Do you have your nursing degree and are ready to take the medical industry by storm? Are you an experienced nurse looking for an exciting new challenge? Regardless of the level of your nursing experience, looking for a new job can be a time-consuming and frequently frustrating process. A big part of the job search process is knowing where to look for nursing positions.

Television and movies, like history, can provide us with insights on leadership - both good and bad. The mob boss as a leader is not new. It has been explored in both movies and on television going back to the early days of both forms of entertainment. The latest television mob boss will soon be gone. Left to the world of reruns and DVDs. What was Tony Soprano taught us about leadership? Is he a leader to be emulated or to be avoided? In spite of the profession (crime), I say that many but not all of Tony’s traits are those of an effective leader regardless of the profession or field.

Before relocating to a foreign country or culture, it is customary for the professional or executive to go through some orientation to learn how to behave and what to expect (i.e., the dos and don’ts of survival). For this purpose, many organizations employ the Power Distance Index (PDI) developed by Geert Hofstede (1991) as one of the five factors to measure the hierarchical relationships between subordinates and leaders such as respect for authority, in different cultures (i.e., countries). It would be helpful if a public database exists with objective cultural ratings of organizations (i.e., public, private, government agencies, universities, etc.) similar to the PDIs. In selecting a place of employment, the potential employee could use the PDI rating. The employer could also use it to retain current employees and as a recruitment tool.
