Remember your first day as a nurse? You thought, What a privilege to do this work!
It's true. Few other professions afford the opportunity to impact lives on such a profound level, not only physically but emotionally and spiritually as well. Yet the same qualities that make nursing so deeply rewarding can also make it a challenge, over time, to sustain your energy and passion. Inspired Nurse helps us maintain and recapture those elusive qualities.
In this thought-provoking workbook, Rich Bluni, RN reminds nurses and all healthcare employees why we chose this profession. He provides a wealth of action-oriented "spiritual stretches" that help us more fully integrate the gifts of nursing- joy, wonder, gratitude, insight and grief - into our daily lives. Rich Bluni's personal stories illuminate those sacred moments we all experience. Inspired Nurse is a welcome validation that when we stay engaged and committed, we're more likely to provide extraordinary patient care in terms of both clinical outcomes and human compassion.
The author Rich Bluni, RN is a national speaker and coach for Studer Group, but the title of which he is proudest is "Nurse". An RN since 1993, he chose the profession after seeing the tremendous impact nurses had on his father after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
"I saw the great and small things nurses accomplished in their day and realized that there was no higher calling, for me, than to become a nurse," he says.
Rich has worked in Adolescent Oncology, Pediatric ICU and Trauma ICU departments as well as serving as a Pedi flight and transport nurse. A Licensed Health Care Risk Manager, he has served as ED Nursing Manager and Director of Risk Management and Patient Safety.
Rich and his wife, a nursing professor and former ED and Trauma nurse, live in Boynton Beach, Florida. His son Rhett is the greatest joy in his life. Today, he works to improve patient outcomes and encourage the spirits of nurses and all healthcare professionals who have answered the calling to serve others with their hands and hearts.

"Each tale is why we do the job, keep the job, and live the job."
~ Jessica Imming, OB Nurse Manager, Buena Vista Regional Medical Center
