Nurses care for people who are facing great disruption in their lives.
While illness creates challenging situations, often it is also a time of deep introspection and healing for issues beyond the actual health challenges. 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.
