Nursing Uniforms
Are Nursing Uniforms Required - And Do Some Hospitals Provide Them for Nurses?Nursing Uniforms have been a hot ticket item as of late. With the recent surge within the nursing profession, uniform sales have also been on the rise. Nursing uniforms are a necessity for all nurses regardless of where they work, so you can imagine what kind of demand has been placed on these outfits in recent years. In addition to individuals buying nursing uniforms, hospitals are also buying these uniforms in bulk for many of their nurses.Not all hospitals take up this practice, but the ones that do order up to a hundred uniforms at once. Additionally, a nurse needs more than one nursing uniform. During the course of a day, nurses will get their uniforms dirty and soiled; sometimes to a point beyond repair. At that time, it is always good to have a backup in place. Most nurses have a uniform for every day of the week that they work.

A Career Built on Character - Part 1
"Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open." ~Elmer G. Letterman"The best job goes to the person who can get the job done without coming up with excuses or passing the buck" ~Napolean HillWhat About Politics?Political Astuteness is something that you may not learn in school; however, it plays a significant role in success in business."Man is by nature a political animal." ~AristotleTake Control It's important to keep in mind that you are responsible for your own career. Don't Expect the Human Resources Department to plan your career. In fact, don't expect anyone else to be concerned about it either.There have been times in my career when someone has taken an interest in my promotion; however, it has always been in their own best interests to do so. Remember, companies are in business primarily to make money.Dress for success There is a clear distinction between how a President, a Senior Vice-President, a Vice-President, and District Manager dress. You should dress just a cut above your current level.That we live in a time of relentless and pervasive change is no longer news to anyone. There is one important implication of this situation that continues to be a challenge. That is that our employees need to continually change their behavior to adapt to the world around them.

Finding Proactive Solutions: A Key to Demonstrating Your Management Fitness
In my book Talking Points: 25 Tips for Clear, Credible Communication, Tip #17 states: “Managers and professionals in positions of responsibility got there by finding solutions to problems. They didn’t rely on someone else to come up with the remedy. They worked to find solutions proactively.” Those of us in positions of responsibility can demonstrate our management fitness by looking for and adding a proactive step whenever we encounter potential problems. Adding that proactive step demonstrates our ability to take responsibility for the outcome of situations. Nothing speaks “management” more than this.Finding creative solutions to unusual and routine situations helps develop your management skills.In addition to taking that proactive step ourselves, part of our responsibility as managers is teaching our staff how to do this for themselves. Most of us in our careers have worked for a manager who tended to monitor every detail of our work. The result is we felt no empowerment to seek solutions on our own and to find methods of handling problems without that person’s involvement. The problem this sort of micro-monitoring

Shrinkage Control

If it has not been as good as it should have been, now is the time to analyze the possible causes and take steps to keep shrinkage in line this year.WHAT IS SHRINKAGE?The difference between the perpetual book inventory and the physical inventory count is called shrinkage.

Bullseye Interviewing
An interview is much like a blind date. You have sweaty palms, heart palpitations, shaky nerves and a preconceived notion of what could happen. The perfect scenario unfolds in your mind, where you are calm, cool and collected, dressed smartly, totally in control, enthusiastically meeting the other person’s gaze and brimming with confidence. However, that idea has begun to unravel, because as of right now, you are LATE, because you got lost, forgot your resume, wore a shirt that is making you sweat and have pulled a muscle breaking in new shoes. As you are being led to the boardroom, you’re informed that your possible Superiors will be sitting in. Panic sets in with the realization that this blind date is over before it even begun.What is needed therefore, is a realistic and proactive approach. If you’re a mere mortal like the rest of us, then you do get nervous about a job interview. If we could accurately predict the outcome of this situation, life would definitely be easier to plan. While we can’t accurately control the results, we can bank our odds if we keep the pointers below in mind.Basic Combat:Wardr

This is particularly true of the sales people, who must decide to change their behavior and to implement the best practices that I teach. Beyond that, ultimately, helping people change is the work of every executive, manager, consultant and trainer.
