Oooh, the burden of self-care!…it’s such an oxymoron, right?? Self-care is supposed to be relaxing, but trying to fit it into my life used to totally stress me out! What I used to think (and what you might believe, too) is that in order to make self-care doable, what I needed was more TIME. The problem is, more time is hard to come by…I have yet to figure out how to extend the days to 26 hours…But thankfully, I have figured out what I actually needed all along to make self-care happen (and hint: it was NOT more time). So to take the heaviness out of self-care, join me for this week’s podcast episode – self-care will feel so much lighter, more doable, and more ENJOYABLE.

Are you chronically understaffed? If so, how are you holding up? Whether you’re concerned, furious, or somewhere in between, today I’m going to help you see that hope isn’t lost. Join me in this episode to solve your staffing shortage, starting with the one staff member you’re responsible for – you.

That fact you’re listening to the Thriving Nurse podcast tells me quite clearly, you aren’t aiming to be a mediocre nurse. No, your goal is to be excellent. To go above and beyond. To be a rockstar. And while it may feel like there are too many roadblocks in your way for you to achieve stellar nurse status, your goal is actually much closer than you realize. Join me today as I coach a lovely Bold Nurse Society member on this very subject, and who knows, maybe you’ll have your own “ah-ha!” moments along with her.

You’ve got grit, you’re resourceful…but that doesn’t mean you need to do everything on your own.

And if you want a jaw-dropping transformation in your job, energy level, and happiness, getting expert support is the way to make that happen. Join me in this episode and let’s get you on the fast track to redesigning your life.

You’re rushing around from patient to patient, answering call bells, running to bed alarms…and then you look over and see your coworker hanging out on her phone. Ever happened to you?

While I can’t force your coworker to help out, I can give you all the power you need to make your shift run more smoothly.

Let’s make that dream job a reality!

Ready to lighten your load? Let’s go.
