Nurses have always been involved with in health care and health education of families in agencies and throughout the community in American history. It was not until more recent times starting in the early 1980s, that the nursing profession began to identify a specialty called Family Nursing or Family Health Care Nursing.

A Note From Paternity Leave
You've probably heard of "pregnancy brain" or "momnesia." You know that forgetfulness and loss of razor sharp thinking so many moms (especially academics) experience with pregnancy. Well today I invented a phrase called the "paternity leave brain".

Let's talk about unemployment
I'm unemployed. I know I'm not alone. Even though I have a doctorate and 20 years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I haven't been able to find a job in some time. Back when my mentor told me I had passed the doctoral examination, she said that I would have a permanent credential-one that no one could take away from me. She was right. I do have the credential. Now where is the job? My mentor couldn't possibly have foreseen the fact that I would be headed out into the market in the worst economic climate since the Great Depression.
