Hi Every One!!!
This is an exciting day. After long last and "without further ado" our professional staff has successfully launched our blog spot to help those in real need with their "ISSUES" of life. We listen. We understand. We counsel. We suggest. We offer advice and we offer hope.
We help you to identify what's the real issue and to find some semblance in the matter so that you can resolve the situation in question.
Give us a try - tell us what is going on with your situation. What kind of issue are you having? Is it a financial one? a relationship issue? a family issue? a confidence issue? an addiction problem? a trust issue? too much stress? a health related concern?

Wow, what a great confidential service to provide.

Deletegood work...help is here...thank you all.
ReplyDeleteExcellent personal help is available thanks to this blog!
ReplyDeleteWow Congrats' My co-worker needs help with getting a divorce pro bono. She does not have a lot or any money. She also has 6 children. She wants to know how can she get a divorce when she does not know where her husband lives. She has not seen him in almost 9-10 years. She lives in Il.
ReplyDeleteThere are many ways and many free legal services, so don't have her fret. Or it's just as simple to do this on her own at first to get the ball rolling.
DeleteThe first step is to call the Illinois Free Legal Aid Service. If she is having trouble getting through (and she will!), go to
http://www.cookcountyclerkofcourt.org/?DDPage=3500§ion=DDPage.
All the information she needs to file for a divorce is there!!! She can get the actual papers on at the Daley Center. She should call before she goes down there.
Richard J. Daley Center
Address 50 West Washington Street
Room 802
Chicago , IL 60602
Chief Deputy Clerk
Kelly Smeltzer
Assistant Chief Deputy Clerk
Anne Smith
Hours 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, Excluding Court Holidays
Telephone Numbers (312) 603-6300
Fax (312) 603-6336
Thirdly, she can contact the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services - Division of Child Support Services at 32 W. Randolph, 10th and 16th floor, I believe?
To make it even simpler she should call 1-800-447-4278 or visit the website at
www.childsupportillinois.com
All of these above suggestions will get her started. Please let her know that it is a tedious process and will take a while, but if she has the right motivation and it's about the kids then she should get the process started. Warn her and tell her to have patience. Remind her that it has been quite awhile (9-10 years) since she has seen the father, so only God knows where he is at by now!!! Maybe she knows his last known address and they can start to track him down that way. Once she files the divorce papers they will want to send him a copy to his last known address. Also there are a number of 'people locator' services out there if she has the motivation to find him. Most cost some initial start up money though. Has she simply checked FB or LinkedIN or Twitter?
Good luck to her. I know this information will be helpful, but please tell her to keep her cool. These types of issues can be very stressful and frustrating. Have her approach this divorce maturely and with great civility. It's been 9 plus years since he left. She needs to get her divorce papers officially filed first and foremost in order to label her husband a Dead Beat Dad!!! The state likes track these kind of guys down and hold them accountable.
Good luck to her in her pursuit!!!

ReplyDeleteHello Good People,
ReplyDeleteI recently accepted a position as a case manager for parolees recently released from IDOC. I am in desperate need for ex-offender friendly resources for employment and stable housing. I have 60+ parolees in need of employment and housing. Many of these men are eager and motivated to make a change in their lives. Let’s give them a chance to become productive members of our society and help lower the crime rate at the same time. Give them an alternative to retuning to their old life style and offer them an opportunity of a new life for themselves and their family.
Hello Frank,
ReplyDeleteGod bless you for accepting the case manager position for parolees.I salute you in your efforts in playing a part to help these men and women change their lives.
There are a number of services that focus on Finding Employment and Housing Services for Ex-Offenders.
The list is long and cumbersome. This will be no easy task for you or your clients, especially now because of the way the economy is. It is hard to find a job for the non-ex-offenders as well!!!
However, staying positive, tenacious and focused in the search is the way to approach this daunting task. I have laid out a number of places and programs for you to begin your work.
First and foremost is;
1. The Safer Foundation. They have been in business with this single very task in mind for 40 years. They have been one of the most successful companies at providing resources and jobs for ex-offenders in the state of Illinois.
They are located at 571 Jackson (Jackson and Jeffries) in Chicago. Have you clients call; 312-922-2200 to make an appointment. The first appointment might take 2 to 3 hours and they will need to bring in as much paperwork as possible (ID's, Social Security cards etc.) I suggest you have your clients call them first and register. Tell them to be patient and professional.
Also;
2. The Mayor's WorkNet Chicago is committed to helping ex-offenders reenter the workforce. The WorkNet partners listed below have experience working with ex-offenders in programs that offer job readiness training and skill development alongside support services that promote self-sufficiency.

ReplyDeleteHello again Frank and everybody else to whom this may apply,
DeleteI did some further research and came across a 54 page Ex-offender handbook which very specifically relates to a number of services with ex-offenders specifically in mind. It is all inclusive and expounds on the many services that will aid the ex-offender re-enter society in the best possible and professional fashion.
Here's the link:
http://www.doc.state.nc.us/publications/DOL.Exoffender.Handbook.pdf
This handbook will HELP you tremendously as a professional and it will ultimately help your clients in the long run. It has tremendous amount of information, services and links to jobs, housing options, food, identifications, clothing, etc.
Thanks for bloggin'!!! Keep 'em coming!!!

Randy, I am looking for a decent place to critique my resume and make suggestions. When I submit my resume I get letters of rejection right away. It blows my mind, I am not sure why? Any ideas? Thanks for your time and help !
ReplyDeleteHello Tammy,
DeleteResumes, resumes, resumes!!! What a daunting task for most people. It seems to be an overwhelming assignement, especially when unemployed or unhappy with their current job! Am I right? I feel your pain. I understand.
HOWEVER, If you were to GOOGLE OR BING - "help with resumes", you would get over 6 Million hits!!! Ouch. Where does one start???!!! This approach only leaves one more overwhelmed, confused and stressed out. Am I right again? HOWEVER, WE NEED TO GET IT DONE NONETHELESS, RIGHT? First of all, don't get too discouraged that your current resume keeps getting rejected. If you watch or read any news on the ecomomy these days, you understand that JOBS are hard to find. Statistically, it takes about 11 months to find a job these days. And you need to apply to at least 50 jobs just to get one call-back, or a simply initial telephone interview, let alone a face-to-face interview.
However, we all want to create the best resume possible nonetheless. Now, if you want to spend 3 to 5 thousand dollars, there are several professional executive job hunting companies that can help you. These types of companies also provide many other services as well. They have beautiful packages to sell you and even go so far as to almost promise you that they will find you a job in a relatively short amount of time. BEWARE - it a'int ALWAYS AS GOOD AS IT SEEMS. But, if you want to spend that kind of money, try getting associated with EXCUTIVEJOBHUNTING.COM. They seem to be successful, but it may be cost prohibitive for you. I doubt that you, or many of my other readers want to spend that kind of money to get help with writing a resume. I suggest for you...
There are plenty of free resume writing services on-line or at your local unemployment office. As a matter of fact, most local unemployment offices hold resume writing workshops that you can attend for free. You can get some personalized attention there as well. For example, in Evanston, IL., there is resume help at a place called, - LIFT, 1932 Dewey 3rd floor of Faith Temple Church, 60201. Telephone #847-491-6707. I suggest that you call them. If that address is to far away for you to actually go there, then you should ask them if they know of any other resume writing service in your particular area. After that, if that doesn't work, then call your local unemployment office and ask them about their resume writing workshops.
DeleteNext. I know this website called, WorkSaveRetire.com. It is awesome if you are wiulling to do the work. You can go to that website and register with them. After you are accepted, you can participate in their bi-weekly resume writing teleconference webinars. They are extremely helpful. They also have resume templates for hundreds of different career positions and many different professional looking resume formats, fonts and over-all look, appearance and stucture. This way you can do it on your own with their guidance. If you call them, they are very courteous and friendly. They will even critique your resume for you and help you tweak it, if need be.
Anyway, I can go on and on on this topic, but please remember this. You will need several versions of your reume. WHEN YOU POST YOUR RESUME ON-LINE, YOUR RESUME MUST MATCH EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IMMEDIATELY OR IT WILL SIMPLY BE DISCARDED RIGHT AWAY. You have about 15 seconds to get there attention, so your resume must JUMP OFF THE PAGE right away so it doesn't get deleted or tossed out into the perverbial waste basket immediatley. It's not that your resume is no good, it's just because they get several thousands of resumes for the same one postion on a daily basis. Also remember this. Most companies that post an available postion to the general public on-line are required to do so by law. But they have no real intention of hiring somebody from the outside in the first place anyway!
There so many strategies on finding a real job offer. And NETWORKING with others is still the best and most effective way to find a job in this current job market. 60 to 80% of all jobs found are through personal or professional contacts. NETWORK NETWORK, NETWORK!!!
So good luck on getting your resume completed. Don't get frustrated by it. Be authentic. Stay true to yourself. And then let everybody you know, know that you are looking for a job.
Good luck, God bless, and let me know how your resume writing and job search is going.

Hi Randy
ReplyDeleteStill searching for the right opportunity.... Revamped my resume and passed my Wound Care Certification exam which leads me to another question you may be able to answer. Where do I get a legal document for informed consent for wound care treatment? I want to do some independent consulting while I am waiting for that right opportunity to arrive.
At this point it feels like I am a kid who is growing up and is at that odd pants size as it relates to my career. LOL I am not yet qualified for what I want to do and completely outgrown my current field of nursing and no longer feel challanged. I always feel I am doing "Good" for my patients and families, but I get bored when I am not challanged with new knowledge. Get my drift... I dont know maybe I am nutts LOL
Thanks for helping and listening.... hope things are going well for you and your children.
Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you again.
Let me answer the easy question first; the one about where you're looking for an informed consent form for wound care.
see PDF link below: It should suffice or you can make simple changes to it to fit your needs.
www.hmhd.org/.../Wound%20Care%20New%20Patient%20Pa
VIOLA - THERE IT IS - A PDF FILE FOR YOU TO USE.
Next Question...that one is a tougher and more introspect question. It's more philosophical and psychological...I like that...uhmm, when does one know that they are ready to move on? When does one know that they are ready for a change?
First of all, I have to congratulate you on passing the wound care exam and getting certified. That's a big deal and says a lot about the question you posed originally and no, I don't think that you are "crazed" in any way. First of all, give yourself some credit by God. You're a nurse for God's sake. That is a great accomplishment. Own that and make it real for yourself. You are accomplished.
However, I understand your confusion and I sympathize. I know that we all go through a transformative period in our life (sometimes way more than just one); wanting for a change, wanting for something better, wanting for something more exciting.
I get the sense that since you asked the question in the first place. and that you revamped you resume, and that you are applying for more and more jobs, and that you already passed your exam... THAT you have already made the subconscious decision to seek out a new opportunity and seek out a change.
I SAY BULLY FOR YOU - KEEP IT UP - AND GO FOR IT!!! Some people don't have the wherewithal, desire and drive to do that. YOU DO!!!
I say keep applying with you new improved resume and continue to NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK.
Continue what you are doing and don't second guess yourself too much. You're a smart woman with a good head on your shoulders.
Know this - God helps those who help themselves.
I can't wait to hear back from you after you land your next job!!!
I hope this helps. I know it will if you take it to heart. Keep the faith Nurse Tammy, keep the faith.
btw: Keep the blogs coming in and share my blog with your friends.

ReplyDeleteThanks Randy ....that is great advice! You are right I am seeking for something....seeking a change/challenge. I think part of it is that I had a life changing event lately....and it has caused me to realize I am not mortal and my time is not only limited but a blessing. Thanks for the advice and I will keep you posted.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be doing better! Good for you!

ReplyDelete“In the right key one can say anything. In the wrong key, nothing: the only delicate part is the establishment of the key.”
ReplyDelete—George Bernard Shaw
One of the best ways to become aware of the astonishing diversity of human reactions is to speak to a group of people. You can’t help noticing how differently people react to the same thing. You tell a motivational story, and one person will be transfixed, another bored to tears. You tell a joke, and one person howls while another doesn’t move a muscle. You’d think each person was listening in a different mental language.
The question is, why do people react so differently to identical messages? Why does one person see the glass as half-empty and another see it as half-full? Why does one person hear a message and feel energized, excited and motivated while another heads the exact same message and doesn’t respond at all?
Shaw’s quote is precisely right. If you address someone in the right key, you can do anything. If you address him/her in the wrong one, you can do nothing. The most inspiring message, the most insightful thought, the most intelligent critique, are absolutely meaningless unless they’re understood both intellectually and emotionally by the person to whom they’re being addressed. They’re major keys not just to personal power, but to many of the broader issues we must confront collectively. If you want to be a master communicator, in both business and in personal life, you have to know how to find the right key.
The path is through metaprograms. Metaprograms are the keys to the way a person processes information. They’re powerful internal patterns that help determine how he forms his internal representations and directs his behavior. Metaprograms are the internal programs (or sorts) we use in deciding what to pay attention to. We distort, delete, and generalize information because the conscious mind can only pay attention to so many pieces of information at any given time.
DeleteOur brain processes information much the way a computer does. It takes fantastic amounts of data and organizes them into a configuration that makes sense to that person. A computer can’t do anything without software, which provides the structure to perform specific tasks, Metaprograms operate much the same way in our brain. They provide the structure that governs what we pay attention to, how we make sense of our experiences, and the directions in which they can take us. They provide the basis on which we decide that something is interesting or dull, a potential blessing or a potential threat. To communicate with a computer, you have to understand its software. To communicate effectively with a person, you have to understand his metaprograms.
ReplyDeletePeople have patterns of behavior, and they have patterns by which they organize their experience to create those behaviors. Only through understanding those mental patterns can you expect to get your message across, whether it’s trying to get someone to buy a car or understand that you really love him/her. Even though the situations may vary, there is a consistent structure to how people understanding things and organize their thinking.
The first metaprogram involves moving toward something or moving away. All human behavior revolves around the urge to gain pleasure or avoid pain. You pull away from a lighted match in order to avoid the pain of burning your hand. You sit and watch a beautiful sunset because you get pleasure from the glorious celestial show as day glides into night.
The same is true of more ambiguous actions. One person may walk a mile to work because he enjoys the exercise. Another may walk because he has a terrible phobia about being in a car. One person may read Faulkner, Hemingway, or Fitzgerald because he enjoys their prose and insight. Another might read the same writers because he doesn’t want people to think of him as an uneducated dunce. He’s not so much seeking pleasure as avoiding pain; he’s moving away from something, not toward it.
As with the other metaprograms this process is not one of absolutes. Everyone moves toward some things and away from others. No one responds the same way to each and every stimulus, although everyone has a dominant mode, a strong tendency toward one program or another. Some people tend to be energetic, curious risk takers. They may feel most comfortable moving toward something that excites them. Others tend to be cautious, wary, and protective; they see the world as a more perilous place. They tend to take actions away from harmful or threatening things rather than toward exciting ones.
What does this information mean? Everything. The strategy you use should depends entirely upon the strategy of the person you’re dealing with. Use the wrong metaprograms with a person, and you might as well have stayed home. You’re trying to move him toward something, and all he wants is to find a good reason to back away.
But what if he moves towards things? What if he’s motivated by things that excite him, by moving towards things he finds appealing? If that’s how he responds, you’re not going to change his behavior by offering the exampling of something to move away from. You can nag until you’re blue in the face, but you’re talking in the wrong key. You’re talking Latin and the kid understands Greek. You’re wasting your time, and you’re wasting his. In fact, people who move toward are often angered of resentful of those who present things to be moved away from. You would motivate your child better by saying, “If you do this, you can pick and choose any college you want to.”
Hi Randy
ReplyDeleteI wonder what you would advise someone like me... I am a very eager and passionate person especially where education is concerned. When I interview for a job they often find me so eager and ambitious that they feel I am over qualified or that I will not stay. I get bored easily at my place of employment and end up paying out of pocket for my certifications. I then let the facility use my certifications and then feel unappreciated and then begin to have bad feelings towards them, I feel used.
Second, I am 41 at times I feel so ambitious that I want to run away and explore every part of the world. I want to experience new things, go to new places, visit foreign countries and do everything that I have waited so long to do but .....I know your saying great do them... but the youngest kids are 12. Still much to young for me to run off and live my life the way I want to. Is this normal at this age? I feel like I am suppose to be doing something else but I just cant figure out where I fit in.
My peers all say I am a awesome nurse and they look to me for advice. My areas of incompetence lead me to seek certifications. I dont like to feel uneducated.
I feel like I am one of your biggest supporter of this page. LOL Thanks Randy for your time.....
Remember I became a mom at 15 and have been a mom ever since ... a mom of 5. I have a 25 year old, a 19, year old, 15 year old, and twins 12.... I often wonder if this is a mid life crisis and wonder how to overcome this without tearing my family apart trying to feel fulfilled as well.
ReplyDeleteDear RN4GOD,
ReplyDeleteI feel your angst (A feeling of anxiety or dread, typically an unfocused one about the human condition or the state of the world in general. A feeling of persistent worry about something.)
Just to let you know, whether this helps you or not, I know you are an awesome nurse and, yes, you are probably right when you say that you are under-appreciated at your job. Unfortunately, many employees feel the same way! It's too common of an occurrence these days and the sign of the times.
I also feel your disappointment and your feeling of being dissatisfied and discontent and your current job. Unfortunately 70% of Americans are discontent at their current positions. You are not alone!
The question then becomes - what am I going to do about it? We will get back to that in a minute.
The other serious issues that you are confounding into your day-to-day current feeling has to do with your motherhood and your age. You became a mother at age 15 years old and your are now 40 something with 5 children.
When things get tough in our daily life we tend to "pile-on" the other unresolved issues in our life. We tend to "bundle" all of our "stuff" which seems to make matters worse, which just exacerbates our current issue.
Let's try to tackle one issue at a time. Let's try to make a solution-driven plan to get some clarity on each issue separately and thereby develop a problem-solving plan for each issue and hopefully resolve each issue separately, one issue at a time.
This method is very helpful because if we just take one defined issue at a time, each issue becomes much more manageable. (continued on the next blog)
I know you are great mother as well as a great nurse. You can never ever ever in a million years get enough credit for that!!! You are doing two of the hardest jobs in the world on a daily basis. WOW! You should be rewarded and you should be put on a pedestal. You need more recognition. The reality is that you are not going to get it from outside sources unfortunately. This is an INSIDE job. You need to own it. You need to realize the great job you are doing each and every day. You need to realize that there are not many people who can do what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteYOU NEED TO REWARD YOURSELF!!! THIS IS AN INSIDE JOB!!!
When you start to truly own and respect all of your GOOD qualities genuinely, others will notice...God notices, right? I know you are a spiritual person, so I thought I would throw that in there and remind you that God is watching, God notices, and God approves, right?
You are a mother and you are a nurse. And you are still young, passionate, vibrant, eager, beautiful inside and out!
ReplyDeleteWhen's the last time you spoke to your Pastor alone at your church? When's the last time you took some "Me Time?" When's the last time you said "No." When's the last time you told your kids or your husband that you are tired and you need a break? When's the last time you took a bubble bath? When's the last time you went to a music concert or listened to some good live music? (That always helps me!). When's the last time you hired a baby-sitter and went on a date with your husband, or even better yet, went on a weekend getaway? When's the last time, you even thought about what it would be like to have some real relaxing fun given your current situation? A quick break, a day off to spoil yourself, some time to rekindle your relationship - that will all help you to refocus and rejuvenate yourself.
Stay passionate, stay eager, stay educated - that helps you be YOU. You are the most important person and you need to own it and let the others know that you are ALL THAT!
40 is the new 30. Be exciting, be confident, be grateful, be young, be educated, be sexy, be proud. You are building and molding 5 lives including your own. That's amazing to say the least. You are in charge - mom. You are in charge - Nurse (Get it - Charge Nurse...lol) You are in charge woman! So take charge and be in charge of your self first!!! The others will follow.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for writing in.

ReplyDeleteAnd last but not least RN4GOD - BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE, but remember you are not God. You can.t be everything for everybody. You are perfect just the way you are. Go to work - put in your 8 hours. Help others who need your expert advise and care. Feel fulfilled about that. Go home and be a Mom, but teach your children independence. Prioritize the issues at the house. Pick and choose wisely which problems they need your help with and which don't, but remember - don't try to fix every problem. Walk around the house, don't run around with your head cut off. Your house is your castle. Keep it calm. When you are done for the day, you are done for the day - that's it, that's all. Let your children know that. Some days are better than others. You can't fix everything and every problem, every single day. Prioritize your input and say NO when you've had enough for the day. When you do that, you will start to feel much better, more in control, more fulfilled, less stressed, and more at peace. "Fulfillment" is in the eye of the beholder.
