No one understands the hilarity, miracles heartbreak, and pain of a hospital emergency department quite like me. After sixteen years of working as a Registered Nurse, I have seen it all. The COVID-19 pandemic was just the chaotic experience to show me that I needed to tell this story.
I needed to tell the behind-the-scenes, firsthand nurse's perspective on working in the most 'in-the-trenches' part of healthcare and just how important intuition has become to helping me stay the course. Through my panic, anxiety, and complete exhaustion came so many lessons that needed to be shared. From this place, I discovered just how using my intuition in this field could open so many new avenues for healing, self-discovery and performing my best in this fast-paced world.
Nursing Intuition: How to Trust Your Gut, Save Your Sanity and Survive Your Career, is a book needed now more than ever. It demonstrates, from my own direct experiences, how to build resilience, develop your intuition and cultivate your confidence in a field that has gone through its own series of battles. It's a mix of academic-based information from my own training, a touch of spirituality, mixed in with a range of sordid tales pulled right from my own shiftwork.
Bullies, ghosts, aha-moments, intuition, and death - nothing is too taboo for Nursing Intuition and this exactly the draw of this book. There is nothing quite like it out there and because of this, it is needed now more than ever. I invite you into this side of the ER. This book is your glimpse into this world of shocking trauma, lessons learned, and all the various ways intuition showed me my true power. Using a mix of journaling, reflection, and examples I will empower the reader to start digging into their own traumas and how they have been coping up until this point.
