Now That You’ve Mastered the ACLS Study Guide and the PALS Study Guide, Check Out This Book!

You’ve done the work to advance your career: you’ve mastered the ACLS study guide and/or aced the PALS study guide, and now you’re ready to transition into a new healthcare career built on your success. Where to start?

Be Your Own Career Coach

A great first step would be to check out Talane Miedaner’s practical guide, Coach Yourself to a New Career: 7 Steps to Reinventing Your Professional Life (McGraw-Hill, 2010).

Miedaner, who makes her living as a life coach and author, suggests seven steps to help you transition from your current situation into a new professional opportunity. For example, one chapter is devoted to identifying your personal requirements, after which you’ll be in a better position to “design your ideal life.”

Although this may sound a bit “out there,” in reality it makes sense. For example, if you identify the fact that travel is your passion, or you dread doing the same job day in and day out, becoming a traveling nurse might be the perfect career path for you.

Getting from Here to There

Another chapter focuses on “putting it all together,” with practical guidelines on how to create your career profile and life plan. Anyone who’s gone through this sort of career transitioning knows that the real challenge, once you’ve identified your goals, is getting from here to there. In other words, you have a goal – now what tactics will you use to achieve it?

In part, by putting in the effort you have to master the ACLS study guide and/or PALS study guide, you’ve already proven to yourself that you’re willing to invest in your career success; Miedaner will help you take your success to the next level with both a realistic plan and practical action items.

Touchy-feely? Yep, a bit. But overall, Coach Yourself to a New Career provides actionable advice to help you keep moving forward in the career direction that suits you, rather than in a career direction dictated by circumstances. And after all, isn’t that why you’ve worked so hard to ace these great career-boosting courses?

Coach Yourself to a New Career: 7 Steps to Reinventing Your Professional Life, Talane Miedaner, McGraw-Hill, 2010. 240p. ISBN 0071703098.
