Two great women to follow and use as role models.

http://www.oprah.com/spirit/Maria-Shriver-Guest-Edits-O-Magazines-First-Poetry-Issue  I mentioned that I would be looking for Maria Shriver's interviews and connections with people who can be a tremendous boost and excellent role model as this group finds its footing and you are able to put your lives back together again.  In life it's important to keep in good company and Maria Shriver comes from a whole lineage of people who cared about others and worked hard to make the world a better place.  Maria follows in the footsteps of her mother who was gracious, kind and warm.  Those are the people we want to learn to emulate.

 Also Maya Angelou who writes wonderful poems full of the stuff of life that everyone has experienced along the way.  This quote is particulary apropos for the degredation and shame that nurses experience when they encounter problems with their licenses 'People will try to peck you to death like a duck but you're not in it.  My advice whenever others disgrace your name.'  http://myown.oprah.com/search/index.html?own_only=1&q=Mary%20Angelou  Mary's program on Sunday November 17 at 12pm may be available for viewing.  She is a very powerful and moving lady who can help those who need a way of expressing and relating their circumstances and feelings as she writes the most inspiring poetry.
The website I have put together for 'Nurses Transition Network' is called 'Organic products and services' and it is on weebly.com   It is a website where you can place your own products and services that you wish to sell to a global market through your own small business at no cost.  I will also invite larger companies to join so that you can easily access information if you are researching for a company to market with.  One that comes to mind right away is Natures Path which is organic and they have been actively engaged in keeping food healthy for us through opposition to GMO's.
As nurses we can promote those goods and products that are healthy for people and will help heal and sustain the environment.  Some of you will be creative and be able to do an array of things like fashion design etc and you will have the support and respect of a community of like minded people who are interested in your welfare and good reputation building.
Warm wishes and my very best intentions to create a platform where you can recover your dignity and build a stream of income to support yourself and those you love and are responsible to provide for.
Rita.
