The 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.

[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

THE 188 STAGE HERO'S JOURNEY:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).

d) Tells you what to write. For example, at a certain stage of the story, the focus should be on the Call to Adventure and the micro elements within.

*****First Trial Inner Cave - Polarization*****

A number of things happen in the Inner Cave of the First Trial. One element is Polarization. In Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Bonnie and Blanche argue.

*****Chance Meeting*****

It is not unusual for the Heralds to meet the Hero by chance. Often, they have intended to search for something or someone else. In Star Wars (1977), C3PO and R2D2 do not intend to find Luke Skywalker. In Dances with Wolves (1990), the General did not expect to see John Dunbar attempt suicide. In The Magnificent Seven (1960), the farmers expected to find someone, but not necessarily Chris and Vin.

The health care industry is booming all over the world. The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and even Japan are now leading the way in employing health care practitioners, especially nurses. This has also led to a boom in nursing school enrollment; in fact, some doctors leave their practice if only to study nursing and work as nurses abroad! Because of the great number of openings for nurses, and the even greater number of nursing graduates fresh out of school and looking for jobs, it can be difficult to apply to a nursing job no matter how good your credentials are.

You can have the best grades in the world, but have no people skills; a transcript of records, therefore, can tell your prospective employers that you were simply good in the classroom. You can have the best recommendation letters in the world, but cannot think quickly; recommendation letters, therefore, can tell your prospective employers that you showed a good side to some people. Lastly, you can have the thickest, richest resume in the world, but if you have no personality or ability to care for people, then you might not be a good nurse.

How you work and reason can be seen when you get to be interviewed for the nurse position, but how can you get interviewed if you have only a few documents to back you up? The answer lies in your cover letter, and you must not underestimate its power. A well-written cover letter for a nurse position should have all the elements of a good cover letter: it should get your prospective employer interested enough in you to interview you, and perhaps even offer you a job.

It may be a single sheet of paper with a few paragraphs, but a cover letter can do more than just cover. It will show your personality and creativity, as well as your potential to be a good nurse. The goal of a nurse is to provide quality health care to his or her patients in the best, quickest way possible – let this goal guide you as you write your cover letter. If prospective employers detect your seriousness in meeting such a goal, then you already have one foot inside the hospital door.

Avoid gushing about the goal, however, and stay away from flowery, convoluted language. You need to be brief: your prospective employers have little time to read long cover letters, let alone look through thick wads of resumes and transcripts. Write a cover letter of no more than four paragraphs, and present only your salient points. The shorter your letter is, the more attractive it will be to an employer. Don't sell yourself short, however: highlight your strengths and achievements without sounding like an overbearing upstart.

Nurses not only have to be smart: they have to be people persons, gentle, and caring. Indicate that you can deal with the stress of being a nurse; state previous experience where you had to deal with long work hours, demanding doctors, and emotional patients, and yet still emerged triumphant at the end of your long day. Say all this in no more than a single paragraph, and use language that is direct and straight to the point.

Ask for an interview and provide all your important contact information. Moreover, do constant follow ups on your application, and do not be afraid to apply again if you are rejected the first time. Nurses are needed all over the world, and you only have to find a hospital, clinic, or health care institution that will take you in. Your passport is a great cover letter, so work on it well and give it all the care it needs.
