 ‘Nurses, Jobs and Money – A Guide on Advancing Your Nursing Career and Salary’ by Signal Mountain’s resident Carmen Kosicek, RN, MSN, is available in paperback or e-book versions at your local or big chain bookstore and online at www.Amazon.com .

Nurses, Jobs and Money’ offers a sobering portrait of the nursing industry—and what nurses can do to advance their nursing career and salary in today’s environment.  Filled with proven techniques and real-life case studies, this book shows those in nursing exactly how to plan their career for optimal income and success.

Contemporary, passionate and thought provoking, Carmen challenges nurses and nursing students with support, encouragement and guidance to reach beyond their envisioned expectations.

She guides them, with step-by-step techniques on how they can position themselves in the nursing field for continued career growth and success. Carmen explicitly presents a 21st Century proactive approach affording nurses the opportunity to protect their coveted RN license within today's vicious litigious arena--above and beyond traditional malpractice coverage.

Carmen Kosicek has an extensive academic and professional background--in the fields of nursing and healthcare. 

Her educational background spans an Associate of Applied Science in Nuclear Medicine from Triton College in River Grove, IL; Bachelor of Science in Nursing from St. Joseph College of Nursing at the University of St. Francis in Joliet, IL; a Master of Science in Nursing with a 4.0 GPA from the globally-recognized leader in nursing education, The Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH; and a postgraduate certificate as an Advanced Practice Nurse in nurse-midwifery at one of the top 15 nurse-midwifery and nurse practitioner programs in the country, Frontier University in Hyden, Ky. Additional studies in healthcare economics and disease management led Carmen to a certificate from the Certified Medical Representative Institute in Richmond, Va.

Ms. Kosicek also has gained a wide array of practical, firsthand experience in nursing and business. Many of her inspirational insights come from the broad and strong knowledge base she built throughout her healthcare career.

Her healthcare career has spanned clinical positions in nuclear medicine, labor and delivery BSN-RN in women’s health, OB Nurse Manager, and an Advanced Practice Nurse-Midwife.  Carmen's healthcare experience expanded in the arenas of maximum security prison nursing, hospice nursing and community health nursing.

The business world pulled her into healthcare sales for eight years  with the once world's largest pharmaceutical company.  She has been a collegiate nursing adjunct professor in both the ADN and BSN programs  for eight years. In July of 2012, she became a director of development for nursing and health professions at one of the largest post-secondary education companies in North America.

Carmen is the mother of two teenagers, Mikayla and Blake, and the wife of Mike Kosicek.

Nurses, Jobs and Money’ is her first book--it's a must-read for every nurse and everyone who is one and/or wants to become one!
