NursePreneur Academy

Burnout and overwhelm have almost always been a certainty in the nursing industry. Despite our training to care for our patients, we aren’t necessarily equipped to deal with and manage burnout as a nurse.

We are joined in this week’s episode by the wonderful nurse Michelle Gordon, founder of the Health and Happiness Formula and the Healthy Happy Nurse! We talked about her fantastic experience exploring oneself, developing self-awareness, and navigating through burnout and overwhelm.

Finding the path to freeing ourselves from burnout and overwhelm takes a lot of work and seeking out the support of people we can trust. The result is being able to create a life you love aligned with your goals, dreams, and desires.

If you feel stuck in a rut or perhaps even sometimes find yourself drowning in anxiety, and you want to start the journey to being free from burnout and overwhelm- this episode is perfect for you!

03:20 - Insights about moving around and exploring new things

05:45 - Day in life as an Emergency Nurse

Contrary to popular belief, your career as a nurse is not as predictable as you may think. In this episode with Career Success Coach Anj Di Falco, we draw inspiration from her path from being an EN, transitioning to RN, and now working as a coach within our GCLP and ASP programs!

With over 16 years’ experience, she worked with me to find her career why, learn how to self-coach and started seeing massive shifts in her life and her career, as a result of the CCAP program. 

Fast forward 8 months and Anj now works as a career success coach within all of our programs, sharing her amazing experience with our nursing clients – all 16 years of it!!

I wanted to introduce you to Anj so that you could see how amazing she is and how valuable her insights, support and coaching may be for you!

Working as a nurse and midwife in the modern healthcare system is certainly a challenge, typically because as clinicians, we are ill-equipped to thrive within the complex system that is healthcare!

This week in High Performance Nursing, we’ll discuss with Clinical Psychologist and Founder of the Nurse Wellbeing Mission, Nathan Illman, the value of self-care, well-being, and our shared vision for organizational support for nurses and midwives.

Caring for our mental health, having an encouraging workplace, and building a robust culture are some of the few steps we can take to ensure that our nurses can perform at their best!

Nathan shares his top tips as a nurse and midwife ally, drawing from his lived experience in the system as both a clinical peer and a family member. Nathan was inspired by the amazing work that nurses and midwives do, kickstarting his desire to use his psychology and coaching skills to positively influence the system! 

Ultimately, the goal is not to become the best worker out there, but to be the best version of yourself as a human first, nurse second. It’s time to dig deep and understand that those who deliver care must also experience care, even from themselves.

All this and more in this exciting discussion! Tune in and enjoy the conversation.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• Realizing the challenges for nurses (5:00)

Nurses are some of the busiest people on the planet. Between managing patient care and dealing with paperwork, there’s precious little time for self-care. However, if you want to be your best both at work and at home, it’s important to take some time for yourself. 

In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I am sharing with you the importance of self-coaching for nurses and how it can improve the industry. While self-coaching may seem like a daunting task, it’s actually quite simple. 

Personally, I am a big fan of self-coaching. I find that it helps me to stay focused and motivated, both at work and in my personal life. Self-coaching also allows me to reflect on my achievements and learn from my mistakes. 

As nurses, we are constantly bombarded with tasks and responsibilities. It can be easy to get bogged down and feel like you’re just going through the motions. However, by taking a step back and coaching yourself, you can gain a new perspective on your work. 

If you’re interested in learning more about self-coaching, check out this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing.

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• How can self-coaching help the nursing industry (01:14)
• The benefits of coaching (03:37)
• Steps to self-coaching (08:01)

• Finding the facts in a situation (13:19)

If there's one thing that nurses have to deal with on a daily basis, it's uncertainty. From patients who may be suddenly deteriorating to doctors who constantly change their orders. Nurses are constantly having to adapt and respond to new situations. 

In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I am sharing with you how to deal with uncertainties as a nurse. While dealing with uncertainty can sometimes be challenging, it's also what makes nursing so interesting and rewarding.

Uncertainty is a fact of life, and it's something that we all have to deal with on a daily basis. Whether it's uncertainty about our health, our relationships, or our future, it's always there. 

While some people may find uncertainty to be stressful, I actually find it to be exciting. I see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. After all, if we never faced any challenges or uncertainties, life would be pretty boring, wouldn't it?

So how do we deal with uncertainty, especially as a nurse? Tune in to find out!

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• What is uncertainty? (00:25)
• Recognising that life is always uncertain (04:18)
• The circle of concern (06:37)
• The circle of influence (11:00)
• The importance of planning ahead of time (15:58)
• Becoming the watcher of your thoughts (20:12)
