How to explain success to yourself.

success noun

1. the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

Eg. ‘The president had some success in restoring confidence’.

I have been thinking a lot recently about what success in nursing actually means.

It is one thing to be great at nursing and be successful in the world’s eyes, BUT it is another to actually feel successful.

Recently, I took some time to think about what success in nursing really means to me.

I then talked to a couple of my nurse friends to learn more about their definition of success… I realized that everyone’s definition of success is SO vastly different!

 For me it would be, to be able to nurse on my terms.

This is to be mentally present for patients, attentive to my colleagues and to give more to my workplace, but still have enough for home. To feel energised after a week of work. 

I must say, it can be quite therapeutic to write down what success will look like!
