Answering the question : What does "Good Nurse" mean to you? Thanks Mandy Irby, The Birth Nurse at sparking the conversation When I was a bedside nurse - Good nurse to me, meant providing hollistic care to my patients. It also meant advocating for them and empowering them to self advocate. Unfortunately, I didnt see caring for myself as "good". I thought it was selfish and it led to my somewhat resenting my work over time. As a nurse manager , "Good nurse", means helping my team contribute to creating a positive and healthy workplace by creating systems that foster effective communication and encourage personal wellbeing of staff. Its reminding staff to pace themself and take care of their health. That way they can have a long and rewarding career. Just like in the aeroplane safety briefing : Rather than placing the oxygen mask on the patient first, they put the oxygen mask on themself first. Where does this leave the patient? With good continuity of care and they are cared for in a place where they enjoy being because the environment is healthy and positive. What do you think ?

Does "Good Nurse" mean the same thing to ourselves, our patients, and our work places? And if not, how are you handling the many responsibilities? Which do you prioritize? Is it best to go home knowing you did all you could do for your patients, and that feels like a good job? Do you need feedback from your patient to know you did well? Is it more important to prioritize what your facility prioritizes? Are these definitions ever in conflict? I'm genuinely curious and feel like it's important to discuss the sometimes conflicting priorities that nurses juggle regularly. The more we can uncover and discuss the complexities of point-of-care nursing and the unspoken rules within the culture, the safer the work and healthcare environments become!
