I would recommend this book to all my nursing colleagues and students. I always emphasize how important it is to take care of your own well-being when you are caring for others. This book has a wealth of resources, practices, and suggestions all in one place that can really aid student nurses to build a practice before they even fully enter the profession.
Courageous Well-Being for Nurses is a comprehensive guide designed to assist nurses in enhancing their well-being, mitigating burnout, and thriving both personally and professionally. It blends scientific insights with practical strategies and real-life guidance, rendering it an invaluable resource for nurses who seek to prioritize their mental and emotional health while continuing to provide exemplary care to others.
Well-written and applies to nurses in any practice setting.... What makes this title more unique is the nursing voice and stories.
Donna Gaffney and Nicole Foster have curated first-hand reflections from nurses in the trenches of COVID. Courageous Well-Being provides actionable steps to counter-balance the extraordinary pressures nurses found themselves mired in during the global pandemic. Nurses have reclaimed their power through the devastation of COVID. This book celebrates nursing's renewal.
We say it over and over again that nurses can't care for others if they don't care for themselves. Offering nurses tried and proven ways of doing the self-care they need is another matter altogether. This book does just that and I have no doubt will be the go-to book for nurses and those who train them for many years to come.
These pages powerfully illuminate how self-reflection, storytelling, the latest science, learning activities, and collective action can support nurses to rebuild and grow from even the most difficult circumstances. An urgent call to action, this wayfinding both requires and builds courage, without hiding from the hard truths of nursing work.
Courageous Well-Being for Nurses is a must-read for all nurses across practice, education, and policy settings. This groundbreaking book captures the extraordinary courage, commitment, leadership, and sacrifices made by nurses during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. These compelling stories are masterfully interwoven with evidence-based wellness strategies and essential resources for all nurses.
