Nephrology nurses use the nursing process to care for patients of all ages who are experiencing, or are at risk for, kidney disease.
Nephrology has been recognized as a specialty for over 35 years. In 1973, treatment for end stage kidney disease (ESRD) by hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or transplantation was funded by the federal government through the Social Security program making ESRD the only disease-caused disability and became more readily available. As a result, the role of the nephrology nurse grew in scope, practice boundaries broadened, and the number of nephrology nurses climbed steadily.
Nephrology nursing involves both preventing disease and assessing the health needs of patients and families. Care spans the life cycle and involves patients who are experiencing the real or threatened impact of acute or chronic kidney disease; therefore nephrology nurses must be well-educated, highly skilled, and motivated. These nurses also deal with every organ system in the body, calling for a holistic approach to patient care that is both challenging and rewarding.
Driven by technological and educational advances, nephrology nursing continues to be a dynamic field with a wide variety of career opportunities for nurses at all levels.
Nephrology nursing practice requires a common knowledge base to care for pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients with kidney disease.
The roles of the nephrology nurse include the following:
- Staff nurse, hospital or outpatient settings
- Hemodialysis/peritoneal dialysis nurse
- Vascular access coordinator
- Nurse manager
- Transplant coordinator
- Organ recovery coordinator
- Office nurse
- Nurse practitioner
- Clinical nurse specialist
- Pharmaceutical representative
- Nurse researcher
- Quality management
- Nurse educator
- Corporate/sales
- State or federal surveyor
Care may be extremely complex: patients may have numerous comorbid conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, infectious disease, bone disease, or psychiatric conditions. In addition, many face psychosocial issues. The nurse's role is to help patients manage their lives - succeed at school or work, socialize, maintain relationships, or enjoy hobbies - while effectively dealing with their health issues.
It is important to note that not all patients with kidney disease require dialysis and/or transplant; the majority of the diseases that affect the kidneys are treatable and potentially able to be arrested or even cured. Some patients may elect conservative management and palliative care. In these cases, one of the nephrology nurse's primary roles is to educate patients about their diseases, prognoses, and treatments.
Practice Settings
Nephrology nurses practice in dialysis clinics, hospitals, physician practices, transplant programs, and many other inpatient and outpatient settings. They work in primary, secondary, and tertiary care facilities as well as in patients' homes – wherever individuals experiencing or at risk for kidney disease receive health care.
In inpatient settings, patients are often critically ill and care is fast-paced and challenging. In outpatient settings, the nephrology nurse is an integral member of a multidisciplinary team that cares for patients with complex needs. The nurse in this setting functions as advocate, educator, consultant, care coordinator, and direct caregiver and oversees long-term care of chronically ill patients. As such, the nephrology nurse can have a positive impact on the quality of patients' lives.
Other opportunities in nephrology nursing include:
- Education
- Management
- Research
- Case management
- Advanced practice nursing
- Corporate/government
- Pediatric nephrology
To provide optimum care tailored to each patient's needs, specialized areas of nephrology nursing have evolved, along with nurses' knowledge and skills. These skills primarily relate to modalities of therapy which include:
- Hemodialysis
- Peritoneal dialysis
- Transplantation
- Continuous renal replacement therapy
- Conservative management
- Other extracorporeal therapies
Nephrology nursing practice overlaps the boundaries of other specialty areas. For example, transplant nurses now care for patients who receive multi-organ transplants.
In addition to basic educational preparation to function as a registered professional nurse, nephrology nursing practice at the generalist level requires a specific knowledge base and demonstrated clinical expertise in kidney disease care beyond that acquired in a basic nursing program. At the advanced practice level, the nephrology nurse has a master's degree in nursing as either a nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist.
All nephrology nurses must have a common knowledge base relevant to all aspects of care for adult and pediatric kidney patients and their families. This knowledge base includes but is not limited to:
- Anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology
- The nursing process as applied to nephrology nursing
- Knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment for patients requiring any method of renal replacement therapy
- Pharmacology and pharmacotherapy
- Nutrition
- Growth and development
- Teaching/learning theory
- Counseling/interviewing skills
- Interdisciplinary team skills
- Research processes
- Rehabilitation principles
- Palliative care and concepts related to death and dying
The nephrology nurse functions as a coordinator of patient care collaborating with other care providers and health team members to provide required care as effectively as possible. The nephrology nurse acts as a patient teacher and advocate, assisting the patient in seeking information, assuring the patient has the opportunity for informed consent for treatment decisions, and promoting the maximal level of patient-desired independence. The nephrology nurse may also function as a nurse manager to assure the delivery of appropriate care.
The nephrology nurse actively participates in professional role development activities including continuing education, quality assessment and improvement, and the review and clinical application of research findings. The nephrology nurse develops ethically sound practice and confronts ethical challenges through application of the Nephrology Nursing Standards of Practice and Standards of Care.
Continuing Education
Nephrology nurses are registered nurses (RNs) with specialized education and experience in caring for patients who are experiencing, or are at risk for, kidney disease. Nephrology nurses continually update their education through a variety of programs, publications, and special activities. The American Nephrology Nurses' Association offers an annual National Symposium and a Fall Meeting for Nephrology Nurse Managers, Advanced Practice Nurses, and Clinicians by providing in-depth education sessions for nurses at all practice levels. ANNA also sponsors legislative and leadership workshops; audio conferences; distance learning courses; and numerous chapter programs.
To advance their education and earning power even further, many nephrology nurses seek certification through the Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission (www.nncc-exam.org). Certification in nephrology nursing recognizes an individual's expertise in the specialty and demonstrates advanced knowledge and experience.

What Web Developers and our Winery Clients Say About Nexternal
Our goal is to provide the best shopping cart software and expert customer support in the eCommerce industry. Many of our clients have given us permission to publish their feedback and testimonials on our website, and we're thrilled with what they have to say about the Nexternal eCommerce Platform and our team.
Katie Partridge - NinthVector - Lebanon, New Hampshire"We have worked with Nexternal for the better part of ten years and continue to appreciate the responsive, quality customer service they provide to their eCommerce clients as well as to the firms like us who work with those clients. Nexternal Solutions provides a reliable and user-friendly platform for selling products online - one that compliments the brand-building services we provide including online marketing and social networking."
Leslie Decker - E-Data Solutions, Inc. - St. Louis, MO"Over the years we've been presented with finding solutions for some particularly quirky product scenarios for our clients' online stores. In the past, it has often times resulted in our clients making concessions to their wants and needs... that is, until several years ago when we were introduced to Nexternal's eCommerce software. Now the requests that used to be a challenge almost always result in "Yes, we can make that happen!"
Nexternal is continuously improving their system and what it brings to the table. Many companies simply do not have budgets available for continual website development, IT support staff to monitor servers, or the resources available to stay on top of security issues and threats. That's part of the beauty of Nexternal - with using their amazing software, you also have peace of mind that your online store is up & running, secure, and backed by their support staff.
For many of our clients their online store is their main sales channel, so anything other than having it up and running 100% of the time is not an option. For our Nexternal clients, that is something that I no longer worry about!"
Dave Lemke - The Website Shack - Atlanta, GA"Nexternal provides an Order Management System that offers a complete eCommerce solution. With Nexternal, we have been able to implement an Affiliate sales program, schedule holiday discount programs, institute coupon codes and offer inventory from multiple fulfillment centers. Nexternal delivers where other providers fall flat. Instead of making sacrifices for our clients, we have been able to not only meet their expectations in an order management system, but also provide additional features offered by Nexternal to increase visibility and sales.
As a web developer, providing my clients with a fully functioning online store is at the top of my list. With Nexternal, I am provided a platform that offers my clients everything needed for success. Nexternal provides online consumers a seamless browsing and shopping experience. Customer feeback regarding the ordering process, ease of navigation and functionality of the eCommerce platform has all been positive.
Nexternal can't be beat when it comes to customer service. Our Account Executive has reached out to assist us on weekends, holidays and even while on vacation. With Nexternal, you are not just an account number. They go out of their way to make sure you understand that the support and knowledge needed for your success are available to you at anytime.
My clients have reported up to a 300% increase in online sales since the integration with Nexternal. Previous eCommerce providers limited the success of an online shopping experience. With Nexternal, the features needed for the development and marketing of the clients storefront and the improved customer shopping experience are provided at your fingertips. "
Nathan Smallcomb - Already Set Up - Santa Rosa, CA"Nexternal is the only eCommerce solution that gives us complete control of the final product. As a developer we appreciate the flexibility of the Nexternal API and combined with their robust layout editor, Nexternal enables us to deliver exactly what the client wants."
Nicole Rienecker - neekdesign - San Francisco, CA"Neekdesign has worked with Nexternal since 1999. The Nexternal platform has been, and continues to be, one of the most solid and full-featured eCommerce systems available. It is our first choice in eCommerce for all of our clients. As designers and developers, we appreciate the ease of use and flexibility to mask our website design's look-and-feel with the Nexternal System. We also appreciate the speed and secure performance of the back-end technology on which the platform is built. We know with certainty that our clients service needs will be provided for, that we will be able to make updates easily and quickly if our clients need a design change, and that the Nexternal system provides an accessible gateway to the search engines and social networking arenas that are so much a part of our clients' marketing strategies."
Misty Martin - Magnolia Bakery - New York, NY"I'm always impressed about how easy it is to add new items and make changes to our online store. The functionality is robust and intuitive. The order processing is extremely easy to use, both for our employees and for our customers. The customer service that we have received from Nexternal from our account rep has been excellent. He is always available and ready to answer my questions or walk me through different options to help me determine the best solution for the needs of my customers. He is kind, sincere, professional and takes the time to make sure I fully understand my options from every angle. "
Dan Green - Simple Truths - Naperville, IL"We've increased our online sales volume 50 fold with the help of Nexternal. The order management system deployed quickly and gave us a world-class infrastructure to grow our business. Due to the success of a viral marketing campaign, our online orders literally skyrocketed from 6 per day to 106 per day overnight. Since that time we have had days where we've taken and processed more than 1800 orders through the system - something that would not have been possible with our past eCommerce solution.
The online store is very easy to navigate and manage. So much so that we are able to delegate setup and support tasks to individuals without any technology background. Our Nexternal Account Executive has played a critical role in our success. His knowledge of not only the technology, but of the industry's best practices has been very valuable to Simple Truths."
Susan Kunisky - Hershey Entertainment and Resorts - Hershey, PA"Our Nexternal Account Manager has been amazing. He is available whenever I need him, and is very quick to help with whatever we need. We feel like he is a member of our team, and he's a big reason we are sticking with the Nexternal eCommerce Platform. "
Robert F. Skaff Jr - DiNotte Lighting USA - Hampton, NH"DiNotte Lighting USA makes world class bicycle headlights and bicycle taillights. Our main focus is on building products and servicing our customers across the globe. When it was time to move our online store to the next level, we chose Nexternal. The Nexternal store gave us all the features we needed, plus the assurance that a support staff would be ready to deal with technical issues should a problem arise. Our integration was smooth, accurate and we have enjoyed a highly functional system that is both reliable and easy for our staff to operate and maintain. "
Scot Nicol - Ibis Cycles - Aptos, CA"Ibis Cycles is a small, rapidly growing manufacturer of high-end bicycles and accessories. Rapid growth means you need to stay light on your feet. The flexibility of Nexternal's order processing and catalog management is incredibly easy to use, and has been able to handle every change we've made.
Nexternal lets us define the user experience in our store. It's very important for us to make the customer feel comfortable, and by allowing us design flexibility, our customers still feel right at home, like they've never left the Ibis site.
At Ibis, we're proud to be known for our strong customer support. We feel it is an extremely important component of a running a good business and always pay attention to how other businesses handle their customer support. We are happy to say that Nexternal exceeds our expectations in the every area of customer support and responsiveness."
Ellen N. Herrera - Amplify.com - Brooklyn, NY"The Order Management System has been excellent for order processing. We have integrated it with our CRM which was an important component in our vendor/platform selection. The catalog management is good. Reporting is excellent and gives great feedback on key analytics.
The storefront is easy to use. It has good functionality and offers a wide array of options that provide a high degree of flexibility.
Nexternal's customer support/service has been outstanding. Nexternal's customer support/service has been outstanding. We get immediate responses that are always direct and very helpful. We are informed regularly around any new happenings with the product. Overall it has been a pleasure to deal with Nexternal!"
Dennis Bell - Lewis Cellars - Napa Valley, CA"The Order Management System is the only system to ever thoroughly meet our needs. From the hip, I can say that monthly sales are up 30-40% over prior months since switching to Nexternal's eCommerce Platform.
The system is intuitive, simple and effective. We're very happy with it. The Tell-A-Friend application is excellent! We don't get much feedback about the storefront from customers, but when we do, it's always very positive. My interpretation is that people are very satisfied with the process - otherwise we'd be getting negative feedback; e.g. "no news is good news."
Order confirmation and shipping confirmation e-mails are professional looking and contribute to customers' comfort level and satisfaction with the purchase and the overall shopping experience. Again, this is a well thought-out, simple, and user-friendly shopping environment. Nexternal is providing a virtual storefront that complements and enhances our brand and identity as an ultra-premium winery.
Our Account Executive is the most capable and responsive account rep - from every vendor and industry - that I have ever worked with, period. He's quick to diagnose, research and/or resolve every issue I throw at him and his timely, professional response is greatly valued. He continues to be a great resource for improvements and new ideas in addition to solving problems or identifying potential solutions to them. He has contributed significantly to our success. And, notwithstanding the above comments, which are sincere, he's just a darn nice guy to work with; with equal parts of technical and interpersonal skill."
Jeff Pisoni - Pisoni & Lucia - Napa Valley, CA"Nexternal is doing a great job of meeting our online business needs. They are extremely reliable for our customer security, order processing, and our reporting. By working with Nexternal, we were able to customize our shopping cart for better convenience of the consumer- therefore creating a better experience for the shopper. We now receive much positive feedback about the layout of our shopping cart.
Our customer service representative has done a fantastic job of working with us on our account. She was thoughtful, informative and patient with our needs while we redesigned our shopping cart. Regarding work during the remainder of the year on more standard matters, she is always available and has proven to be responsive very quickly on urgent matters. This assistance has given much reassurance in Nexternal's reliability. We see our direct sales increase on a yearly basis. We suppose this may be from a variety of reasons, but one part the definitely contributes is the ever-evolving technology that Nexternal works with."
Jo Dayoan - Silverado Vineyards - Napa Valley, CA"In the first three months with Nexternal, online sales surpassed the previous eighteen months! Our customers had a very easy transition from the previous shopping cart. Support has always been superb. I really value the e-mails regarding product updates - explanations have been well thought out. Order processing is very streamlined. Adding, copying and editing products is easy to execute. "
Ruth Fevre - Andretti Winery - Napa Valley, CA"I can give nothing but a glowing review of Nexternal! It is very user friendly, intuitive and does just about everything I need in order to make our business a continuing success. Order Processing: Couldn't be any easier! Very user -friendly and easy to manipulate order data. Product Catalog Management: Fantastic! It allows us to again, manipulate each item in our catalog to meet our specific needs. We really like being able to do pricing tiers, volume pricing, etc. Reporting: Another great item! It allows me to create reports for just about anything that I need from tax reports to catalog reports.
The updates have been very informative and useful. Every time I turn around, Nexternal has added a new and useful feature to my system. My Account Executive rep is the best! It seems that she always has the answer to what I need right at her proverbial fingertips! All of the reps that I have spoken with at Nexternal are great! "
Karen Williams - Acme Fine Wines - Saint Helena,CA"Nexternal came very highly recommended to ACME Fine Wines when we began our quest for an order management system. It wasn't until we did extensive research on the competition that we realized Nexternal was the right choice for our boutique wine shop's needs. Reporting capabilities are extensive and results are concise both of which are extremely useful for our needs. Order processing is simple which allows us more time to sell, our main directive.
Our customers rave about the ease of navigation while shopping and processing orders and for us, Nexternal's eye on customer service adds one more reason they are the perfect choice for our online order management needs. In the beginning stages of the website building/merging, we weren't sure if the process would be easily navigated without distraction, but having the shopping cart in plain view at all times makes the experience quick and leaves no surprises at the checkout.
What Nexternal offers by way of product support, enhancements, updates and responsiveness is next to genius. Our small business relies on quick, knowledgeable and friendly customer service to help us stand apart from other boutique wine shops and we feel that Nexternal matches our needs for those same qualities. The ability to be able to speak with a live person during business hours is imperative and somewhat of a dying enterprise, but not so with Nexternal. The use of webinars to help in the learning process is key. We, as a team, use them to familiarize ourselves with processes before implementing and they are quite valuable. "
Trent Moffett - Moffett Vineyards and C&T Cellars - Napa Valley, CA"I believe Nexternal has the best shopping cart in the business. The order management system is excellent, order processing is fast and easy, product catalog management is simple to set up and the reporting is very detailed. Using Nexternal's software has increased my sales and my understanding of my clients.
As for customer service, I couldn't be more pleased. Everyone I've worked with understands the system inside and out and has been extremely helpful. My contact has gone out of her way to help me through the start up process and has made it fun and easy."
Brian Thompson - Krupp Brothers - Napa, CA"Our sales have increased by leaps and bounds since we partnered with Nexternal. Previously, customers would have to print out an order form from our website and fax the form in. Now, it's as simple as a few clicks of the mouse, and their orders are complete. We couldn't be happier with the improvements in our direct sales since we partnered with Nexternal.
The Order Management System is easy to use and allows us to accurately manage and monitor our online sales. We can track each step of the process, from when the order is placed to when we fulfill the order with our warehouse to when the order ships. More importantly, it allows our customers to stay updated on the status of their orders. The product catalog is simple to set up. The reporting tools are excellent, allowing our winery to see which products are moving and which need more attention.
Nexternal has created a online store that is easy and simple for customers to use. Products are easy to find. Repeat customers can log in and have all of their shipping and billing information stored in the system, making ordering a breeze!
Our Account Manager has been a true asset. No matter the question, she is there to provide a quick and easy solution. This was our first experience in setting up an online store, and everyone at Nexternal made the process simple and easy for us to understand."
James Reddick - Russian River Vineyards - Forestville, CA"Nexternal helps me stay organized, easily sorting between customer groups, order types, and to-do lists. I'm frequently surprised by the how powerful the program is. In Nexternal, you can create a report for anything, and I mean anything so simply. Our Account Executive has offered some incredible tips to help increase our sales. Our online sales have grown dramatically since launching and streamlining our Nexternal online store, to the tune of a minimum 75% growth. We're also noticing month over month growth as our customer base becomes more familiar with their online accounts and ease of ordering. As we head into the slow season in our brick and mortar store, our online store is thriving."
Kimberly Olson - Tesoro - Temecula, CA"I love how Nexternal has created a shopping cart that perfectly replicates the look and feel of our own websites... yes, we have two different brands so two different looks... works and looks great. Our account executive has done a wonderful job getting us up and running. Any time I had something special in mind, she found a way to make it happen. Her responsiveness is great, I can almost always reach her or get a call back quickly. She's patient and takes whatever time you need to fully understand any part of the system."
Brigid Bailie - Harris Estate Vineyards - Calistoga, CA"I stepped into the role as general manager to find an ill equipped system that could not handle the growth of the small production winery. I had used Nexternal in the past at another medium sized winery and felt it would be best to manage the day to day operations and promote the growth of the business. Nexternal was easy to implement and created a sound structure to reinvigorate the web store presence of our website. The staff were very helpful and attentive in keeping the timeline on track and working with our other web developers. After 6 months with Nexternal, we launched our wine club. Nexternal seamlessly processed each club shipment with spectacular reporting features to track our club success and target buyers accordingly. We have increased revenue with a highly functional web store and we have enjoyed the ease of club management through the Nexternal system."
Monica Bennion - Scott Harvey Wines - Saint Helena, CA"The OMS setup is user friendly and order processing is easy. I like the connections between Authorize.net and Nexternal. This is incredibly helpful when making changes to a customer order. The connection between ShipCompliant and Nexternal is also very helpful, as it allows us to see why an order was not compliant and make changes. Creating reports is very simple, and the selection is endless. I like that there is a breakdown between the cost of goods, tax and shipping and then an overall total."
Wendy Morrow - Tara Bella Winery - Santa Rosa, CA"Order Processing has become such a breeze, along with the Catalog Management. After my account manager held my hand and walked me through the set up process, I was able to grasp the concepts and proceed on my own. Most of the reporting is easy to use and suits my needs. Again, once Pamela walked me through the process... I have been able to manage this easily on my own. My account manager is a marketing GENIUS..... Her thought process is extraordinary.... with the ability to transfer her ideas succinctly.
Almost all of the people I have talked to have had only positive comments on the ease of ordering. Because of the "Review Reminder" that goes out 30 days after an order is placed, we have received many positive reviews from our customers..... Love it! "
Wes Hagen - Clos Pepe Vineyards and Estate Wines - Lompoc, CA"We have easily doubled our online sales since switching to Nexternal. We've also cut the emails like: "Your website store doesn't work, I had problems ordering, etc." Nexternal's software is very intuitive. I rarely need help, but when I do it comes fast and easy. I have experienced great responsiveness from the Nexternal team. "
Alan K. Brune - Bergstrom Wines - Newberg, OR"Nexternal has been a great turnkey module for our website and has proven invaluable in streamlining the order process and increasing our sales. While we have been contacted by other vendors to switch our platform to theirs, my response has been why would I want to do it? Nexternal works - plain and simple and I have incredible confidence that when I have questions or issues I can contact our product support team member he will get back to me promptly and with the right answer. Having that support there is invaluable and is one of the biggest reasons I don't even entertain the idea of moving at this point."
Janet Texas - Blue Rock Vineyard - Tiburon, CA"Blue Rock has been using Nexternal for 2 years for our direct to consumer orders. I have been very satisfied with Nexternal. The initial set-up is time consuming, but there is tremendous flexibility in programming product discounts, customer based pricing, coupons; and Nexternal easily interfaces with QuickBooks, ShipCompliant, MailChimp, if that's what you are using.
Processing credit card charges and transmitting orders to your fulfillment house is super easy. There are numerous reports available to track your sales, including sales tax reports, re-order rates, top customers, etc.
Nexternal also makes processing Wine Club shipments simple and leads you right through the process including notification of the customers whose credit cards have expired.
The aspect of Nexternal that I find the most valuable is the outstanding customer support provided. Our contact and has worked closely with us so we utilize all features of Nexternal that will make our business easier. Either she or one of the Nexternal customer service techs is ALWAYS available to answer our questions. When I have had occasion to contact a tech via the Nexternal help link, I get an IMMEDIATE response - and I mean immediate. I have had Nexternal techs phone me on Sunday afternoon regarding an inquiry.
We've found Nexternal to be much more reasonably priced than many other OMS programs that are not nearly as comprehensive or flexible. For us another advantage is that unlike some other OMS programs on the market Nexternal is not packed with a bunch of functions that are of no use to us, so we are not paying for features that are irrelevant to our business. "
Janie Auspitz - The Famous 4th Street Cookie Company - Philadelphia, PA"Order processing is extremely simple and I am learning how to use reports, mass emails, special notifications, and refunds (fabulous - I used to have to process a check for refunds!) I also know that I can make changes to my website in the future without worry, which is a huge benefit. I could not be more satisfied or grateful that I found Nexternal and partnered with them.I just calculated the sales for the same two week period last year, and since switching to Nexternal my sales have actually doubled. I can't believe there would be such a significant difference in such a short period of time. Way to go, Nexternal! My only regret after that moment was that I waited 4 years to switch to Nexternal. "
John Jordan - Sage Products - Cary, IL"With Nexternal, Sage Products has increased its eCommerce business 41% over the previous year. We constantly hear from our customers how easy the site is to use and that is why they keep coming back to order with us. Furthermore, the Customer Service I receive from my Nexternal account manager is top-notch with response times in MINUTES not days."
Stefan Sargent - Rough Linen - San Rafael, CA"On Jan. 1, 2013 at 2:00 am with the help of our Nexternal Rep, we went live. My rep is in nearby Napa, CA, but she could have been anywhere - still it was reassuring to know that if it all went terribly wrong, she could drive here, and I knew she would. There was no need - a few hours after making the switch to Nexternal, we had our first sale, then the next, the next and ... On day one, I could have easily written words of praise, still there's no point in saying how great Nexternal and their customer service is, if it doesn't show up in good, old-fashioned ROI. Was it worth all my time, all Pamela's time and the extra expense? Heck, yes. Just 24 days after our launch and sales are UP 100% on January 2012. All this with no advertising and no special promotion. Customers like to know that even though we are selling a craft product, there's a professional side to the business. That's the Nexternal effect. Thank you to my rep, thank you Nexternal." - [Rough Linen eCommerce Case Study]
Barb Skinner - Stages Cycling - Portland, OR"Nexternal was a critical player in the successful launch of our power meters. The build out of our store matched our site well, and was completed well within the timeline quoted. Our Nexternal account representative is very responsive and helpful both in helping us understand how to customize our store to meet our needs, and in taking our feedback to the Nexternal developers to be constantly improving the system. After working for over a year with a variety of Nexternal team members, I can confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a solid eCommerce solution, knowing you will receive the same level of professional work, care and attention that we have had. We sell a very technical product to very informed customers, and the Nexternal team has never taken lightly that our customers require our website to look sharp, be intuitive and easy to navigate, and provide us meaningful data on sales."
Thomas Meckfessel - Clavey Paddlesports - Petaluma, CA"The Order Management System is a nice change from our old system and seems to work well. Order processing is seamless and works great! The other features such as out of stock emails, customer reviews and like/share discounts are really fantastic features. I cannot imagine better support than what I have received from my Account Manager."
Jane Barthelemy - Marco Polo Designs - Solon, OH"We built an all-new website using Nexternal's eCommerce software 10 months ago. Choosing Nexternal was one of the best business decisions we've ever made. We find it a robust, multi-faceted package that meets all our needs, with room to grow. As a unique jewelry company with an enormous product line and special needs, we were able to format the product display to highlight the products in a classy, photo-intensive layout. We appreciate their on-screen shopping cart, order confirmation with photo, and all the ease that eCommerce brings us every day. Nexternal's service and updates are excellent and timely. Our Nexternal service manager is a lovely person and also a genius. "
James Clay - BimmerWorld - Dublin, VA"Nexternal is an important partner to our company's daily operations and growth. As we work in an evolving online marketplace, Nexternal is responsive to our changing needs and we are additionally able to implement functionality suggested from other top-tier online retailers. I feel we are able to offer our customers the best shopping experience and unique shopping experience due to the horsepower this platform provides. "
Monica Browne - Old-Country Bakery - Lenexa, KS"My Account Manager gets a top rating for Customer support. If he does not answer the phone he certainly calls me back in a very timely manner. He has also called in advance of a product roll out and frequently calls to suggest things that may help my business. Kudos to Nexternal. Even with Hurricane Sandy nothing ever skipped a beat."
Javier Villafana - Tag Toys Inc - Compton, CA"We've literally doubled our website revenue each month since going live with Nexternal. The dollar value of each order has also increased. We've had more repeat customers these past 2 months with Nexternal than we've had the last 6 months on our old system!
One comment we consistently receive from our customers is that they feel comfortable and safe shopping with us. Repeat customers are ecstatic that the site is much more consumer friendly. They say there's a natural flow to the site structure: finding the product, adding it to their cart, continuing to search and order additional products, viewing the shopping cart at all times, checking out with confidence that their personal info is safe guarded.
This OMS is light years ahead of what we were using last year. It exceeds our online business needs. It's a relief not having to pay extra for adding modules every time you want to add another "bell or whistle". Order processing is a breeze. The learning curve is low. Product catalog management is intuitive and very straight forward. Reporting is wonderful with so many options to choose from. You can dial in any specific product, $ range, demographics range, etc. for a wealth of information at your fingertips.
Nexternal's customer support had been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, my AE made the transition smooth and bearable: transferring the site over, making the site SEO friendly, polishing it up and making it more consumer friendly.
I can't help but smile because now we have a website that we can feel proud of."
Stephanie Stroth - ZD Wines - Napa Valley, CA"Our online sales have approximately tripled since switching to Nexternal's eCommerce software. "
Seth Petre - The Bethesda Institute - Watertown, WI"Nexternal provides an intuitive order management system with a full range of features that meet essentially every need. It's been an absolutely fantastic upgrade from our previous eCommerce solution! The marketing capabilities have not only given us the opportunity to share a variety of discounts for our customers, but also evaluate the effectiveness of those efforts through detailed analysis and reporting.
The on-screen cart gives our customers a clear and functional shopping experience. Nexternal was also able to effectively sync our e-store with our current website, to provide a seamless navigation to convert visitors to paying customers.
If there is one element of Nexternal that stands out to me, it would have to be the customer service. Our Account Manager immediately responds to our every need and explains things in a way that even the least tech-savvy person can understand. Believe me, we had an endless number of questions about the setup and implementation of our store, and he was always extremely helpful with a positive and encouraging attitude. Even when Superstorm Sandy hit, he worked tirelessly to make sure that our e-store rolled out without any problems. It's been fantastic working with him!
Ryan Wilson - Vegan Essentials - Wauwatosa, WI"Everything with the shopping cart is wonderful! Ease of use is incredible, stability is exceptional, the functions are great...there isn't much else we could want in a system! Customer feedback has been wonderful - all our old customers love the new system so much more than the old one, and now nobody has to write or call saying that they can't figure out how to complete an order.
Support has been fantastic, updates are frequent and loaded with new useful features. Our representative, was more helpful to us in the first week of working with Nexternal than our old rep was in 2 years with our previous eCommerce provider.
Our sales have increased around 50% on the average since switching over to Nexternal, and during the Christmas rush we increased our monthly sales by a whopping 140%. Thank you, Nexternal, for making our business easier to run!"
Romina Rasmussen - Les Madeleines - Salt Lake City, UT"Nexternal's storefront is very easy to use. I love being able to see the cart at all times. I also find the order processing and catalog management to be easy. Most of all, I love the reports! My Account Executive has been GREAT! I am completely new to eCommerce and she's been patient and very helpful with all my questions. When she was out for a few days, I received seamless support when I had a question. She has also taken the time to review my site, without being asked, to make it better. I have recommended Nexternal several times to friends who are considering expanding their businesses online."
Sean E. Schoepflin - GreenNicotine.com - Tucson, AZ"Nexternal exceed all my initial expectations. I expect everything I have in place, for my corporation, to run flawlessly. Unfortunately, in the business world I continually get disappointed. However, when it comes to my shopping cart, the folks @ Nexternal have given me one less thing to worry about.
It is clear that Nexternal wrote the book on functionality. Our cart is super easy to use and our average ticket is far more than initially expected. Nexternal seems to have turned one product shoppers into three product buyers.
Nexternal is second to none when it comes to customer support and service. My Account Executive has handled my unrelenting phone calls with patience and a true interest in helping me use Nexternal to the fullest. He has continually gone far beyond what any business can expect from a partner. There is no doubt that my online business would not be this successful without his in-depth analysis, guidance, and execution.
Our monthly sales have greatly increased since using Nexternal and things only seem to be getting better. Nexternal's features continually keep increasing our sales. From the information Nexternal gathers for future campaigns to their customer feedback sections, it is an absolute that Nexternal Solutions makes any corporation better!"
Kimberley Carrasco - VersaSpa by MagicTan - Solon, OH"I LOVE the order management system. Anytime I wonder about doing a new project, Nexternal makes it so simple to implement. Reports are awesome too. As a brand new eCommerce customer, I am so thrilled with the ease and simplicity Nexternal offers. We took over fulfillment just 6 months ago and have been able to service our customers far better with Nexternal than our competitor!
Our Account Executive is amazing! He responds with an email or phone call in record time! He is always there to answer a question or give us an idea on how to implement a new project, run a report or market to our customers. Nexternal has served us with superior customer service, like no other vendor we have ever dealt with, thank you! Because we directly fulfill and communicate with our customers, we have seen sales double in the last 6 months!"
Aaron Davidson - Lula's Chocolates - Monterey, CA"Nexternal has made it very easy for our customers to see what they are buying by keeping the shopping cart constantly on the page. The Order Management System has been a real blessing with our order processing. Our number one requirement, when we were selecting a new shopping cart, was that it had to allow multiple ship-to addresses on a single order. Nexternal fulfilled that requirement. It is very simple to process orders.
Nexternal's support has been stellar in every way. I have an assigned staff to help me with my questions and I've never had a question not answered. When my assigned support staff is not available and I've had to talk to someone else, I have found that every person I've talked to knows the product really well and has been able to assist me with any issue without having to be transferred around waiting for an answer."
William Brownie - HearingPlanet - Brentwood, TN"Order processing is significantly easier with Nexternal. Integration with the major shipping carriers makes label printing very easy. Reporting for both marketing and accounting is very simple and thorough. The Storefront interface is friendly and the checkout process is simple.
Support could not be better. This is where Nexternal really shines. We have increased sales by more than 50% since implementing Nexternal."
Derek Wiseman - Zamberlan USA - Pleasanton, CA"I find Nexternal's software to be very user friendly, well structured and robust. I have had very few issues requiring customer support. However, on the few that I did, the response time and corrective action was quick. 2008 compared to 2007 reflects a month to month (same period) growth ranging from 50-100%. We are expecting 30-60% increase for 2009. "
Ian Murray - Triathlon Training Series - Los Angeles, CA"Nexternal's order processing capability is spot on perfect. I love it. The storefront side is very smooth. I've watched over the shoulder of some customers as they've gone through the process and it's worked very well.
As for customer service, our Nexternal contact is brilliant! I feel so lucky to have her. She answers the phone often when I call and either has the answer or gets back to me quickly with a resolution."
William F. Cole - Mayron Cole Piano Method - Gonzales, TX"Since switching to Nexternal, our eCommerce sales went from 60% to 99% of overall orders almost overnight! I am certain that this was the result of the much better store front presentation and the ease of use of the shopping cart! That increase means that the transcription errors that often accompany phone orders no longer occur, and our office staff spends more time developing the business instead of answering the phones.
For many years, I knew the improvements that I wanted for my company's online store site. I looked on the internet on a regular basis to find a system that was flexible and easy to use. That combination is quite unusual. Most store sites require you to follow their pattern precisely and force you to change your store to fit their pattern, even if it makes the ordering process very complicated. We had so many written instructions and exceptions on our previous site that people would end up calling our 800 number to place a phone order out of frustration with the online store. About 4 months ago I happened to order some products online. Immediately upon entering the Nexternal Store Front on that site, I could see everything that I wanted on the screen before me: concise store front with a modern appearance; cart always visible; easy to use search box that really works; easy choice of shipping methods; shipping charge available for review on screen before checking out; time in transit; INTUITIVE ordering process; no long, boring, detailed instructions; easy retrieval of previous orders; easy tracking of the progress of current orders. I actually clicked over to the Nexternal Solutions home page before I finished my order because I was so happy to finally have the criteria that our company really needed.
Because of my Account Executive's kind voice and patience, I was able to work though the process of setting up a new store on Nexternal Solutions. Our company will always be thankful for her help because she made it possible for us to grow. We are truly proud of our new eCommerce store."
Kriste Peoples - Ananke Apollo Institut - Chicago, IL"I run a small business and we needed to upgrade our online store. Nexternal gave us a presentation that was almost unbelievable and offered us a chance to give their services a sort of test run. My Account Executive was great because he literally sat with me and my colleagues on the phone and patiently answered every question we had while building our store.
Nexternal's support is exceptional in my opinion. Their response time is quick, and I have always felt that they were available whenever I needed help with issues--big or small. In my experience with Nexternal, I have found that I can fully expect them to do what they say they will. I honestly don't have anything that I would change about working with Nexternal. Personally, I feel that they do everything they promised and haven't fallen short of our expectations at all. "
Ted Greiner - TJB Landscaping - Hamden, CT"I would recommend Nexternal Solutions for an on-line business because I have found it very easy to be creative, add in special features like product videos, and the back end system has all the features I was looking for. Since I do the creative end on the part that the customer sees, it is easy to add, change, or delete information as I see fit. I do not have to pay someone $125.00 per hour to do it for me like I used to when I hosted my own store. Nexternal Solutions allows you to create almost anything you want the customer to see. If I have a question, they respond immediately. "
Pat Baker - Saratoga Supplements - Burnt Hills, NY"The feedback so far has been that our new online store is much easier to navigate through than our old one. It has been well accepted by our existing customers. The reports are very useful and catalog management has been very intuitive.
Nexternal's support is exceptional in my opinion. Their response time is quick, and I have always felt that they were available whenever I needed help with issues--big or small. In my experience with Nexternal, I have found that I can fully expect them to do what they say they will. I honestly don't have anything that I would change about working with Nexternal. Personally, I feel that they do everything they promised and haven't fallen short of our expectations at all.
The automatic up-sell tool, the Social media tools and such have increased our average sale by 12%, which in this economy is awesome. Thanks for everything and keep those revenue enhancers coming."
Frank T. Jurney - Duval Paint & Decorating - Jacksonville, FL"First I would like to thank Nexternal Solutions. Using Nexternal for our online store has proven to be the right decision. Since launching our store we have seen a steady upward trend in sales. The tools in our Order Management System including order processing, reporting, marketing and the dashboard have provided us with more access and information than we ever expected. Our Account Manager has been excellent. He listens to our needs and his availability has been outstanding. We are excited by our Nexternal partnership. "
Ross Hardie - InkJetCarts - Manville, NJ"What we noticed from our old eCommerce provider in concise short and sweet language: "Well it doesn't do that, so we must do ..... this". What we have noticed from Nexternal in the same short and sweet talk: "Wow, it'll do this and that for us?" I can't thank you enough for a great eCommerce solution that will enable us to grow into the future. I can't tell you the appreciation we have to be able to speak/email a single representative - "a go to person" - instead of being passed around the block to every single employee. You guys are set up right and I hope nothing ever changes but your growth and profits."
Eric Braha & Michael Endelman - Kids Gold Jewelry Source - Scottsdale, AZ"Thank you for helping us to implement our new online venture selling kids jewelry. Nexternal simplifies product and data import on a large scale via excel spreadsheets. Managing our store is marvelous and easy to navigate.
We designed our site to be user friendly, and Nexternal compliments this with functionality built in, including easy check-out, unlimited and easy to navigate categories and products, tell a friend, web 2.0, easy to edit articles, online shopper comment boxes, personalized gift messages, and Search Engine Optimized web pages.
Our Account Executive has been informative, thorough and professional in every aspect of our business relationship. Her expertise, prompt response, and her ability to teach us has been invaluable to us in launching our website."
Charlene Redd - Keepsake Imprints - La Grange, CA"Since we have switched to Nexternal, our direct monthly sales increased by 34%. Some months are even better. Nexternal is always keeping us updated on new features to help grow our business.
Nexternal has the best customer service that I have come across when dealing with an online store. All the reps are very kind and want to help you in every way they can. I can't emphasize enough that... they KNOW what they are doing. They have walked me through every step of the way and continued working with us to make our website even better! I am very lucky to have found Nexternal. I strongly encourage others to follow in our footsteps and give Nexternal a try, you won't be disappointed."
Leo Joy - Pro-Lens - Goffstown, NH"The order processing in Nexternal is much better than the osCommerce system we had been using. Accepting orders, printing packaging slips and invoices is very streamlined. Product catalog management is easier to use and does not require web language specific knowledge.
We also like the way the cart is always visible to the customer which creates a better experience for our customers. Nexternal's support has been fantastic! Our account rep is always very responsive, easy to deal with and helps us by suggesting improvements to our store."
Allie Brackett - ReadeREST - Fullerton, CA"We, at ReadeREST, do not have a brick-and-mortar store front, just a warehouse. So, our web store is vital to our survival. It is everything! Nexternal has provided our business with the tools it needs to run our web store effectively. But not just Nexternal the ecommerce platform, mainly our rep. I cannot rave or praise her enough for the unmatched customer service and support she provides the ReadeREST team. She is always available to assist us with anything we need or any questions we have. She is extremely knowledgeable in all things related to our order management system and can explain things in an easy-to-understand manner. I cannot speak highly enough of her!"
Matthew Leeds - WhiteFrog - Redlands, CA"I know Rick Hopper of Specsecure made the right decision working with Nexternal. Last night when the Shark Tank episode was airing, every other eCommerce site featured on the show crashed during traffic spikes EXCEPT SpecSecure.com. In fact, I was later told by the folks at Shark Tank that it was the only entrepreneur eCommerce site to date, that didn't crash while Shark Tank aired."
Russell Dayvault - Orlando City Soccer - Winter Park, FL"Nexternal is an incredible tool in our quest to be more attentive to our customers and their purchasing habits. Our ability to offer targeted products and price points to specific fans provided a massive impact and created a pathway to exponential growth. Additionally, the back end customer reporting allows for insightful and accurate strategies when planning and executing our traditional media campaigns."
Michael Terrien - Hanzell Vineyards - Sonoma, CA"Nexternal provides Hanzell with the tools to customize our sales technique to suit our model. We don't encourage much involvement in the process from our customers, but rather we use Nexternal to organize and execute our releases as pre-arranged allocations of each wine are automatically shipped to each collector. The solution is effective for what is probably an unusual approach in winery direct-sales, and we chose Nexternal for this reason and the low percentage of revenue collected from executing the sales from the back-end. Nexternal handles our needs perfectly well. It allows us to efficiently handle our growth and to provide top-notch customer service. "
Craig J. Caesar - Westport Rivers Vineyard & Winery - Westport, MA"Nexternal's eCommerce software is set up in such a way that anyone can utilize it. I am not that skilled in computer use, but the system and support provided by those at Nexternal more than make up for my inadequacies.
Order Processing is so easy it's scary! It's actually easier to process orders through the Order Management System than it is face to face with customers or if they were to call on the telephone. I love checking orders daily and processing is a snap! Product Management is great, there are a few "ins & outs" that I needed help with at first, but my Nexternal representative is the best, he really held my hand and guided me along, plus he's so accessible; never further than a quick phone call away.
Our Account Executive is a credit to your company and one of the most approachable and helpful individuals I've ever spoken to. He not only knows your system in and out, but he is so well versed on everything that pertains to eCommerce, shipping, marketing and customer service."
Sara Hammond - Tulip Hill Winery - Rancho Mirage, CA"Tulip Hill Winery is a small family owned winery with an offsite tasting room in Rancho Mirage, California. Our case production is under 4000 cases a year and we offer our products direct to consumer with minimal distribution. During our start-up in 2002 and for the first few years, we had a simplified online store-front, at a minimal price and with minimal functionality (and we paid for it). Customers were hesitant with order processing...most that were not comfortable and preferred to call in their orders rather than use the store. In January of 2010, we moved to Nexternal. Our account rep made the process painless. I was shocked with the amount of customer service and support I received! I wear the marketing/tech hat for the company, and I have rarely encountered an "assigned rep" that takes such a strong personal interest in our success. Their techs made our appearance seamless from the main site, but still allowed us control of the store graphics and appearance that we wanted to change-out for marketing promotions. Our customers responded. The ease of finding products and confidence in purchasing products was apparent; our sales increased by over 310% the first month, and over 480% two months later once our in-house marketing increased to promote the new store! Later, we added the services of ShipCompliant which make our online sales reporting painless for our accounting and compliance officers; creating a substantial payroll/consultant savings. I can't wait to see what new features you come up with next!"

Let's start with that most important of romantic moments: "First Kiss" performed by Brian McGee and Krum.
For those of you who are on the Anti-Valentine's Day side of the debate, here's Sara Lengel covering a song about all the things you'd rather be than have your heart broken again.
Way back in 2010, Whitney Miller performed this love song about rewriting a love song.
Dillon Broxson performs a tune with a sentiment that can almost fit on one of those chalky candy hearts.
Did your love go very wrong? Here's a video of Jessica Dennison -- one of the most popular of the series -- performing a song about love beyond the "Grave."
Here's a final thought from Mad Mike, which seems for everyone who feels like the Valentine's Day ritual is getting a little predictable.
And, as an added bonus, here's video from the Anti-Valentine's Day flash mob last year.

Day 1
Fly to Evenes via Oslo, transfer to Sortland (approx. 2 hrs). Sortland is located on the island of Langoya, one of the largest islands in Norway.
Day 2
Surviving in the arctic has been a way of life in Northern Norway for centuries. Having the right equipment, both in terms of clothing and navigation, is crucial. Today we will be introduced to the practical skills needed to explore the winter landscape and to what every day life might be like on an arctic trip. There is no better playground to try out the skills of route selection, how to start a fire or even wilderness cooking. We then return to our hotel at the end of the day.
On four evenings we will go out in search of the Northern Lights. Our leader will be monitoring the weather conditions to pick the most suitable time, and as soon as the opportunity arrives we will go in search of this magical light show. Though this can never be guaranteed, visitors and residents in the Vesteralen Islands are often treated to spectacular displays thanks to their northerly location and lack of light pollution outside the main towns.
Day 3
Anstablaheia is one of the highest mountains in the Sortland area and this is our destination for today. Snowshoeing is a great way to experience this unforgettable arctic landscape and capture the feeling of nature at its most raw. The cares of modern life will seem a world away as we head for the summit to enjoy the views across the Vesteralen Islands. After a hot drink and a mountain lunch we start the journey back.
Day 4
Some say the winter is the most colourful time of year in these islands, as the sky changes hue as the morning gives way to afternoon and in turn twilight, before the onset of night. The contrast of these colours with the brilliant white of the snow covered landscape make this a wonderful place to explore. In Norway, cross-country skiing is one of the best ways to do this and allows us to enjoy the scenery and vistas on offer. There are many wel lit trails in the area, allowing us to make the most of our day; one of the most popular stretches southwards from Sortland towards Kleiva.
We start from our hotel and set off for the trail, to pick up our skis and receive instruction to pick up the basics before setting off on a tour. Unlike donwhill skis, the skis are long and thin, the toe of the skier's footwear is attached to the ski with a binding, while the heel remains free.
We will break for lunch halfway round to recharge the batteries. Among the highlights today will be the views over Sortland sundet - Sortland Sound - and the fjord.
Day 5
Reindeer farming has been a huge part of life in the Arctic Circle for centuries and the Vesteralen Islands are no different.Today we meet Arild and Laila, local Sami reindeer farmers and take a walking tour to see if we can spot reindeer and moose in the wild. We then head into their lavo (Sami tent) to learn about their fascinating culture, history and lifestyle, around a roaring fire.
Day 6
There is a huge amount to see and do here, so this day is free to explore the 'Blue City' of Sortland or to choose from the list of local excursions. Prices can depend on group numbers, but a particularly memorable day would be to take a kayak safari from one of the small fishing villages on the island. This is an excellent way to see some of the varied birdlife of the islands, including puffins, guillemots and white-tailed eagles.
Day 7
No trip into the Arctic Circle would be complete without trying one of the most iconic winter activities, dogsledding. Our rendezvous point is in a lavvo for tea or coffee before getting to know the dogs and learn the basics of driving a sled. We then take a trip through the glorious surroundings pulled by our willing team. Depending on group size we may need to share sleds during the day but everyone will get the chance to test out their mushing skills.
Day 8
Transfer to Evenes; fly to London via Oslo.

10 Year Anniversary Snowboards!
Thanks to Unity Snowboards for doing an amazing job building out snowboards again this year!
Our Reverse series boards are excellent all mountain boards. These boards are twin tip shapes with twin flex patterns. Our reverse camber design has a small amount of camber between the feet and then angles up at flat angles from the foot area. There is about 6mm of rise on the nose and tail, which makes for a subtle amount of reverse camber.
Reverse camber boards are incredible to ride in deep snow. They float easily and the rider can ride a centered stance and still float really well in powder. The reverse camber also makes the boards really loose feeling on the snow. That makes them really forgiving for butter tricks and slashing around the mountain. Our reverse camber design is subtle meaning that the rise of the nose and tail off of the snow is not too high. This allows them to carve and hold an edge on hard snow even though they are reverse camber.

Obamacare – Make No Mistake…The WORLD is Watching
Wednesday, November 20th, 2013Fallout from Obama's man-made disaster, Obamacare, is not limited to those Americans being cancelled by their insurance carriers.
The fallout is not limited to the economy.
It's not limited to the white house or the liberal/socialist party or agenda either.
There is fallout that nobody is talking about and the ramifications of it are dire.
Dire to national security and dire to international security as well.
And, to be certain, the fallout is not just from Obamacare as Obamacare is nothing more than a microcosm of the real problem.
The problem is trust.
Obama doesn't have it. His polls are falling by the day as more and more Americans are waking up to the fact that he is unworthy of trust but the polls don't show the whole story.
For 5 long years, Obama and his administration have been plagued by what HE has called…"PHONY SCANDALS" and while you can fool some of the people SOME of the time, we know that one can't fool ALL of the people ALL of the time.
Our allies, around the world have been watching.
As the NSA was spying on THEM…

David Letterman[edit]
The show replaced The Tomorrow Show, hosted by Tom Snyder, on Mondays through Thursdays.
Late Night originated from NBC Studio 6A at the RCA (later GE) Building at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The program ran four nights a week, Monday to Thursday, from the show's premiere in February 1982 until May 1987. Friday shows were added in June 1987 (NBC previously aired Friday Night Videos in the 12:30 am slot with occasional Late Night specials and reruns). Starting in September 1991, The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson was pushed back from 11:30 pm to 11:35 pm, with Letterman starting at 12:35 am, at the request of NBC affiliates who wanted more advertising time for their profitable late newscasts.
In mid-1993, E! Entertainment Television purchased broadcast rights to Late Night. The network aired complete shows from various years five days per week from 1993 until 1996. Then Trio (owned by NBC) picked up reruns and showed them from 2002 until the channel went off the air in 2005.
A number of programs were sold by GoodTimes Entertainment in 1992–93. These episodes were stripped of the series theme, open and close. No DVD release is currently scheduled (GoodTimes went bankrupt in 2005).
A total of 1,819 shows were broadcast during its eleven and a half year run (an episode on January 16, 1991 went unaired due to pre-emption for coverage the beginning of the Gulf War; the program had already been shot before word came out of Baghdad that United States airstrikes were beginning).
Peter Ustinov was a guest on the one-shot "upside down" episode, during which the camera, mounted on a slowly revolving wheel, gradually rotated the picture 360 degrees during the course of an hour; Ustinov appeared midway through and was photographed upside down in close-up as he spoke while his host only appeared in long shots.
Letterman, who had hoped to get the hosting job of The Tonight Show following Johnny Carson's retirement, moved to CBS in 1993, when the job was given to Jay Leno. This was done against the wishes of Carson who had always seen Letterman as his rightful successor, according to CBS senior vice president Peter Lassally, a onetime producer for both men.[2] On April 25, 1993, Lorne Michaels chose Conan O'Brien, who was a writer for The Simpsons at the time and a former writer for Michaels at Saturday Night Live, to fill Letterman's old seat, directly after The Tonight Show. Conan O'Brien began hosting a new show in Letterman's old timeslot, taking over the Late Night name.
Conan O'Brien[edit]
Upon Johnny Carson's retirement from The Tonight Show in 1992, executives at NBC announced that Carson's frequent guest-host Jay Leno would be Carson's replacement, and not David Letterman. NBC later said that Letterman's high ratings for Late Night were the reason they kept him where he was. Letterman was bitterly disappointed and angry at not having been given The Tonight Show job and, at Carson's advice, he left NBC after eleven years on Late Night. CBS signed Letterman to host his own show opposite The Tonight Show. He moved his show over to CBS virtually unchanged, taking most of the staff, skits, and comedy formats with him. However, NBC owned the rights to the Late Night name, forcing Letterman to rechristen his show as Late Show with David Letterman.
NBC was faced with an unexpected need to replace not just Letterman, but Late Night itself. The network still owned the name, but needed to essentially build a new show from scratch. The show was first offered to Dana Carvey and Garry Shandling, both of whom turned it down.[3] Saturday Night Live producer Lorne Michaels was brought in to develop the new show, and comedians Jon Stewart, Drew Carey, and Paul Provenza auditioned.[3] Michaels suggested to O'Brien, an unknown writer for The Simpsons and former writer for Saturday Night Live, that he should audition for the job. Despite having "about 40 seconds"[4] of television-performance experience as an occasional extra on Saturday Night Live sketches, O'Brien auditioned for the show on April 13, 1993. His guests were Jason Alexander and Mimi Rogers, and the audition took place on the set of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[3] O'Brien was offered the show on April 26, 1993, and made his first meaningful television appearance later that day when Leno introduced him on Tonight.[4] On the final episode of his 16-year run, O'Brien stated that he "owed his career to Lorne Michaels".
O'Brien's Late Night was rushed into production and debuted on September 13, 1993, with Andy Richter as O'Brien's sidekick. The premiere episode featured John Goodman (who received a "First Guest" medal for his appearance), Drew Barrymore, and Tony Randall. The episode featured a cold open of O'Brien's walk to the studio with constant reminders that he was expected to live up to Letterman, parodying a popular sentiment expressed in the media at the time. After seeming to be unaffected by the comments, O'Brien arrives at his dressing room and cheerfully prepares to hang himself. However, a warning that the show is about to start causes him to abandon his plans. The crowd for the first show mainly consisted of family members of the crew of the show so as to ensure a positive reception.[citation needed]
O'Brien's on-camera inexperience showed and the show's first fourteen weeks were generally considered mediocre.[3] O'Brien, an unknown, was constantly at risk of being fired: NBC had him renewing short-term contracts, thirteen weeks at a time.[3] He was reportedly on the brink of being fired at least once in this period, but NBC had no one to replace him. The show, and O'Brien, slowly improved through experience, and the show's ratings gradually increased to a level which allowed O'Brien to secure a longer contract, and not have to worry about cancellation.
In 2000, Richter left Late Night to pursue his acting career. The show's comedy bits and banter had usually depended on O'Brien's interaction with Richter. O'Brien's wacky non sequitur comedy became more pronounced as he played all of his comedy and commentary directly to the audience instead of towards Richter.
Ratings and reviews continued to improve for Late Night, and in 2002, when time came to renew his contract, O'Brien had notable offers from other networks to defect.[5] O'Brien decided to re-sign with NBC, however, joking that he initially wanted to make a 13-week deal (a nod to his first contract). He ultimately signed through 2005, indicating that it was symbolic of surpassing Letterman's run with 12 years of hosting.[5]
In 2003, O'Brien's own production company, Conaco, was added as a producer of Late Night. The show celebrated its 10th anniversary, another milestone that O'Brien said he wanted to achieve with his 2002 contract. During the anniversary show, Mr. T handed O'Brien a chain with a large gold "7" on it.
Mr. T: I know that, fool, but you only been funny for seven![6]
The show's house band was The Max Weinberg 7, led by E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg, who also served as a sounding board for O'Brien on the show (more so after Andy Richter's departure). The other six members were Mark Pender on trumpet, Richie "LaBamba" Rosenberg on trombone, Mike Merritt on bass, Jerry Vivino on saxophone and brother Jimmy Vivino on guitar, and Scott Healy on keyboard. James Wormworth served as backup drummer when Weinberg went on tour with Bruce Springsteen. With the departure of Andy Richter, Max Weinberg assumed a bigger role as an interlocutor for O'Brien's jokes. One common running gag was Max's awkwardness on camera and his apparent lack of chemistry with Conan. Weinberg was often used in sketches as well, which usually revolved around his purported sexual deviance (mostly a penchant for bedding barely legal groupies), although long running sketches also spoofed Max's lack of knowledge of current affairs.
Richie "LaBamba" Rosenberg was also used as the butt of many of Conan's jokes. These humorous sketches usually revolved around LaBamba's sizeable mustache, his poor acting skills, and his alleged inability to read sheet music. Mark Pender would often sing songs on the topic of a current event, which ended with him screeching uncontrollably and climbing the risers into the audience. All members of the 7 had successful side careers as studio musicians.
As is common in the talk show format, The Max Weinberg 7 performed the show's opening and closing themes, played bumpers into and out of commercial breaks (they actually played through the entire break for the studio audience), and a short piece during O'Brien's crossover to his desk after his monologue (except for several months beginning in April 2008, where a commercial break was inserted at that point). The show's opening theme was written by Howard Shore and John Lurie (a finalist for the job as bandleader). The show's closing theme was called "Cornell Knowledge", and was lifted from Jerry and Jimmy Vivino's first album together. However, on Late Night, it was played at a much quicker tempo than the album version.
The band played a wide variety of songs as bumpers – usually popular music from a variety of eras. Weinberg sometimes took extended leaves of absence to tour with Bruce Springsteen as the drummer for his E Street Band. During his absence, temporary replacement drummers were hired (most commonly James Wormworth), and the band was led by Jimmy Vivino ("Jimmy Vivino and the Max Weinberg 7").
Joel Godard, a long-time announcer for NBC shows, was the show's announcer and an occasional comedy contributor. These comedy bits usually revolved around Godard's supposed homosexual fetishes, deviant sexual habits, substance abuse, and suicidal tendencies. The humor came in part from Godard's delivery. No matter how depressing or deviant the topic being discussed he always did so in an exaggeratedly cheerful voice, and with a huge smile plastered on his face. Several sketches ended with Godard apparently committing suicide in his announcer's booth.
Members of the show's writing staff frequently appeared in sketches on the show. Among the most prolific were: Brian McCann (Preparation H Raymond, FedEx Pope, The Loser, Airsick Moth, Jerry Butters, Funhole Guy, Bulletproof Legs Guy, Adrian "Raisin" Foster, S&M Lincoln, etc.), Brian Stack (Hannigan the Traveling Salesman, Artie Kendall the Ghost Crooner, The Interrupter, Kilty McBagpipes, Fan-tastic Guy, Clive Clemmons, Frankenstein, Ira, Slipnut Brian, etc.), Jon Glaser (Segue Sam, Pubes, Awareness Del, Wrist Hulk, Ahole Ronald, Gorton's Fisherman, Jeremy, Slipnut Jon, etc.), Kevin Dorff (Coked-up Werewolf, Jesus Christ, Mansy the half-man/half-pansy, Joe's Bartender, Todd the Tiny Guy, etc.), and Andy Blitz (Awful Ballgame Chanter, Vin Diesel's brother Leonard Diesel, Slipnut Andy, Chuck Aloo aka the star of the 24 spin-off series 60). Blitz went so far as to travel to India for one bit in which he carried his computer through the streets of India to get technical support firsthand from the telephone representative at NBC's technical help center. One of the show's graphic designers, Pierre Bernard was featured several sketches, such as: "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage", and "Nerding It Up For Pierre".
Late Night employed a number of sketch actors, many of whom were frequently reused in different roles in different episodes. Several years before joining the cast of Saturday Night Live, Amy Poehler often appeared as a regular in many sketches, she was best remembered for playing the role of Andy Richter's little sister, Stacy. Jack McBrayer frequently appeared as well. Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog began as part of a sketch on Late Night. Celebrities such as Dr. Joyce Brothers, Nipsey Russell, Abe Vigoda and James Lipton also made frequent cameo appearances in comedy sketches on the show at different periods.
Unusual for a late-night talk show, Late Night made frequent use of various costumed characters such as The Masturbating Bear, Robot on a Toilet, and Pimpbot5000. The humor in these sketches often derived from the crude construction of the characters' costumes as well as the absurdist nature of their conceptions. For example, Pimpbot5000 was a 1950s-style robot who dressed and acted in the manner of an exaggerated blaxploitation pimp, while The Masturbating Bear was a man in a bear costume wearing an oversized diaper who would inevitably begin to fondle himself to the tune of Aram Khachaturian's "Sabre Dance" when brought on stage. Many of these characters did little more in their appearances than walk across the stage or be wheeled out from behind the curtain, but some had extensive sketches on the show.
As part of O'Brien's 2004 contract renegotiation with NBC, he was tapped to replace Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show five years later, in the summer of 2009. O'Brien's last Late Night was taped and aired on February 20, 2009. He indeed succeeded Leno and renamed the show The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on June 1, 2009, and resigned as host just over seven months later, a result of the 2010 Tonight Show conflict.
O'Brien's last season on Late Night attracted an average of 1.98 million viewers, compared to 1.92 million viewers for The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.[7]
Jimmy Fallon[edit]
Executive producer Lorne Michaels said he wanted Fallon to be the new host dating back to the day that Fallon left Saturday Night Live in 2004,[8] which occurred only a few months before O'Brien's departure was announced.[9] According to Michaels:[8]
" | Jimmy's built for this kind of show. He's funny, he's charming, he's got a really good way of connecting with people. And he knows music, movies and TV really well, which is the backbone of these shows. | " |
During the years between Fallon's SNL departure and the announcement that he would take over Late Night, Fallon concentrated on developing a feature film career, which Fallon himself said "really didn't work out that great."[8]
Fallon was announced as O'Brien's replacement in May 2008; at the time of the announcement, he was scheduled to debut in June 2009.[10] To help him prepare for his new Late Night host role, Michaels had Fallon perform comedy in clubs and create a series of webisodes.[8] A behind-the-scenes vlog documenting preparations for the new show launched on December 8, 2008, with new episodes being posted weeknights at 12:30 am ET.[citation needed]
Fallon's house band was hip-hop band The Roots,[11] and his announcer was Steve Higgins, a producer for Saturday Night Live.[12] The show is produced by Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video in association with NBC's Universal Media Studios.
The program originated from NBC Studio 6B (the original home of The Tonight Show, but which had housed the WNBC news studios since Johnny Carson had moved his show to NBC Studios in California in 1972.[11]) in the GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City, until August 10, 2013. From August 13, 2013 until its final edition on February 7, 2014, the show originated from Studio 6A (where Letterman and O'Brien had hosted their iterations of Late Night) to accommodate the renovation of 6B in preparation for Fallon's eventual move to The Tonight Show.
Fallon premiered on March 2, 2009, with Robert De Niro, Justin Timberlake and Van Morrison appearing as his guests. Former Late Night host Conan O'Brien also made a cameo appearance.[13]
The Late Night with Jimmy Fallon logo is based on the typeface Bureau Grotesque. NBC failed to correctly license the font program, causing them to be sued by the copyright holder of that program, Font Bureau, Inc. for software copyright infringement,[14] although fonts alone cannot be copyrighted.[15]
Fallon hosted his final episode of Late Night on February 7, 2014, when he welcomed Andy Samberg as his final guest. After a brief retrospective with Higgins about their time on Late Night, the show ended with Fallon playing drums and singing backup to "The Weight" behind an ensemble of The Muppets. Upon the conclusion of the song, Fallon exited Studio 6A and walked silently down the hall to Studio 6B, through a door featuring his Tonight Show logo, where his cast and crew awaited him with an ovation.[16]
Seth Meyers[edit]
On May 12, 2013, NBC officially announced that Seth Meyers will take over Late Night in 2014 when Fallon takes over The Tonight Show.[17]
Meyers' first episode of Late Night premiered February 24, 2014. His version of the show originates from NBC Studio 8G in the GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City.
The house band for Meyers' iteration of Late Night will be "The 8G Band", led by Meyers' former Saturday Night Live castmate Fred Armisen.
