High Performance Nursing

A safe space for clinicians to achieve their highest potential.

From Busy to Bored

In today's episode, we dive deep into the topic of boredom and its often underestimated power. We explored the idea of sitting with boredom, questioning why it is seen as a problem, and embracing the space it creates for curiosity and personal reflection. I also shared my own theory on the subject, shedding light on the societal norm of busyness that often prevents us from truly connecting with ourselves. I shared stories from my experience as a clinician, where chronic stress and trauma have become the norm, but the importance of self-care and creating space for boredom still remains. As we unravel the connection between boredom, resilience, and personal growth, join us in rediscovering the value of embracing these moments of stillness and reevaluating our relationship with busyness.Key takeaways:01:41 - Self-care is essential; prioritize your well-being05:30 - Boredom is not always a problem.12:06 - Busy-ness vs. stress conditioning.13:44 - Understanding our dysregulated nature leads to self-care.19:34 - Embrace boredom, find brilliance in empty space.24:51 - High stress career leads to burnout and trauma.28:19 - Normalize boredom, feel emotions, avoid burnout.33:21 - Promote homeostasis and compassion in our culture.38:11 - Invest in personal development for better health.39:16 - Building mental and emotional capacity is crucial for success.Want to land your graduate nursing role with ease?Didn't land your grad?

Reclaiming Your Power in Nursing

In this podcast, I discuss the concept of reclaiming your power as a nurse and living on your own terms. I highlight how our inner critic can sabotage us and how traditional nursing practices may no longer be relevant in today's changing world. I emphasize the importance of seeking clarity from within ourselves rather than relying on external sources. Throughout the podcast, I introduce a tool called the CTFAR coaching framework, which helps us understand the connection between our thoughts, feelings, actions, and results. By applying this tool, we can take control of our thinking and create positive change in our lives.Key Takeaways:01:16 Nursing on Your Own Terms02:25 Challenging Conditioning in Healthcare03:34 The Power of Interrupting Neural Pathways06:19 The CTFAR Coaching Framework08:45 The Influence of Thoughts on Feelings and Actions11:25 Choosing to Think and Act13:08 The Importance of Self-AwarenessWant to land your graduate nursing role with ease?Didn't land your grad?
