In recognition of National Nurses Week, Aureus Medical Group (web: aureusmedical.com), a nationwide leader in healthcare staffing, offers career insight and resume tips for travel nursing professionals. National Nurses Week is celebrated annually, May 6-12.
When it comes to the search for the ideal travel nursing jobs, even the most skilled and experienced travel nurses have their work cut out for them in today’s economy. Following are some guidelines for travel RNs to follow to ensure their resumes pack a punch and remain at the top of the pile of potential travel nursing candidates.
Don’t overlook the small details: For travel nurses, available vacancies are typically either posted directly by employers or positions are advertised through a travel nursing agency. If the job posting includes the name of the individual who is handling the hiring for the position, address the specific person rather than use a generic “Dear Sir or Madam. Small things such as this can demonstrate attention to detail, something many nursing managers look for in applicants.
Be honest about skills: Routinely applying for jobs without the qualifications to back it up may not only waste a recruiters time, it may send a negative message about following instructions. Be honest and stick to applying for assignments that match skills and seniority.
Network like its a job: Networking and maintaining an extensive list of contacts is one of the most frequently overlooked ways for travel nurses to find new opportunities and land assignments. Even if a former manager isnt able to directly connect a travel nurse with a new position, a solid reference is almost as good. When on the job, be as friendly and polite to coworkers and managers as with patients.
Maintain a strong digital presence: Networking the old-fashioned way is certainly valuable to travel nurses looking for new assignments, but dont neglect the online persona. Professional networking sites such as LinkedIn are veritable gold mines of new opportunities for travel nursing jobs. The more current the profile, including new skills and responsibilities following each completed assignment, the better. Many recruiters use LinkedIn extensively to identify hot new travel nursing prospects. Be sure to reach out to current and former coworkers, managers, and administrative professionals and add as contacts. They may be able to help with landing the next assignment.
Be confident: Above all else, skilled healthcare professionals are in demand. Nurses have never been in greater demand and those who can get the job done will always be a valuable commodity in any hospital, health center or private clinic.

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) June 18, 2013
Today leading online executive education company, Gazelles Growth Institute, announced the launch of a new seminar based off of renowned social psychologist Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson’s book Focus: Use Different Ways of Seeing the World for Success and Influence, recently ranked as the third bestseller among motivational management and leadership books on Amazon. The seminar is GGI’s latest offering in a line of market-driven educational platforms designed to help fast-growing firms maintain business growth.
Focus is an engaging, highly practical guide that makes complex ideas at the forefront of motivational science accessible to a wide audience, offering surprising insights and applications for dealing more effectively with everyday work and life challenges, wrote Walter Mischel, past President of the Association for Psychological Science, in an editorial review. It will be an eye-opener for people who thought they understood motivation.
Utilizing her expertise in social psychology and the science of motivation, Dr. Halvorson has identified key motivational strategies that can transform a work team’s coalescence and productivity. To this end, she divides workplace personalities into two main categories: people who are intent on playing to win (great at taking risks, seizing opportunities and innovating) but weak at managing the details of projects or developing a Plan B; and those who are thorough, accurate and careful (unfailing when it comes to meeting responsibilities) but less comfortable with taking chances that might lead to growth and innovation.
According to Dr. Halvorson, the first group has a promotion focus, while the second group has a prevention focus Understanding personal tendencies toward one category will lead to better understanding, decision-making skills, and outcomes at both work and home. Operating on this premise, she will teach seminar participants how to:
Identify their own core focus
Find out why its so hard to be good with both big ideas and with the details
Discover techniques for putting their core focus to work for themselves
Pick up vital strategies for influencing others by understanding their primary orientation
“Motivation isn’t one-size-fits-all. The assignments, incentives, and kinds of feedback that bring out the best in some people will undermine the effectiveness of others, Dr. Halvorson said. In my seminar, you’ll learn how to lead with motivational focus in mind, to fulfill your team members’ true potential. And you’ll learn how to work with your own focus to maximize your effectiveness as well.
I am thrilled to be able to contribute to the extraordinary educational opportunities the Growth Institute offers, she added. To be at the top of our game, we need to always be learning and honing our skills. At the Growth Institute, your development is in the best possible hands.”
Two purchasing options are available for Focus: Use Different Ways of Seeing the World for Success and Influence: An individual license (which gives one email address owner access to the webcast and unlimited viewings of it in GGI’s archives) can be purchased for $ 99. A company license (which gives unlimited employees from the same company with the same email domain name access to webcast and unlimited viewings of it in GGI’s archive) can be purchased for $ 495.
