For All of You:
Teacher Appreciation Week and National Nurses Week fall in the same week: this week! But rather than celebrating you for just one week, I think that you deserve to be appreciated every day of the year.
As a former teacher, I never had to work under the conditions that you do today. But as a physician, when I worked in clinics I experienced one of the same problems that nurses are currently facing (time pressure).
Surveys Show:
The headlines focus on the difficulties that teachers and nurses face but surveys reveal that a certain percentage of you are content with your working circumstances. I'm glad. But many of you, working under very difficult conditions, are not.
Difficult Conditions
Insufficient support from your administrations, lack of autonomy, long hours, insufficient pay, and exposure to violence. I'm sure that you could think of more problems than I've mentioned here.
What Are You Doing About These Problems?
Some of you are leaving your work, which is a painful loss for you and a terrible waste for your profession. Some of you are striking for improvements; good! From what I read, those of you who are nurses have to contend with for-profit entities that value earnings over service. Those of you who are teachers are burdened by levels of bureaucracy that weigh down even your administrators, and by political input.
A Mug? A Free Meal? No, an Inner Guide!
My gift of appreciation to you is an Inner Guide, which you can acquire for free. As it has no discomforts, it can assess your situation clearly, free of contaminating emotions such as anger, depression, and anxiety.
