I’m a Nurse, Solution Focused Life and Stress Management Coach and Entrepreneur.
Kathy Parlevliet, the Nurse who knows. This is a very special moment to acknowledge how many people we meet. Collectively, everyone in the hospital is a potential host. Creating a variety of options and sharing concerns with appropriate members of the medical team. Everyday is a new beginning, new patients, and new families, looking for help. Knowing how to meet and greet all these obstacles is crucial to your day.
The new year is always a reflective time for the world. How can we make our lives even better? What can I do to improve my work life? How would it feel if I was successful in meeting my goals?
Making room for improvement is sometimes very difficult. We would have to accept that a shift of ideas could be beneficial to your life. How would you approach these moments when they are in front of you? Can you recognize what might be a better plan? For myself, there is my internal voice that I am trying to listen to more carefully. Greeting with a sense of style and tact to receive the outcome necessary. Most people would rather not be told what to do. Couldn’t it be shared with a work around question? One of my favorite approaches is to ask a physician or nurse for example, what do you see as the plan? Using their resources allows for better communication. Possibly both parties can come to a team solution and then you day is better.
Meeting your goals for each day, week or year isn’t easy. Leaning how to adapt is not always a wanted solution. Why should we always have to change our way of thinking? Then, the other question sneaks in that is annoying to process. How is this plan working for you now? If you leave your workday, frustrated and incomplete with solutions, wanting to not come back the next day to repeat the same process. Reflecting on what can you do to make it better? What is one solution that might work for you? Look at the other nurses around you. Are they feeling the same? Talk to your closest nurse friends. Find out what they do to help their day. Think about their ideas as a possibility to improve your life at work. If you try it and it doesn’t work for you, nothing is lost. Nothing ventured means nothing gained.
Meeting obstacles are moments of growth. If you can’t seem to find how to begin a new chapter in your worklife, I am here for you. TheRNcoach.com.
