ANCC. We would like to thank our KP colleagues for inviting ANCC and ANA\C and we look forward to our continued professional cooperation.

Seven years of post-college education and interminable anesthesiology training had morphed into brutal 12-hour, in-house OB shifts, when she often gave more than a dozen epidurals.

State laws give nurses the legal authority to perform assessments, formulate nursing care plans, and administer medications, among other things.
