Thanks @biryani22 from @rasmussencollege for the mention in this article: http://www.rasmussen.edu/degrees/nursing/blog/want-to-be-rn-didnt-major-in-nursing/#.V6kiLwonvfY.twitter It's ok to realize later in life that you want to be a #nurse.

Gr8 article from @cheaplives My favorite tip is pick the right insurance policy. Many people pick #health #insurance just to have one and layer find out it does not cover the #doctors #medications or even the care they need for their chronic condition. Keep in mind that Information online can be incomplete or outdated, so call the doctor's office to make sure they’re still participating in the plans you’re considering.#smartconsumer #nursekatz #advocate

It may not always be luck that you were offered that "private room" in the hospital. Be sure you check your bill: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/10921112.html #advocate #nurse #nursekatz
