Helping other’s “Tales from Contemporary Nursing.”

Put some Concrete in your Breakfast

Mental health is relevant within and beyond the workplace, given that a substantial part of our lives is spent working. The duration of one's working years can significantly differ due to elements like retirement age, career decisions, and personal situations.

Before COVID-19, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of mental health on a global scale. Efforts to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and improve access to mental health services have gained momentum, underscoring the significance of prioritizing mental well-being for individuals and societies.

Rasa Kabaila, author of Put some Concrete in your Breakfast: Tales from Contemporary Nursing: Building Resilience, Empathy and Confidence within a Challenging Professiondelves into various aspects of nursing, covering topics such as caring for terminally ill patients, handling bodily fluids, and the challenge of patients accurately gauging their own illness severity. It also addresses the management of patients with complex mental illnesses and those who are contemplating suicide.

The Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior. "Mental Health in the Workplace" describes mental health issues identified as one of the leading causes of disability among the working population (WHO 2019b). A standard estimate is that 1 in 4 people (NIMH 2022, WHO 2022) experience significant mental problems.

Mental health directly affects your overall well-being and quality of life. Just as physical health is crucial, mental health plays a pivotal role in your ability to enjoy life, maintain relationships, and engage in daily activities.

The need for guidance and support is paramount in every part of our lives; Rasa is one of those gems filled with knowledge and experience. To learn more about Rasa and her Practice as a Nurse Practitioner, visit her website here: Broadleaf 

Confronting the more complicated truth, why do nurses leave? In a recent article, a Nurse practitioner writes a book to help others understand the job and avoid burnout.

"Research says that if nurses leave the profession it's not because of the work — they love the work," Ms Kabaila said.

"Even for those who work in places where they're exposed to a lot of emotional and physical trauma, that's not why they leave.

"They leave because of the conditions or because of the hierarchy and the way they've been treated.

If you have a family member or know of someone who is a nurse or thinking of going into nursing, get a copy of "Put some concert in your coffee." The book gives a sincere yet honest representation of modern nursing in all its forms rather than focusing only on the 'good' ', the funny' ', the sad', or the 'ugly'.

Rasa provides a collection of stories that concentrate on nursing that validates, educates and encourages those undertaking a career in nursing. 

It celebrates the fantastic rewards that the unique nursing profession has to offer for those who can find a way to persevere through the challenges.
