Cultivating moral resilience
As a nurse, it is challenging to maintain calmness or serenity at the workplace since our work includes caring for people with different attitudes and personalities. However, as a morally resilient conscious person, I hope to cultivate moral resilience within myself, fostering self-awareness and acknowledging when I am wrong and guiding my actions not to conflict with other views. Also, I will develop self-regulation capacities by seeking stress reduction techniques such as the “mindful based stress reduction’ (MBSR) techniques like yoga or tai chi, depending on which is readily available ( Shonin, Van Gordon, & Griffiths, 2013) .
Specific Interventions
The interventions I envision for myself include being part of a larger support group that provides for people within my profession. Being part of a larger group will help me listen to the challenges that others have faced and develop methods of countering them, based on the lessons that I have learned from others' experiences ( Johnstone & Hutchinson , 2013). As a budding nurse, working in distress is going to be part of an unpredictable routine, and sharing the experiences of others who have much tenure, will be helpful.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Contributions
As a nurse, I will establish a private online chat-room that will be exclusive to nurses from different areas and hospitals. In the chat-room, I will be the administrator, where we will always hold anonymous conversations and tell our stories to encourage others and learn from others too, while we come up with ethical solutions. As a self-conscious individual, I believe in seeking interventions and channels to expunge stress, seek advice, and learn how to deal with moral complexities. These are characteristics that I have developed over time, and have been instrumental in handling various stresses, that I have continually faced throughout my training as a nurse. The contributions I intend creating involve a channel that everyone within my circle can engage in and help them relieve stress and learn. The impactful intervention program will be a channel of anonymity, and everyone will feel safe speaking, sharing, learning, and contributing.
