Together We Can Stop Shame and Blame in Nursing-Kristy Meyer RN, BSN, NC-BC Highlights
“I feel like self-care is often discussed in a way like, well, you're burned out, it’s because you're not doing self-care, or you're burned out, that means you're not resilient.
And I feel like there's a lot of shame and blame in there, when really, we work in really tough environments, and we see really hard things, and a lot of times we have a lot of defensive mechanisms, I believe, like shielding ourselves from that, not feeling some of the feelings, and that's a good skill at times, because that's what you need to do to get through your work shift.
But internalizing a lot of feelings and not taking care of your own basic needs just leads to a lot of health problems for us as Nurses.” ~Kristy Meyer RN, BSN, NC-BC
Ah Ha Moments
- Shame and blame are evident in discussions about self-care. Like the things you’re doing daily to help yourself aren’t good enough. It’s important to change that narrative
- It’s easier for Nurses to receive assistance when they can connect with a fellow Nurse, especially for health and wellness coaching
- It can be difficult for Nurses to identify they are burned out and need help, because they are sooo good at caring for others
- You are powerful beyond measure and have the capacity to heal
