Nurses have little time... so little, in fact, that they often have no time to spend on self-care. In Back to the Basics: A Nurse's Pocket Guide to Self-Care, Elizabeth Scala, MSN/MBA, RN, shares with us quick tips and easy-to-use tools for the busy nurse! Elizabeth brings us back to the basics of nursing; reminding us why taking care of ourselves, as the people taking care of patients, is so imperative to do. Often, nurses find themselves stressed, burnt out, and ill. Why? Because they do not spend the time, or just do not have any time of their own, on their own health and well-being. The nurse is often so busy caring, giving, and nurturing another person that their own health and well-being goes out the window. Elizabeth invites the busy nurse to slow down, listen to themselves, and figure out what is important, what is desired, and what gives life meaning. Through her 12 Steps to Self-Care, and this quick, easy-to-read guide book, Elizabeth shares valuable nuggets of information, wisdom, and advice from her own healing, learning, and growth experience. It is a short, but necessary tool-kit that will fit into any scrub pocket!

Nursing offers many opportunities, but there's no denying it's tough-and sometime thankless-work. A nurse's mindset often means the difference between an average and awesome career, but few nursing books focus on this vital aspect of the profession. Entrepreneur and clinical nurse Elizabeth Scala, MSN/MBA, RN, provides the means to take your nursing career to the next level. Beginning with the many issues affecting nursing, Scala describes the negative "monkey" mindsets that interfere with a nurses' ability to enjoy their profession. She then introduces a set of seven spiritual laws to help improve a nurse's career outlook. Scala brings her experience as an entrepreneurial nurse to bear on the broader nursing field, balancing spiritual advice with a series of practical, down-to-earth steps designed to shift careers into high gear. Each chapter ends with a series of self-reflective questions to help nurses guide their careers in whichever direction fits their needs, culminating in a step-by-step daily process to help nurses continue to love and enjoy their jobs. Your next shift could be the start of a new outlook on your career aspirations and daily nursing. Let Scala show you the way to a brighter, more meaningful future.

At a time when health care is going through major change, nurses-known for being highly capable in a crisis-are being forced to take on more and more responsibilities. In this increasingly stressful environment, nurses need new ways to make sure they are taking care of themselves so they don't succumb to the physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion of caring for everyone and everything else. Nursing from Within: A Fresh Alternative to Putting Out Fires and Self-Care Workarounds offers the innovative solutions today's nurses need. Although it outlines the problems nurses face, this book is not about trying to change the working environment. Rather, it's about altering inner perspectives. With boundless energy and passion, it addresses an element that's largely missing from nursing self-care programs focusing on diet and health: the spiritual self. Taking a holistic approach that incorporates spiritual and energy principles such as Reiki, Nursing from Within teaches you how to connect with your authentic self. Author Elizabeth Scala's enthusiasm is contagious, as she shares proven and effective strategies for creating shifts in your perspective, empowering you to take on the challenges of nursing with a confidence and vitality that will bring the joy back to your chosen profession.

This volume is about the defining difference between medieval and modern stories. In chapters devoted to the major writers of the late medieval period, it analyses the persistent appearance of "missing" stories: stories implied, alluded to, or fragmented by a larger narrative.
