I've witnessed many aspects of nursing, the good, bad and ugly. I've found most nurses, aides and physical therapist to be compassionate but overworked. I wanted to create a tool to Revive, Empower and Motivate this next generation to embrace this profession and give it the energy needed for the service required.

Nursing requires a lot of skill and compassion, care/compassion being the operative word because it is part of the healing process. One can go through the processes all day long but when the compassion is missing it reflects in the mental and physical attitude of the patient.

Nurses Wield Grace and Grit brings awareness to the need for grace to administer the work of the profession and grit to operate under the pressure to perform. In an effort to meet the needs of their patients nurses are confronted with their own issues such as exhaustion from long hours, compassion fatigue, team and management conflicts, etc. There are tools within this book to address those issues and so much more.

It cites the problems and offers solutions for dealing with them. S. Riley, RN At a time when many are leaving the nursing industry due to the many stressors, others are avoiding it and senior professionals are returning to meet the need, Nurses Wield Grace and Grit brings awareness and tools to make needed change in mind and practices. Janet W. LPN So many nursing professionals don't realize how important advocacy in the workplace is.
