The goal for this communication venue is to recognize and promote The Nurse Artist who is dedicated to using Art as a healing modality for self and others. Participation in Creative Expression can help to reduce stress of hospitalization, improve healing through relaxation and reducing tension and pain. Inspire, bring joy and give hope to our patients and staff.

Caring for the Caregiver
We have 2 excellent nurses (I want use their names without permission) at Baptist South involved in the Jean Watson Caritas Coach Education Program. A goal for all three of us, along with the hospital administration has been to create a caring room for staff. My job was to do a painting that would help decompress, if for only a brief moment, the stress level of being an Intensive Care Nurse.The staff voted on a topic (seascape) and I painted a very large 4'x4' canvas which was hung yesterday in the Caring Room. I am so happy to be a part of this project and think so highly of this caring staff. I will get a photo of the room after its completed and post on this blog so you can tell me what you think.
