Nurses work in the foxhole of the healthcare battlefield. Their work is emotionally grueling and
physically draining. This easy-to-follow book offers a new skill set to cope with the challenges
of nursing and sustain compassion in the long term. Backed by scientific evidence, the book
teaches mindfulness and compassion practices to lessen stress, enhance relationships,
improve patient care, and reduce patient risk. With a new understanding of everyday mindfulness and compassion, nurses can overcome
the myriad contemporary challenges inherent in the workplace-and in their own lives.
This book will show you how to:
¿ Nurture others without depleting yourself
¿ Overcome compassion fatigue and burnout
¿ Decrease frustration and job overwhelm
