The Line Between Smart and a Know-It-All

By Cyndi V

 

Reaching for my hand, my patient looked at me desperately. She was working mightily to catch her breath, her eyes wide with fear, her short blonde hair plastered to her forehead with sweat. Her heart rate raced away on the monitor, climbing 196–205–222, with anything above 120 becoming concerning to us ER folks.

 

There wasn’t a lot of time before her heart would get fatigued and she would lose consciousness. Working quickly, the three of us already in the room, veteran ER nurses, did everything we knew to do in this case. The medication to reset her heart hadn’t worked. She was working too hard, and we knew the only option was going to be to shock her.

 

Our ER doc and the resident had left the room to check on someone next door as we set up. We had our patient on high-flow oxygen, the sticky pads that would deliver electricity placed on her chest and left side. We called out to the doctor, who came back in and said confidently for the benefit of his resident, “We ready to go?”

 

We were always ready.

From Startup to Standout: Funding Your Women-Owned Businesses

Working capital is the fuel that turns women-owned startups, small businesses, and sole proprietorships into standouts. Here are four funding tips for female entrepreneurs.

 

Overall, women-owned businesses account for nearly one-third of all businesses in the country. Of the nearly 10 million women-owned businesses in the U.S., a disproportionate 89 percent are sole proprietorships with no employees.  That compares to all U.S. businesses, of which only 75 percent are non-employer businesses.
