Nursing s work world holds a paradox as well. Decreased financial resources and fewer nurses are coupled with increasing needs and demands, challenging the health care industry to create innovative ways to deliver services. In this complex environment, some nurses are thriving while others are not. The capacity for creativity is the key to redefining our world, our work and our profession. The inherent direction of life is toward newness and discovery.
Creativity is the process by which newness comes into form.
All living things are part of a messy network of relationships. These relationships behave in unpredictable and surprising ways. They co-create with each other in a great dance of signaling and response. All are free to create themselves as they choose, deciding what they will notice and respond to. Balance allows us to touch the polar opposites while staying centered.
