What's your mission?

I plan to blog for the remainder of the week regarding my observations from the Ohio Attorney General Administrative Law Seminar. This seminar and the underlying tones and messages from the seminar gave me something to think about driving from Columbus to Cincinnati this evening.

I have also decided that 2008 is the year for me to move forward with starting my non-profit; the focus of the non-profit will be nursing law and regulation, and assisting nurses with legal issues. I have wanted to do this for several years and I hesitated because I assumed that one day one or more of the many national or state nurses association would start to fill in the gaps in this area.  I am volunteering for job!!!! 

I love practicing law and will continue my law practice. However my goal in practicing law and consulting has always been to connect with individual nurses about the law, legalities, and legal issues in nursing. To a certain extent, I am able to accomplish some of this as a licensure defense attorney. This is my mission and I am passionate about representing, counseling, and advising nurses.  Just like a nurse, I know, always in rescue mode, don't remind me?

What do you think about the concept of a non-profit focusing on nursing regulation and legal issues?

I am also pleased to announce that next year, I will be presenting with Cross Country Education and conducting a 6 hour legal seminar for nurses. The seminar will begin in March 2008 in Illinois and Wisconsin. I want to reach out to more of us about the law, legalities, and legal issues in nursing and presenting with a national company provides me with this opportunity on a larger scale.

What's your mission? What are your professional goals for 2008?
