In the Healthcare Battlefield, Nurses Work In the Foxholes. Is there a Way to Survive and Thrive?

    BUFFALO, NY, November 16, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Licensed psychotherapist, author and publisher Carmel Sheridan knows that no matter where nurses live and work, they struggle with similar issues: compassion fatigue, depression, substance abuse, poor boundary setting, neglected self-care, and high stress levels. "I've lived in the U.S. and Ireland, and many of the participants in my stress-management groups are nurses spanning every specialty. Nurses have particularly high levels of stress and burnout." Often dubbed "the invisible patients," nurses endure emotionally grueling and physically draining shifts, often with little support.

powerful resources and wisdom that will help nurses to:
