Flourish
Thriving as nurses against the odds: a practical and emotional guide
By Kate Greenstock, Clare Cable
Flourish for nurses is both realistic and hopeful. It weaves together stories and research evidence to take a candid look at the physiological realities of being a nurse, while offering tools to renew clarity, energy and motivation.
We know how challenging it can feel right now to go beyond 'survival' in healthcare. Flourish aims to support you as a nurse to do two things: to name what's going on around you and within you, then to find and claim your distinctive place in the nursing world.
You might be a newly qualified or early career nurse facing the challenges of finding your voice as well as your feet. Maybe you're an established nurse but feel as though you have lost your way - and with it the energy to reshape either yourself or the environment you work in. Perhaps you're a team leader seeking to find the vocabulary to connect with your team, acknowledge what they might be feeling and reach out for resources and tools to support them to thrive, reflect and grow.
Author Bio:
Kate is a midwife, coach and facilitator living in London, seeking out green space, fresh air and wild water wherever she can. As a midwife she works within a continuity of carer team; as a coach she supports midwives and mothers to creatively re-imagine their work lives. After a decade of premidwife life in Japan, Iran and the UAE, she loves that we all see the world from different angles. Her favourite part of being a midwife (and previously doula) is witnessing and supporting 'newborn' families in their profound transition and changing identities. She brings an absolute conviction that there is no substitute in the world for you, and your unique voice.
As a guidebook, Flourish is a tour of discovery that reveals how 'standard' nursing environments and practices might be impacting you personally and then invites you to reconnect with the core of your personality and purpose. You'll recognise more clearly the realities of trauma exposure, burnout, empathic strain and moral injury, and explore what's really needed for psychological safety. You'll choose from an array of exercises to practice living well in the day to day, and you'll find a way back 'home', to a place where your sense of motivation for being a nurse is rekindled - a place where you can reconnect to your values, strengths and your unique voice. Once there, you will be able to make real, rich choices about your life and your career.
Clare Cable is a nurse and facilitator, she brings creativity and wisdom to enabling nurse leaders at all stages of their career to achieve their full potential.
