Few professionals have a greater impact on our lives than nurses. We often do not realize just how important a nurse is until we need the care that only a nurse can provide.  Never have so many people needed nurses as now. The current global shortage of nurses is so critical that Hospitals, Universities, Human Resource firms and Government bodies around the world have joined in efforts to solve the global nurse shortage.

In my role as a business executive, I encounter many great ideas and observe both efficiencies and inefficiencies in business operations.  Based upon my work within the healthcare industry, it is painfully clear that nurses are in crisis.  Today, the nurse profession is hemorrhaging nurses.  I believe that a paradigm shift must occur in how nurses and nursing are viewed if we are to stave off a deepening healthcare crisis.

To this end, I have been speaking to individuals and groups alike in the United States and Canada on the need for a revolution within nursing. I'm calling it Nurse Profession 2.0. In my book,"Solving the Global Nurse Shortage: Social Media & The Cultural Transformation of Nursing," I lay the groundwork for orchestrating a nursing revolution. The Nurse Company is the leading aggregator of solutions for solving the global nurse shortage. As one of our solutions, we have introduced www.mynursebook.com as the first online collaborative social network with the specific intent to aggregate those who desire to solve the global nurse shortage. An example of the power of this community is the growth of the blogosphere in mynursebook.com where we post weekly blogs regarding the nurse profession.

It is my honor to present The Nurse Company as the leader in navigating emerging trends that influence the state of nursing. The Nurse Company is a collaborative effort of seasoned executives who have years of experience as leading experts in professional management and software technology. Their contributions to the modern era of digital technology include the founding of prominent businesses and the advancement of innovative applications. Through information sharing by the groups that collectively comprise The Nurse Company, great strides are being made to solve the global nurse shortage.

The Nurse Company's roster of trusted experts provides to nurse stakeholders the resources to partner with the world's leading experts in social media, trends and other leading edge innovations to thereby map out an attainable path towards nursing excellence. At no other time have all of the tools, technologies, research, and expertise been assembled under one convenient umbrella for your ease of access as it is now with The Nurse Company.

The Nurse Company has a simple, yet distinctive mission statement: Solving the Global Nurse Shortage One Nurse at a Time.  We invite you to join us in this endeavor to resolve this serious healthcare issue.  Please join us as we help solve the global nurse shortage.

Sincerely,

Shawn D. Mathis, M.A.
