The future is yours.

Creating a Personal Meaning for Nursing


Try to honestly reflect on your beliefs and values about nursing. You may rediscover those same thoughts and feelings that once inspired you. Some of these can be brought back into your present belief system.

Within the workplace, there are many "givens" that we cannot control. The goal is to unhook from futile battles and to maintain our own fitness to practice in order to contribute to the well-being of our clients or patients while striking a balance between what is real and what is possible.
