Comments From Clinicians:

 

I appreciate the clarity and rejuvenation that I experience while listening to Care for the Journey. It inspires me as a nurse, but also as a parent and member of the greater community. There are many distractions in both our professional and personal lives; and these messages are beautiful reminders of the power of simple, compassionate, healing presence...for others, and for ourselves.

In listening to Care for the Journey, I felt cared for myself. As a caretaker for
30+ years in dentistry and more recently for my own family, I find so often we are taken for granted or simply expected to perform. Appreciation seems infrequent, but so welcome when we hear it spoken. When others are put before us it's easy to forget the sound of a caretaking thought in return. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the wonderful CD, Care for the Journey. I have been listening to it in my car and it has really inspired me as I've travelled to and from my often difficult clinical rotation. You may not believe this, but until I heard some of the messages on the CD, I really wasn't thinking at all about how important it is to nurture and validate the people like me who are in the healthcare field. I guess we're so busy trying to support the patients that we forget about ourselves.

I have been a nurse since 1992, and am interested in integrating the Care for the Journey resources into our Emergency Department.I have come to appreciate the importance of connecting with other human beings as I attempt to aid them during their time of healing, despair and even death. As an assistant nurse manager I am aware of the rapid burnout of my fellow peers and nurses, realizing the complexity and strength of what they do each day. As I listened to the CD, I became inspired. I would like the opportunity to bring some inspiration and insight into the professional lives of others and to help them appreciate what brought them into this profession in the first place. I feel strongly that the positive messages of Care for the Journey can impact and change the lives of my fellow nurses and friends.
