Calm in the Chaos™ Audio Program
Nursing is challenging, but it doesn’t have to be stressful.
Every shift can bring several challenges: heavy patient loads, staffing shortages, documentation, patient death, difficult patients, rude/difficult family members, lack of managerial support, conflicts with co-workers, work-life balance, exposure to illness, and risk of injury.
I created The Calm in the Chaos™ Audio Program for bedside nurses who want practical strategies to prevent stress (not manage symptoms) before, during, and after their shifts.
As a patient advocate, I have the privilege of working alongside nurses and observing firsthand the tremendous pressures they face every day.
Early in my patient advocate career, I noticed nurses were extremely stressed, so I drew on my training in applied behavioral science and cognitive behavioral therapy and began coaching them to reduce stress.
These testimonials are from nurses I coached using 10 stress prevention steps before I recorded the Calm in the Chaos™ Audio Program
Nurse Testimonial 1
I had always thought that stress was caused by the circumstances that I was experiencing (difficult patients, working short-staffed, heavy patient loads, rude family members, lack of managerial support, etc.) While these are real issues, Vernon’s coaching taught me that even though I cannot always change my circumstances, I can change the way I think and act regarding those circumstances. Doing so has had a huge impact on my health and my career.
Nurse Testimonial 2
I used to find myself getting stressed before my shift began. The coaching taught me how to shift my thought patterns so that I no longer arrive on the unit already stressed.
Nurse Testimonial 3
For years, even though my shift had ended, I would find myself still stressed out as I replayed situations that had occurred during my shift. The coaching taught me how to shift my mind and body in order to leave work at work.
Based on these and similar comments, I created the Calm in the Chaos™Audio Program for Bedside Nurses – Preventing Stress Before, During and After Your Shift.
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 you can apply immediately. Since the lessons average less than five minutes, you can download them to your phone and listen to them whenever it is most convenient, before work, during a break, after work, or even while commuting.
Imagine: no classes to attend, no complicated technology, and an affordable program that delivers results.
I listened to the 10 lessons. As a retired nurse, I had several observations: 1) I found it extremely valuable that the lessons are practical and easy to understand. 2)The idea that nurses cannot always control what happens but they can control how they think and respond, really stood out for me. 3) I began to look a stress differently. Rather than simply trying to manage stress after it occurs, I see the value of preventing it. 4) I believe nurses will benefit from learning practical ways to prevent stress before it leads to burnout.
I wish I had had this when I was an active bedside nurse.
