Articles

These articles are written for nurses at every stage of their journey—from students and new grads to seasoned professionals. They’re not quick fixes or surface-level advice. They’re practical strategies, hard-won lessons, and mindful reflections gathered from over forty-five years at the bedside and in the classroom.

This isn’t a random stack of blog posts. It’s an organized body of work, built around the themes nurses tell me matter most: burnout and resilience, professional growth, mindfulness in action, leadership, and clinical confidence.

Each theme is a thread. Together, they weave the bigger story of how to thrive in nursing—how to care for patients with skill and compassion while also protecting your own well-being, career, and sense of purpose.

If you’re looking for fluff, you won’t find it here. What you will find are insights, encouragement, and tools you can start using right away.

Many of these same themes form the foundation of my book, The Art of Mindful Nursing Primer. If an article sparks something in you, you’ll find even more depth, stories, and strategies waiting in its pages.
