Abby got me moving from just thinking about how  I needed to grow and change but not knowing how, to actually taking action and trying to change negative thought patterns. It started in application to my work and then it spread everywhere. And like when you deep clean a house, I started noticing "dust" in places I otherwise wouldn't have noticed, and started trying to improve things I wouldn't have otherwise started to improve.

I've been having a tough time with jobs since becoming a nurse just 5 years ago. I thought something was wrong with me, but Abby helped me be more present in my job and not just be looking for the next thing. This came at a time that I'd hit a low spot, but now I feel like I can actually come back it instead of falling further down the rabbit hole of self-pity and low self-worth. Abby's coaching came at the exact time I needed it and I couldn't be happier with the insights into my very core that I needed (more than you can imagine).

Any of you nurses who feel withered and in need of some nursing soul watering, Abby is putting information out in the world that we all need to hear to be empowered. Abby isn't asking us bedside nurses to get away from the bedside as the solution to dissatisfaction or burnout. She's empowering us to make the most of the positions we find ourselves in so we can be fulfilled both in our jobs and personally!

I doubted Abby's ability to analyze the chaos that was swirling in my brain - I could barely understand what was going on myself let alone how on earth she was going to help me. Not only did Abby coach me through a very real problem, she equipped me to troubleshoot future problems as well. 

Abby has helped me change my way of thinking about a lot of situations and has helped me confidently have "difficult conversations" with co-workers (and my husband!)

From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Abby! Thank you for being non-judgmental, practical in your advice, wise beyond your years, and kind hearted and generous with your time and skills. Abby is a nurse to nurses, and we don't often get to be on the receiving end of help.
