We're all able to learn new knowledge, skills and attitudes, new ways of doing things, even new tricks...
At the end of 2012 I planned to add writing and workshop information to this page quite soon, but what tripped me up in that plan is something you need to know about...
You may have found yourself here after reading 'I found myself in nursing...', a viewpoint published in the June issue of Kai Tiaki Nursing New Zealand.... and you're perhaps looking for my 1994 paper Careers and other commitments: some comments on wholeness.
That exactly 20 years had passed since writing the careers paper gave me a small surprise. Finding that there is nothing in it I'd wish to change raised the question of whether I should have moved on. But I have journeyed in that time through many interesting and worthwhile projects with nurses and other health professionals, and hold even more dearly to values of professional growth, adaptability and caring. These things are not possible without continued learning.
For the record, my first upload late 2012 was a sort of blog (about peer review) related to the last article (talking about safe practice) in a series of six learning activities, Reading, Reflection, and application in Reality (RRR), published in Nursing Review in 2012.
Thank you
