"In the Nurse coaching certificate course, we definitely learned about mindfulness. And you know, that sounds maybe trivial to somebody who's not familiar with Nurse coaching. Sure, we know mindfulness is research fact and very effective, but it just goes so much deeper than that.

You know, we don't often as Nurses, allow ourselves enough time, time with our patients, time with ourselves, time to breathe, time to drink water, to take a rest, so allowing time and space to transpire, to let our bodies catch up with ourselves, to really hear what our patients are saying, you know, or what they're not saying.

Time is... I really think mindfulness and time are so connected that we can be mindful, intentionally mindful, if we allow ourselves more time. So that is a big one. You know, I think that's a big one in this busy healthcare space, allowing more time or creating a way to allow for more of that." ~Maggie Gardner RN, BSN, HWNC-BC, CH-C

Ah Ha Moments

• As Nurses, we can do things to numb our emotional experiences- social media, alcohol, drugs, ignoring the things we experience - this is not serving you, it never has- maybe there is another way...
• There are so many pathways you can choose to take in your professional and personal life- go in the direction that lights you up- that is the best way to go- even if it's scary
• Your sensitive heart is exactly what is needed to shift the way the healthcare system is being run! You are exactly where you need to be, right now. Continue to show up- we need you- exactly as you are

“…the problem and what is driving Nurses from the profession in droves like never seen before— please don't talk to me about attrition, well, yes, that's a factor—the world is hemorrhaging Nurses. And that's a quote from Dr. Terrance Hill, medical sociologist, the world is hemorrhaging Nurses and the root cause for that, it's not about burnout.

And please stop gaslighting Nurses about burnout resilience. Please just stop. The reason. The root cause, according to my research, five years, four disciplines, is avoidable, Nurse Specific Traumatization. And this would be this historical trauma, where we are unknowingly transmitting." ~ Dr. Lorre Laws PhD, RN

Ah Ha Moments

• All Nurses have, (or will have) experienced trauma
• Enough blame on Nurses. Healthcare system, wake up! Instead of putting the blame on your employees, let’s address the systemic problems that are causes of avoidable traumas… understaffing, bullying, violence, not addressing high acuity, lack of resources and still demanding exceptional care and more…
• Thinking that solving burnout will fix all Nursing problems is all wrong, what if what we’re experiencing is because of trauma exposure? That the actions and responses we see in ourselves, and our colleagues are because the traumas are being stored in our bodies, minds and spirits
• We must learn about how trauma can and has affected us, and make this common language, and learn how to help ourselves so we can begin to heal and insulate our nervous systems from further injury

82: Uplifting Messages from the Universe! Annie Jones PhD, MBA, MSN, RN, AOCN, NC-BC Highlights

“I thank the universe and have much gratitude. I think what's on my heart is that community is so important.

And it's our own responsibility for ourselves, and to remember that when we see another member of our community— so in other words, our Nursing group, our Nurse coaches in particular— is that we're a sister and brotherhood, and we have to reach out to keep ourselves together in a world that is designed, at the moment, to tear us from all ends.” ~ Annie Jones PhD, MBA, MSN, RN, AOCN, NC-BC
