01.01.2022 How to Practice Mindful Nursing http://www.nmhp.org.au/documents/NMHPV-Mindful-Nursing.pdf Do you ever feel panic at the end of a long weekend or holiday, wondering where the time went? Do your days, weeks, and months blend into one another, each day bringing you more of the same?... All nurses and midwives are familiar with doing mode. Your training emphasizes it, and in a profession that is task-driven, being busy is valued. Yet, when you are constantly in doing mode, your mind leaps from one thought to the next, you forget about the moment you’re in, and after a while, your feelings control you. Unable to switch out of doing mode, and hijacked by whatever thought or emotion pops up, you end up merely going through the motions.
