"A career is a fluid process, not stagnant or simply a job. It is a process that must be nurtured -constantly grown and managed. Today, nursing professionals across the globe and at each stage in their career consistently ask how to navigate, grow, and expand their careers; change their career trajectories; and develop, hone, and promote their nursing identities. Nurses are focused on career-development and management areas that are far beyond writing a resumé or curriculum vitae. They are looking for career resources that apply to the many roles and challenges they face at all points and phases of their career. This book provides just that. Take Charge of Your Nursing Career, Second Edition, provides nurses with a unique and distinct perspective to develop and manage their careers from beginning to end. With timely and relevant topics, strategies, tips, and examples, author, Lois Sarah Marshall helps nurses define their personal career trajectory no matter what point they are in their journey"-- Provided by publisher.
