Diana Kerekes starts to make a dream a reality

My name is Diana Kerekes. I have been a "burnt out " nurse for over 26 yrs. I have wanted to start a home based business and work from home w for many years.I couldn't find the one I wanted to do to replace my nursing career.I knew I needed to do something but what... What would I be good at . All I knew was nursing. I took a long look at where my life was going.  I decided after seeing my patients and how their lives turned out I knew the time was NOW. I said to myself that "life is too short" and I had to do this now. Timing is everything.

So what did I do to get to where I want to go. I examined my surrounds and did a full examination of what my options were. Either I sat by and let things happen to me or I take a stand. I chose to do just that ..take a stand to improve my quality of life by helping others.I needed to take action. I knew that if I didn't change something now and lay down the foundation it would be too late.

With the help of my mentors and family I soon became the person I wanted to be. I wanted to be a leader, a woman who can have a tough business side with the soft side of helping others. I choose to make a difference. I choose to take my passions and dreams and started a fire that no one could smolder. I decided this was my chance in life to grab a hold of the riches life had to offer while making sure I did not forget my roots and were I came from and where I want to be.

Why Diana Kerekes became a Nurse

I have been a nurse for 26 yrs. Why did I become a nurse ? I decided to became a nurse since I was 6 yrs old .I saw a series on the the TV called Julia.I was awed by her. She portrayed a woman who had class . Dianne Carroll is best known for her title role in the 1968 show Julia in 1968.She was a nurse I truly admired her role and character.She was a great nurse. I respect how she portrayed a real nurse.

I can honestly say that she was a pioneer for how nurses should be seen . The problem with her wholesome ways was that it was short lived. We now have nurses portrayed as for a lack of a better word "ladies of the evening " to be politically correct but not morally correct.What an atrocity to the nursing profession.

How dare they show nurses as nothing more then common hookers ?  We are a respected profession that saves lives. We are there when patients are critically ill when they are dying and when they are struggling to survive. We are there when patients are born and when they die. I will continue to fight for the respect and dignity I deserve as a nurse who has been there for my patients to help on what ever journey destiny had determined for them.

As a seasoned nurse I have seen how the nursing profession has changed. From the time nurses would stand when a doctor came to the floor or unit until the time that nurses were recognized for the important contribution they gave to the medical team. Nurse are crucial in the well being of the patient. Their jobs should not be taken so lightly.
