Writing a Resume With a Tempoary Nursing Licence

Writing a Resume With a Tempoary Nursing LicenceIf you are intending to earn a Nursing and Midwifery diploma, it is essential that you write a resume with a temporary nursing licence. If you want to get the most from your career, it is important that you put some effort in ensuring that you create an impressive resume.If you have ever worked in the NHS or the Healthcare industry, you will have probably seen many clinical nurse practitioners (CNP) working side by side with doctors. You will have also seen a number of CNP nurses working as midwives. Both roles have different responsibilities and sometimes can be very different.A CNP is called upon to perform many different roles and can be found at all levels of the medical profession. They work alongside doctors in various departments, though in many cases they are doing the same job. In some instances, they are called upon to offer patient care. However, not all of them have the ability to do this job alone.In hospitals, for example, there are clinical nurses who provide the care for both the patient and the doctor. In some cases, you will see these roles combined. A CNP will often be employed in a hospital setting alongside a registered nurse (RN). Sometimes a person who is new to the job will start off as a CNP, after which they are likely to move on to being a registered nurse.Midwife will be the position that is the subject of the majority of questions I am asked about the qualification I have. In certain hospital settings, however, midwives and CNPs will be required to work together. In order to carry out this function, they need to have the relevant qualifications.All midwives require the appropriate level of training. Of course, if you work for the NHS, you must be approved by your local authority. Then you can be allowed to work in hospitals. In this respect, a CNP should be able to attend and complete their midwifery education courses without difficulty.Many people are under the impression that a CNP m ust obtain the same level of accreditation as a registered nurse (RN) before they are permitted to be employed as a midwife. This is not true. As long as you have completed the correct level of training, you are well placed to study for the CNAC examination and become a certified midwife.

Could Crying at Work Get You What You Want

Could Crying at Work Get You What You Want We all know there’s no crying in baseball, but could getting emotional at work actually work to your advantage? Politicians have been known to get a little verklempt at times, to make them seem more human and relatable and less like robots (or maybe they were really sad). It could stand to reason that the workplace is an OK place to let down your emotional barriers from time to time. Right Time and Place A recent study published in Journal of Applied Psychology tested the outcomes of interactions between two different parties who were negotiating with different levels of power at play. What they found was that “if you are identified as powerless and in need of something, rather than being seen as powerful and not so dependent, the neutral negotiator will more than likely feel a sense of social responsibility to make concessions in your favor,” writes George Lorenzo at Fast Company. In layman’s terms, the weaker party in a negotiation can actually gain something by showing some sense of sadness. This comes with some particular caveats, however. The “sadness” expressed must be perceived as genuine, and the timing must be appropriate. You wouldn’t want to come into a job interview, for example, expressing a sad and emotional tone. That wouldn’t get you hired. If you’re in a negotiation that could lead to future interactions, or a shared benefit, also improve your chances at getting your way with a conciliatory tone. Showing Emotion Doesn’t Mean Bawling We’re not talking actually crying at work. If you have a minor setback, like some criticism of a creative project or a request for revisions on a report, bursting into tears isn’t an appropriate response. So, you shouldn’t grab the box of tissues every time your boss pulls you into their office. But just like in couples therapy, expressing how something makes you feel isn’t a bad thing. Think: “I’m frustrated that you’re not providing the most constructive feedback on this latest revision. It makes me feel like you’re disparaging the work my team has been putting out.” More From PayScale: 7 Things You Should NEVER Say to Co-Workers 5 TV Characters Who Could Never Hold a Job in Real Life 3 Things You Should Never Say at Work Tears Aren’t Gender-Neutral Women tend to cry more easily than men, and there’s a library’s worth of debate on the books about if you give away your power if you shed tears at work. Whether you think it’s a good idea or not, lots of top female business types think that women are judged differently when it comes to emotion. One female leader, Joanna Barsh, director emeritus at McKinsey and Company advises: “Gain self-awareness of your own patterns through reflection, seeing yourself without judgment, but with appreciation for your underlying needs or fears. Learn to pause, and in that moment, step outside of your own movie to view it.”

How To Deal With Being Out Of Work For The First Time - Work It Daily

How To Deal With Being Out Of Work For The First Time - Work It Daily I was walking to my Commencement Ceremony with two of my pals from college. It was a May morning wearing the disguise of a mid-August afternoon â€" uncomfortably humid and the sun was merciless. Related: 5 Things You Should Be Doing If You’re Unemployed On the way to campus, an older woman stopped us in our tracks. “Congratulations,” she began with a smile beaming at us like the hot sun “you guys should be so proud of yourselves.” Graduation is a big deal. It is the culmination of your career as a student and the beginning of the rest of your life. Taking that step is something worthy of congratulations, yet I didn’t feel like being congratulated. Maybe it was because all my classmates and I kept hearing about for weeks leading up to graduation was how hard it was going to be for us to find full-time work so we could pay off our loans so that we could finally begin our lives. Or maybe it was because we were about to be handed a ton of responsibility, the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Graduation is not to be a scary day, but it is quickly becoming one. For some, jobs were already lined up or maybe interviews were on the horizon. But, for many, the only certainty was that loans were going to start kicking in very soon. Finding a job in this day and age is a whole new animal compared to what it was like even five years ago. Most likely, you’re going to spend hours on your computer, scouring the likes of Indeed, Monster, and CareerBuilder. How do you go about getting an interview in this seemingly hopeless situation? Well, there are a few tips for those trying to sort through these murky waters. 1. Realize You're Not Alone The first thing one has to do is come to terms with the unfortunate truth that you are one of thousands of people looking for jobs on these sites and these people are just as desperate as you are, you need to find a way to get your resume in front of the right pair of eyes. 2. Do Your Research A less frustrating method of job hunting would be to research the space you want to find a job in and figure out what companies in this space are hiring. Find out who is running HR and send them your cover letter and CV directly. This will give your application a better chance of being noticed by the right person. 3. Don't Let Job Search Consume Your Life The most important thing about looking for a job is to not let it get to you. Make sure you are not letting your job hunt consume your life. Applying to jobs is a time consuming ordeal - every job has a specific application and you need to write a job-specific cover letter. As the saying goes, applying to jobs is a full-time job. Set aside a block of time each day to look for jobs, try not to go over that allotment. 4. Don't Let Unemployment Define You What you do away from looking for jobs is important. Do not let the fact you're out of work define you. When I see someone I know and they ask me what I’m doing with my life, I keep my answer succinct and say that I am deciding between a few things. 5. Learn From Your Experience At some point everybody is going to go through what you are going through â€" learn as much as you can from the experience. What you do while you are unemployed can be just as important as your next gig. 6. Stay Busy Keep busy â€" find odd jobs, or a temporary gig at a restaurant or store. This will give you more freedom than not having any income at all. If you can’t find work outside of looking for work â€" keep busy in other ways, if you can travel, do it. Try and visit college friends or family. You have time to work with, don’t let it go to waste â€" because when you do get that job there are going to be times where you’re going to wish you had seen more of the world while you had the time to do so. 7. Don't Get Intimidated Last but certainly not least, do not get intimidated by the dire times we are currently traversing through. It will get better and that dream offer you’ve been waiting for is going to come at some point. Be persistent, be flexible and the rest will come.
