Inspired Nurse

Remember your first day as a nurse? You thought, What a privilege to do this work!

Rich Bluni, RN, is a national speaker and coach for Studer Group, but the title of which he is proudest is "Nurse." An RN since 1993, he chose the profession after seeing the tremendous impact nurses had on his father after he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. "I saw the great and small things nurses accomplished in their day and realized that there was no higher calling, for me, than to become a nurse," he says. Rich has worked in Adolescent Oncology, Pediatric ICU, and Trauma ICU departments as well as serving as a Pedi flight and transport nurse. A Licensed Healthcare Risk Manager, he has served as ED Nursing Manager and Director of Risk Management and Patient Safety.
