The Nursefriendly
Nationwide Directory provides links to information
about the nursing shortage and associated nurse burnout.
The site links to articles on the nursing shortage
by governmental departments, nurse burnout around the
world, the effects of culture on nursing values and
job-related burnout.
Resources on the nursing shortage include links to
local news about the shortage and lists of activities
undertaken by individual state boards of nursing. These
topics can be viewed by state.
Just for men
Male
Nurse Magazine, published by Jerry Lucas, RN, explores
why males make up only 6 percent of nurses and how men
in nursing can help to alleviate the nursing shortage.
The site offers online surveys, employment openings,
Internet learning and a forum for male nurses to suggest
what they want covered by the publication. The magazine
also looks at institutions of higher education and ranks
them according to the number of men they have had in
their programs, and shares the experiences of men who
have attended those programs.
The Male Nurse Magazine Internet radio talk show can
be heard at NurseDaily.
Travel nurses
Travel
Nurse Times is owned and operated by Wendy Bisaillon,
RN. Bisaillon found a lack of information about travel
nursing online and decided to remedy this by pulling
together information and links to other travel sites
into one location. The site is nonprofit and not affiliated
with any travel agencies or hospitals. The site compiles
nurses' reviews of housing in different areas, provides
feedback about the working atmosphere in different health
care corporations as well as their opinion about the
travel companies they have worked for.
For online interaction with fellow nurses, participate
in its 24/7 "Traveler Chat" live chat room.
Nightingale tribute
Country
Joe McDonald's Tribute to Florence Nightingale presents
Nightingale's lifestory through a timeline. One of the
most unique aspects of the site is a phonograph recording
of Nightingale's voice that can be played on the computer
with Real Player.
Also, nurses planning a visit to England might want
to click on links to the Florence Nightingale Museum
Web site for a preview on what to expect.
See the world
If you have ever had the desire to travel as a nurse
and volunteer in another country, Nurses.info
provides the links to help make this happen.
Select information and applications to volunteer for
the Peace Corps, Christian Abroad and the Catholic Network
of Volunteer Service.
One of the more unique programs available is a midwifery
internship called "The Russian Birth Project,"

in Russia and practice midwifery in a variety of settings
for three-month periods.
