Nursing is hard. We all know that. Throughout more than two decades as a nurse, I have seen nurses give amazing care to other people, while often ignoring all or at least part of the care they need for themselves. In this book, I start by showing why it is vital that you care for yourself. Next, I help you reconnect with who you are outside of nursing. From there I show how you can establish boundaries that can help you build a healthier life. Then, I dispel the myth that self-care is selfish. Lastly, I take you down a step-by-step system showing you how to care for all areas of your life. When we do take the time to care for ourselves, we often will focus on physical health or mental health. In this book, I outline my 6 Pillars of a Restored Life:

Work Health Physical Health Mental Health Spiritual Health Relational Health Financial Health

The six pillars work together to move you toward living a restored life and don't worry, I explain what that is in the book. You can experience great success in one or two of these, but if you ignore the others, your restored life may come crashing down around you, or simply never get built.
