My work as a coach primarily focuses on nurses, and yet I can't help but notice the similarities between nurses and mothers. And often my clients are one and the same. (I'm not intentionally excluding dads and non-female nurses- this can apply to them too.) Both nurses and moms are suited for managing chaotic environments. They function on little sleep and often put the needs of others ahead of their own. They make sure their charges are clean, fed and relatively well-dressed. They manage the tasks of everyone around them and lift up the entire group. But while they're busy taking care of everyone else, what is happening to them? When and how are they meeting their own needs? Do they even know what those are? There is societal value in selflessly giving- both nurses and mothers are prized for their endless generosity. And yet, they're also human. The human body can only do so much before it starts to retaliate, and what happens then? If any of this resonates with you, whether you are a nurse, mother, or neither, click here: https://lnkd.in/g3e92mvU. It doesn't have to be so hard, and you don't have to do it alone. #nurse #healthcare #humanfirstnursesecond #motherhood #parenting #burnout #nursesonlinkedin

🎉 Happy Third Day of National Nurse Week! 🎉 As we continue our seven days of self-care for nurses, let's take a moment to emphasize the importance of prioritizing self-care. Nurses, your dedication to caring for others is admirable, but it's essential to remember to care for yourselves as well. Today's self-care tip is all about sightseeing in the city – if time and weather permit, take a break and explore your surroundings! Sightseeing isn't just about enjoying the sights – it's also a powerful way to recharge and rejuvenate. Getting out and exploring can help reduce stress, boost mood, and increase creativity. Plus, spending time outdoors has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including improved mental well-being and increased vitamin D levels. So, whether it's a stroll through a local park, a visit to a nearby landmark, or simply taking a different route on your way home, take some time today to sightsee and soak in the beauty around you. Your well-being matters, and investing in self-care is key to maintaining balance and resilience in your demanding profession. 🌆💙 #NationalNurseWeek #SelfCareForNurses #Sightseeing #NurseWellness #nursesonlinkedin #scrubsworldandmoresupport

✅𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞'𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧👇 In a world often overwhelmed with fast-paced routines and technology, there are moments that stand out as genuine and heartfelt. One such moment is when a nurse, often considered the unsung hero of healthcare, displays extraordinary compassion. The phrase “The nurse is a real angel” perfectly captures the essence of these selfless individuals. Nurses go beyond their professional duties, becoming emotional pillars for patients and their families during vulnerable times. This particular nurse’s reaction was not only heartwarming but also priceless. Whether it was through a simple gesture, a comforting word, or an empathetic glance, her response was one that could bring comfort and peace to anyone in need. Nurses often work long hours under immense stress, yet many continue to display a deep sense of kindness and care that feels almost angelic. The impact of such a nurse extends far beyond the immediate act. Patients often carry these memories with them, remembering how a nurse’s compassion made a difficult time more bearable. It’s these moments that remind us of the power of human connection and the importance of kindness in healthcare. Truly, the nurse’s angelic reaction is not just a reflection of her professionalism, but of her humanity. follow me for more such__Rihan ahmad #CompassionInCare #NursesAreAngels #HealthcareHeroes #PricelessMoments

Resilience in Nursing "In the world of nursing, where the emergency bell rings more than a teenager's phone, resilience means mastering the art of eating lunch in under three minutes and diagnosing 'a case of the Mondays' on any given day. 🍔⏱️ Ever seen a nurse with a full bladder and an empty stomach perform a miracle? That's just a regular Tuesday. Nurses are the real MVPs, dodging bodily fluids like a ninja avoiding laser beams, all while keeping a smile that says, 'I've got this,' even if they're on their third cup of coffee. ☕️🥋 Resilience? It's speaking fluent doctor-handwriting, surviving the chaos with a sense of humor that could rival any stand-up comedian, and wearing 'eau de antiseptic' like it's the latest fragrance. Because in nursing, if you're not laughing, you're probably charting... or finally getting a chance to pee. 📝💧 So, here's to the nurses, the unsung heroes who can find humor in the madness and still deliver care with hearts as big as their coffee mugs. You're not just part of the team; you're the reason it keeps going. 🏥💖 #NursingLife #Resilience #HealthcareHumor #CoffeeAndChaos"

Here is one of our favourite vet tech/ nurses! Mikayla is now on parental leave now. Popping in for training, social occasions and dental treatment for her pet. Here is what we discussed before she went on Parental leave. Check out our chat here! https://lnkd.in/g2J_Xci4 Are you having these discussions with your team so that they know that you want them to return? We want them to come back because they are amazing and know your systems, team, clients, patients, and culture. In fact, they helped build it! There are some challenges to returning to work when one has a small child; we make provisions for them. One of the biggest is childcare, and I know there is a 2-year waiting list in some areas! However, one of the greatest things happening is parental care, where the father can also take time off work to raise their children. Times are changing, and we are ensuring that Mikayla can come to our clinic if and when she chooses to. Our profession cannot afford to lose these amazing and highly dedicated vet techs/ nurses. Click here to chat about how you, too, can have such a dedicated team member. https://lnkd.in/geDXDTnY
