These questions and more are asked by nurses just like you as their lives are transformed by the challenges of ongoing change within the profession. Now, Annette Vallano, an experienced educator, consultant, psychotherapist, and career coach for nurses, answers your questions and offers new ways of envisioning your career.

If you are a new graduate, the encouraging advice of nurses who have come before you will help you get started on your own path to a gratifying career.
Packed with profiles of proactive and successful nurses, Your Career in Nursing uses a business model to help you define your personal company—“You, Inc.”—including how to develop a self-marketing plan, write a winning resume, research the needs of the health care marketplace, target your approach, and ace an interview. In addition, you will find indispensable information on managing stress and improving your work-life balance. Your Career in Nursing is required reading for the nurse who wants to turn challenges into opportunities and be on the winning side of the health care revolution.
