Helping Hospital Leaders Equip Bedside Nurses to Reduce Stress and Prevent Burnout

Calm in the Chaos™ Audio Program

Nurse Leaders: Do you find it challenging to find effective tools that support bedside nurses’ well-being and that fit into their busy schedules?

If so, The Calm in the Chaos™ Audio Program could be a solution.

I created The Calm in the Chaos™ Audio Program because I believe bedside nurses deserve practical, everyday support in dealing with the stress of one of the most demanding professions in healthcare.

During my 20+ years as a patient advocate, I had the privilege of working alongside nurses and observing firsthand the tremendous pressures they face every day.

Drawing on my background in applied behavior science and applied behavior therapy, I began coaching nurses on stress prevention. Ultimately, I created Calm in the Chaos.

Rather than focusing on stress after it has already occurred, the Calm in the Chaos Audio program emphasizes practical stress prevention – simple, realistic strategies that nurses can begin using immediately to take care of themselves as they care for patients.

The program consists of ten professionally recorded audio lessons:

  • Why Nurses Experience So Much Stress
  • Stress Comes from Your Thoughts – Not Your Circumstances
  • Catch Stress-Producing Thoughts
  • Replacing Stress-Producing Thoughts With Empowering Thoughts
  • Practicing Stress Prevention During Your Shift
  • Staying Calm During Unexpected Situations
  • Preventing Stress Before Your Shift Begins
  • Ending Your Shift Without Carrying Stress Home
  • Building A Daily Stress Prevention Habit
  • Maintaining Calm Long-Term

Each lesson provides practical ideas that nurses can apply immediately. Since the lessons average less than five minutes in length, nurses can listen to them wherever it is most convenient for them – before work, during a break, after work, even while commuting.

Imagine – No classes to schedule, no complicated technology, and an affordable program that complements your existing efforts to support your nurses.
