.... (Name), thinking about you
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi ( _______ Nurse or nurse manager that I know…)
I was thinking about you.
(BACKGROUND PROBLEM SITUATION THAT YOU CAN ASSIST WITH: )
The nursing shortage is a significant issue affecting healthcare systems globally. This shortage is leading to various problems that impact patient care, healthcare delivery, and the well-being of the nurses themselves.
We are seeing increasing workloads and burnout, compromised patient care, increasing risk, delayed healthcare services, increasing costs impacting healthcare institutions and so much more.
It is not a surprise to you that so many nurses are really struggling with their health and resilience, and it is impacting their work and the quality of patient care.
HOW IT AFFECTS PERSON YOU ARE SPEAKING TO
Oftentimes leaders like you feel stuck in the middle of it all. You are racking your brain trying to figure out how to make the numbers work and how to keep the patients safe, while supporting the resilience, training and mental health of your staff. It is fantastic that the staff have such an amazing leader like you.
YOUR INSIGHT:
But what I noticed.....
(in the last few years while I was at the bedside was that nurses are offering top-notch healthcare to the patients, yet )
when they get home and have to deal with replaying stressful work events in their heads, or encountering unhappy relationships, the stress of parenting or caring for a sick loved one... that they are not giving themselves that same top-notch care. They inadvertently undermine a lot of the knowledge they have of the human body and our biochemistry. They dive into sugar or alcohol, pizza or donuts and they walk around exhausted, anxious, and unhealthy. .......
(These nurses and CNA’s are the lifeblood of healthcare institutions and without them, patient care, doctors order and just about everything is impossible. )
WHAT YOU DO:
I have been refining what I am doing ....
(as a nurse and health coach)
and specifically what I do is...
POWER STATEMENT
( I help nurses at risk for burnout to regain energy, reduce stress and care for self first, so they can role model health within the healthcare system.)
YOUR IDEA - PITCHING WORKSHOP INVITE:
So I was thinking, I could be doing more to help my ...
(community ...fellow nurses).....
and that is exactly what I am going to do.
I am planning out my calendar and wanting to give back and offer some great practical strategies to help ....
(nurses and healthcare workers) ...
with their stress, nutrition, cravings and overall healthy lifestyle and I am giving free workshops (virtual or in person) in the next month and wondering if that would be something of value that you would be open to for your staff?
