Nursing Career Blocks
I speak to nurses everyday and they tell me how they hate their job, are stuck and don’t know how long they can do this for! Resonate? Interestingly, most of them when offered a solution to resolve their issues – choose to stay stuck and miserable. Why is that?
Will Ratios save nursing?
I recently read the latest LAMP journal produced by the NSW nursing union and honestly, it got me a little perplexed and I have spent a few days trying to unravel it all.
Having worked at a senior level in the healthcare system, I frequently attended meetings with senior execs and change management consultants, who would frequently highlight how ratios wouldn’t fix the challenges we face. I was equally as confused in these meetings, as that’s what EVERYONE wanted. Why would it resolve the issues?

Self-doubt is self-created
Self-doubt is self-created my friend. It’s a hard pill to swallow but an essential one for reclaiming your power and rewiring your mind. As high performers, it's our duty to take 100% responsibility of our thoughts and managing our mind – after all no one else can do it!
Self care is not indulgent, it's critical.
As caregivers, we spend a lot of time overdelivering and caring for our patients. Over time, you may have noticed that this results in us sacrificing our own personal needs on and off shift. If I had a dollar for every time I had to plead with a colleague to go for their break to hear “I will go shortly” to never go, I would be a billionaire I reckon. I personally used to think there was some form of glory in not, taking my breaks and caring for myself.
Complaining isn’t serving you.
Are you someone who spends a lot of time complaining? Do you work with a team of people who constantly complain? Do you catch yourself in a cycle of moaning and complaints? No shame. I get it – I was a chronic complainer for a decade. I indulged in it. It felt justified. It felt good to get it all out.
A coaches job is to help you see your mind…
Have you ever wondered what the hell a clinical and leadership coach does day to day?
My main role as a coach is to create a safe space for you to explore all the things – life, career, leadership, self-care, and personal development.
When you coach with me – I have one goal, to help you see your mind and how it may be stopping you from moving forward.
My job is to help you decipher between what is fact and what is a story.
It's my job to help you create space between the things that happen in your world and your thoughts about them.
It's my primary goal to help you reclaim your power, by managing your mind, in a way that empowers you to succeed.
It’s your job to work on yourself…
How much are you truly willing to invest in yourself to get to your goals?
Here’s the truth, most clinicians invest heavily in accumulating more post-grads, certificates, and conferences, designed to help you grow as a clinician.
I like to ask people, when did you invest in YOURSELF, your human personal development – nothing related to your career.
I have to say, having attended numerous conferences, professional study days, and post-graduate courses, they have all lacked one fundamental component of reflection – the understanding that for any of the knowledge learned to be applied, we must first learn, understand and develop self-awareness.
