Exhausting schedules and a tumultuous work environment have left many nurses feeling burned out. The COVID-19 pandemic only compounded problems that have been plaguing nurses for decades. How can you take care of others when you don't have the time or energy to take care of yourself? In Courageous Well-Being for Nurses, Advanced Practice Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse, psychotherapist, and educator Donna Gaffney and National Board-certified health and wellness coach Nicole Foster provide essential strategies and resources.
Informed by inspirational stories and real-life guidance from nurses around the world, this book provides you with the steps to thrive personally and professionally. Gaffney and Foster research and describe how to cope with stress, burnout, grief, and empathic distress; the power of self-compassion and mindfulness; current findings on eating, sleeping, and exercising well; science-based practices for alleviating stress through nature; the benefits of professional mental health support; the profoundly healing effects of advocacy and activism; and how to use the arts and creativity as sources of respite and joy.
Courageous Well-Being for Nurses is the ultimate journey to well-being: one that is essential, inclusive, deep-rooted, individual, and above all, courageous.
