The nursing profession is in crisis.  Within a decade, the world will have just over half the number of nurses it needs.  The global nursing workforce has experienced mass, complex trauma secondary to healthcare system inadequacies and a global pandemic.   Traumatized and burned out nurses are leaving their roles or the profession in unprecedented numbers.  Those who remain are stretched to or beyond their capacity.  While system-level strategies aim to address this crisis, none of them consider nurse traumatization and its impact upon patient safety, outcomes, and quality of care.  We cannot wait for health systems to prioritize nurse safety. Nurses can and must come together as a global community to heal through avoidable and unavoidable nurse-specific traumatization while partnering with healthcare leaders to usher in a new era of nursing.

This book, through an actionable framework, guides nurses in healing the traumas and hardships they’ve endured as individuals and nursing communities.  Grounded in the sciences of unitary caring, integrative nursing, neurophysiology, and transpersonal neurobiology, this book supports nurses in restoring their healers’ heart as they come together to address the deep trauma, burnout, attrition, and presenteeism that are central to the nursing crisis. Nurses will learn the language of their nervous system and how to navigate it as a foundational practice to support professional wellbeing.  Each nurse will discover their unique innate care plan, which will guide their healing and co-healing with other nurses.  By embracing the healing and practices offered in this book, nurses will learn how to support their nervous system regulation so they can thrive instead of survive in practice.  Working from their healed scars instead of their open wounds, nurses can effectively lead sustainable organizational change and health care reforms that prioritize nurse safety and professional wellbeing.

Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2017, Scott faced debilitating symptoms that impacted his daily life, including muscle rigidity, tremors, and intense sleep disturbances. Rather than resigning to a progressive decline, he took an unconventional route, combining high-intensity physical and cognitive exercises to effectively “train his brain” and regain control. Through CrossFit, Scott found a program that paired physical intensity with cognitive challenge, dramatically reversing his symptoms and leaving him 95% symptom-free—an outcome that has amazed his neurologists. 

Scott delves into his transformative journey from his initial Parkinson’s diagnosis to becoming 95% symptom-free, challenging traditional medical expectations along the way. He shares the pivotal moments that reshaped his mindset, the unconventional methods he adopted—like combining CrossFit and cognitive exercises—and the impact of these practices on his life. This conversation covers Scott's belief in the power of mindset, the importance of self-advocacy in health, and his hope to inspire others facing chronic illness to redefine their potential.

He started my professional journey as an administrative and technical writing professional, but then moved into working with people, first as a Licensed Massage Therapist, where he realized that the most rewarding part of the work was listening to clients’ life stories.
