They taught you how to hang a drip. Nobody taught you this. After seventeen years at the bedside—as a med-surg nurse, a family nurse practitioner, and a health coach who has sat across from thousands of patients the system gave up on—Nati Carrillo has one thing to say to every nurse reading this: You already know more than you think you do.

It's the unfiltered truth about the skills that ...

The Calm Behind the Uniform is a practical, research informed guide written specifically for nurses and frontline healthcare workers carrying the cumulative weight of clinical work: constant vigilance, exposure to patient suffering, understaffing, hostile interactions, and shift schedules that ...

53% of nurses report burnout within the last two years. This book gives you the one skill that actually changes that number for you personally: the ability to set and hold boundaries at work, without guilt, without losing your job, and without losing yourself.

The Nurse's Boundary Code offers something different — a practical, field-tested framework built specifically for ...

Nursing school taught you how to read a rhythm strip and manage a code. It almost certainly did not teach you what to do in the sixty seconds after a patient grabs your wrist, or how to walk back into the same room the next shift, or why your hands still shake three days later when a different patient raises his voice. If something happened to you, or you are afraid something will, you are not alone, and you are not overreacting. After the Incident is a comprehensive, research informed guide written specifically for nurses and frontline healthcare workers recovering from workplace violence,...

"I'm a nurse practitioner. I've cared for hundreds of Alzheimer's patients. But when it was my aunt disappearing—and my sister drowning in caregiving—I learned that professional knowledge doesn't protect you from personal heartbreak." The blank stare haunted me. My aunt stared into nothingness. An empty vessel who'd forgotten everything. Everyone. I'm a family nurse practitioner—17 years as a registered nurse, certified NP since 2014. I knew what the blank stare meant. I understood the dying brain. And none of that knowledge stopped the devastation. Because here's what they don't tell...

The law of attraction is based on the idea that everything in the universe has a polarity, meaning that everything - from the food you eat to the people you talk to, to the things you say to the things you think - contains either a positive or a negative kind of energy. Notice that being with people who complain or rant a lot tends to make you feel bad, even though you're not exactly experiencing what they're going through - that's the law of attraction working its magic. When you focus on negative stuff, then more negative stuff will happen to you.

You are the one holding their world together. But who is holding space for you? Caregiving begins with love. It lives in the space between profound devotion and bone-deep depletion. It’s a reality of contradictions—where your heart is full of love, your mind a relentless ticker tape of worries and what-ifs, and your body aching in places your doctor dismisses as “just stress.” This is the silent, unseen work of a caregiver. It’s the moment you catch your reflection and barely recognize the capable, worn-out stranger staring back. It’s the strange, surreal grief of mourning ...
