Career Clarity for Nurses helps nurses uncover what they really want from their job that will make their career direction obvious and natural. As a travel nurse, Karen Wade spent years working side-by-side with nurses in facilities across the country where she felt and heard about almost universal job stressors. With her doctorate in organizational psychology and years of experience helping people and organizations optimize their wellbeing and effectiveness, in Career Clarity for Nurses, Karen teaches nurses how to: use their emotions effectively to manage stress while increasing their focus and a state of calmness; transform difficult relationships with coworkers into supportive ones; embrace their unique path to self-care and optimal health; uncover what they really want from their job that will make their career direction obvious and natural; and know if they can be happy in their current nursing job or need to transition to another role.
