Inspired Nurse

by Rich Bluni

Remember your first day as a nurse? You thought, What a privilege to do this work! It's true. Few other professions afford the opportunity to impact lives on such a profound level, not only physically but emotionally and spiritually as well. Yet the same qualities that make nursing so deeply rewarding can also make it a challenge, over time, to sustain your energy and passion. Inspired Nurse helps us maintain and recapture those elusive qualities. In this thought-provoking workbook, Rich Bluni, RN reminds nurses and all healthcare employees why we chose this profession. He provides a wealth of action-oriented "spiritual stretches" that help us more fully integrate the gifts of nursing- joy, wonder, gratitude, insight and grief - into our daily lives. Rich Bluni's personal stories illuminate those sacred moments we all experience. Inspired Nurse is a welcome validation that when we stay engaged and committed, we're more likely to provide extraordinary patient care in terms of both clinical outcomes and human compassion.

The book is told through stories that the author himself has experienced throughout his years of nursing. He ties these stories into "Inspiration Destinations". He is constantly trying to better himself as a nurse and improve in any way he can. He is also trying to help other nurses better themselves. I really liked this book. I thought it gave a good perspective and advice. There wasn't anything I didn't like about the book. The main motif of the book was the author's journey throughout his nursing career. I would read this book again as well as reccommend it to others to read.

This is a seminar made into book, book. Therefore, it reads a little cheesy. However, I read it as a requirement for work & was reminded of the reasons why I chose to be a nurse. I was then motivated to up "my game" & strive to be who I always wanted to become as a nurse. It gave me the opportunity to thank those who helped me get to where I am. That in & of itself was reason to read it!
