Great post, Alicia-joy. Raqui’s writing is so good and this book is a tool that every new nurse or nursing student must check out. I love how authentic she is as I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to her over the phone, too. What a heart-centered person who loves what she does and has a desire to help. Great interview, thank you!

Alicia-Joy,
I enjoyed reading your site information. I am in management for the last five years and would really like to know the links to where i can do refresher courses to get into icu nursing and get back to bedside at least on a per diem basis. Thanks

Hi Kayla,

Thanks for writing. I am sorry to hear of your current job experience. Being in pain and in an environment that hurts your health cannot be a ‘dream job’ at all. There is no set standard for what is dream and what is not. It is all relative to what is best for each person and their family. Please feel free to email me: alicia@transitionsinnursing.com if you would like to talk further about your particular situation.

Whoa. I’m 53, been a nurse for 2 years. I’m in a BSN program as well. I started as a psych RN and became very unhappy with that situation- poor management, nurses leaving, high patient load. I never complained at work, I tried to be happy. I then started a month ago training as a circulator in a gorgeous OR. I absolutely cannot do this. I ache and hurt from the cold, my skin cracks and bleeds from the dry air, I have lupus and have been miserable since the second day. I feel so guilty because this is a dream job on paper. Day shift, no weekends, 6 month orientation and very nice supervisors. I don’t know whether to keep trying or just transfer. My supervisor asked me if everything was ok- she sensed my misery, I’m sure. I told her I was not loving it. She said they would help me find something if I would be honest and not waste everyone’s time trying to stay if I hated it. I’m not sure what to do.

Alicia,
Great podcast! There are so many nurses out there doing health and wellness coaching, it is a perfect fit as you share on your podcast! Thanks for offering unique and fun ways for nurses to create the work that they love. I always say that if we don’t love our roles and we’re not having fun, we aren’t living a life of total well-being. I loved this!

Hi Elizabeth, Nice to “meet” you here. I’m so glad this resonated with you. Yes, we must be proactive to invest in our selves – both our health and our enjoyment – as you pointed out here! Glad you liked my post. Blessings, Amy

Hey Elizabeth,

Glad you enjoyed Amy’s article. It definitely inspired me. Caregivers are so often sacrificing their self-care. We see it time and time again. It’s such a shame because I believe you are in a better position to care for others, when you first care for yourself. Sounds so obvious, yet it is still ignored by many caregivers (nurse especially).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I don’t know about you, but a massage is on my horizon. I will cherish every minute of it.
