As nurses in today’s medical workforce we need to stand up and speak out, and no longer just sit down and be quiet, hiding in the shadows and the shame of our struggles.
The reality is there are unlimited options available for nurses if we can only find the way to expand our beliefs about our potential and how we should show up in this world.
We push ourselves in so many ways that it will eventually and inevitably result in us hitting a brick wall. We are only intended to do so much, but the pressure and expectations are heavy and create a fear driven intensity to push ourselves to the limits.
It’s time that we pay attention to what our body’s are telling us and seek the support we need now.
If you can relate please join me and my guest Jane Van Brunt, nurse and corporate healthcare leader and the host of “The Dear Spin Sisters'' podcast and author of the “Nightingale Gene'' and the co-author of “Shut Your Mouth” for today’s episode where we discuss ways to take back control of your nursing career.

MEET JAYNE:
Jayne Van Brunt is a nurse and corporate healthcare leader and the host of the Dear Spin Sisters podcast - a podcast about mothers and daughters, nurses and storytelling. She is the author of The Nightingale Gene and the co-author of Shut Your Mouth. She published the Nightingale Gene in 2018 as a love letter to nurses and caregivers and was somewhat prophetic as she wrote of her fears heading into 2021, not realizing the mass exodus of nurses due to retire in the U.S. would be exacerbated by the pandemic. Jayne learned the hard way what stress and burnout can do to a body when she was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome and was paralyzed for 2 weeks. She coaches nurses to look for less stressful ways to use their degrees, running workshops to identify business opportunities that support their mission to reinvent themselves.

MEET SANDRA PAYNE:
Sandra Payne is a Nurse and Master Certified Holistic Wellness Trauma Informed Coach and the owner of Sandra Payne Wellness and founder of the exclusive Nurse Rx Coaching Program.
After 13 years working within the traditional health care system and experiencing first hand the challenges that come with nursing, Sandra has a keen understanding of the heavy unrealistic expectations in nursing, the moral distress, and the stigma that keeps many nurse’s struggles with depression, anxiety, and trauma hidden in silence.
Out of this intimate understanding was born the Nurse Rx Program through which women nurses learn and practice a host of skills and exercises to manage stress, process emotions, and heal trauma within a safe group collective of other nurses.
