    Personal Quote Live your life with passion, and make the most of every day.
    About Me I'm the CEO and President of CJ Ventures, Inc., which includes Medical Mingle, Absolutely Health Care, and Rehab Options USA, Med Options USA, and Nurse Options USA. I'm married to my high school sweetheart Robin for 28 years, have two terrific kids, Cary and Jessica, and we have a small zoo in our home, with 2 Huskies (our third recently passed away), and 3 cats. We live on a lake in Lake Worth, FL, which is in Palm Beach County.
    Music Love Smooth Jazz, Classic Rock, R & B, and Popular Music.
    Movies I like action movies and comedies.
    Likes I love to travel, exercise, attend sporting events, comedy, and the theatre.
    Dislikes The opera and the ballet, which I need to go to from time to time to make my wife happy.
    Hobbies I consider our company as both my job and a major hobby. During the workday, I work to generate business and help our customers. During down time, I often spend time to think and come up with innovative ways to improve our business, products, and services. It is a joyful task that never ends. My newest hobby is Medical Mingle, which has been a lot of fun to meet and interact with our members.
    Smoke No
    Drink Yes
    Virtues Hard working, loyal, caring, and generous. I love doing nice things for other people.
    Heroes I can think of a few, but one is Alonzo Mourning with the Miami Heat, who has overcome serious illness, and plays basketball with the type of tremendous passion that I have for my job and for our company. He is also a fine person that does for others through Alonzo Mourning Charities.
    My Profession President & CEO - MedicalMingle.com
    A Bit About My Job I'm the leader of a team that has created a unique set of recruitment tools for the health care and medical field, and have packaged them in a way that no one else has. The buck stops here in trying to keep over 1,000 client companies happy in an industry, where there are endless openings, and not enough talent to fill them. This makes for an interesting job, as no matter how hard we try, it's virtually impossible to keep everyone happy all the time. However, we try to do our best, and just keep on working at improving at all times. We've helped hundreds of thousands of job seekers over the years, so it's rewarding to know that we've helped a tremendous number of people.

    My company, Mitchell Martin Inc. in NYC, is sponsoring a free 3 hour training for practicing clinicians who are licensed Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses or Nurse Practitioners. This seminar is intended to “ease the fear and anxiety” that medical staff may experience when encountering a patient who is non-verbal and developmentally or physically disabled. We've found that most nursing professionals have little or no clinical training in communicating with non-verbal patients in a medical setting, whether it be in a hospital, skilled nursing facility, or hospice facility. Participants will view a slide show which shows the horrific treatment adults and children received at Willowbrook in Staten Island before it was closed down by the State. Attendees will include FNPs, RNs and LPNs who feel there is a need for education in the field of caring for people with disabilities and mental retardation. It is an opportunity to resolve the fears and anxiety among nursing professionals who may reject an opportunity to care for, or to work with, wheelchair-bound patients with MRDD because of their minimal, or lack of knowledge, in communicating with patients or understanding their special needs.

    We invite nursing professionals from the NY Metro area to participate in this round table meeting and personally meet individuals with DD and witness the minds of these brilliant individuals who are just trapped in a body that doesn’t function but their brains are just amazing! Witness how these talented, yet non-verbal, individuals communicate through drawings and artwork.

    Email mromano@hcmmi.com or call 646-723-7308 to register for an upcoming training in Novemeber 2008 through January 2009. Training is limited to nursing professionals licensed in the states of NY, NJ and CT. Registrants who complete this training will receive a Certificate of Completion in “Caring For Patients With Cerebral Palsy and Mental Retardation."


    Thanks!

    Looking for any psych nurses out there that want to share innovations in the treatment of our unique group of patients. Also looking for a place to practice since I was just let go by my last employer.

    Need to strongly advise anyone out there from taking a position with any Behavioral Centers of America facility. They currently have hospitals in Ohio, Texas, and Michigan and are looking to add more in the next year. I have witnessed some things during thelast six months that caused me to lose m job and want to male sure that nobody else walks into this ticking time bomb. It is only a matter of time before they get caught and may end up in some serious trouble. Please pass this along to anyone else that you know... Avoid BCA facilities.

    Weather here in the NE is spectacular today. Bright, in the mid sixties. I'm home for 2 days, only to run off to main job in CT tomorrow. Helping out in local nursing home tonite. I am debating whether to replenish the a/c in the car for this summer or if I should stick it out, it's cool. Perhaps it'll be another cool summer. What do you think!
