The Enriched Nursing Theory
A couple nurses are getting island fever on Kauai. It's 2010, the economy is still hurting after the Great Recession and these nurses are ready to quit their jobs and embark on an adventure. They plan an epic road trip across several states and a dozen National Parks with no jobs lined up after. Does it work out? Is the American Dream dead? I don't think so. Especially not for nurses. Unless they are stuck in a paradigm that says it is. Nurses can learn to live well now, work less, and rediscover their dream career. Often times the answer is closer than you think. The Enriched Nurse Theory can help.
