Ah-Has

“There's so much that needs to be done, so much change that needs to happen. How will we ever do it? And then I step back and it's like, one Nurse at a time, one situation at a time, one ripple will start making that change. And then it doesn't seem so overwhelming, I think.” ~Karen Day, MSN, RN, NC-BC

•  We can make change, one Nurse at a time, one situation at a time
• Our younger Nurses are training younger Nurses as preceptors, teachers, and mentors.  Many of them don’t have lots of experience.  How can we support them with more grace, acceptance and resources
• Nursing needs to create a culture shift to truly support each other without judgement.  We can do this by honoring our past, learning from it, acknowledging it and shifting towards more self-care, resources, and each other
• The pressure of perfection does not always support us and can be a pathway to burnout, and Nurses leaving the profession
• Creating sacred spaces, where anything goes, where anything can be said, where it is safe to share and discuss.  This is different than a route cause analysis, or a clinical debrief, however… there is potential to create a sacred space in those areas too!
• Acknowledge the strengths in each other.  Acknowledge that you see another Nurse struggling, and ask them how you can help
• What can help you feel better?  Mindfulness?  Movement? Time alone?  Time with friends?  Going outside? 
• Including Nurse Coaching in all Nursing curriculum will support Nurses better on their journey
