Nurse listening The Nurses Great Escape

Hi My name is Angela Brooks

I am an experienced nurse of 24 years as a Psychiatric Nurse in a state funded mental hospital  nurse education and training educator -  certified CPI Instructor (Certified Instructors of Nonviolent Crisis Intervention), Certified in CPR, HIV counselor, and author of “The Nurses Voice”.

Nurses need to be refueled and empowered,they are exhausted, burnt out and looking for somone who understands. Not just for nurses – but those that nurse others in life. The stories you will read here you can relate too how other nurses feel and the experiences that can help you to prepare yourself for work, learn tips for distressing, learn how to unplug and replug in giving your patients 100% when you are on task and giving the rest of your life 100% when you are off work.

Due to a sense of frustration with in my day to day life as a nurse, I became increasingly burned out with my nursing career. Although nurses have always been the linchpins of good patient care, it often seemed difficult for them to provide it in our increasingly complex health care system. As I began investigating how to support other nurses with bits of happiness added to their life. A place for them to read stories and share their stories.

After successfully sharing my stories and feeling extremely rewarded with the result, I decided to provide a newsletter that goes out to 17 other countries and the USA. Inside stories that changed another persons life because they were heard, seen or valued. Using a simple skill of listening. The nurses voice, the voice for those unheard. It will arrive right in your inbox.

    Oh Angela, thank you very much for your e-mail on burnout in the workplace. As usual your timing is perfect (or perhaps it’s the timing of the universe…or both). I am the Clinical Director where I work. I am going to give this out at the team meeting this morning. Everyone is running on spiritual fumes right now and I think this will really hit the spot. Have your heard the term “compassion fatigue.” It’s a concept that has been finding it’s way into our vocabulary out here is CA. It refers to what happens if we start working harder at fixing someone’s life than they themselves are working. It’s all about the balance baby. Hope you have a terrific day and thanks for all you do.

    Nurses are in need of this happiness, either at work and at home. Due to busy and hectic schedule, nurses have a great tendency to be burned out as well as be really tired by their work. Sometimes even family time is neglected, and even our sense of who we are, is already forgotten. This is a great site, indeed. Thank you much Angela. :)

    Cheers,
