A little bit of frustration – with the system, the “man,” or whatever – goes a long way. A little bit of frustration is healthy, in my opinion. It keeps us passionate. It keeps us advocating. It keeps us moving forward because we know whatever “it” is shouldn’t be this frustrating.
A lot of frustration, on the other hand, is no good. It’s just overwhelming. It leads to burnout.
Everything in moderation, folks…including frustration. If you have too much at the moment, push back from the table to limit your intake and let things settle and remember that a little goes a long way to effect change.

April 6, 2013 2:02 pmI love the fact that you keep your blog inspirational, passionate, and you keep everyone advocating for nurses! For all you nurses out there on Nursetopia, I’d like to invite you to share your nursing stories with us at Barco’s Nightingales Foundation’s Facebook page. I have some specific questions I’d like to ask, and I’d like you to send me your photo too. LIKE us on Facebook and send me a note at http://facebook.com/BarcosNightingalesFoundation.
If you are not yet familiar with Barco’s Nightingales Foundation, part of their ongoing commitment is to encourage people to embrace the profession of nursing. We are sharing stories from nurses and student nurses across the country and throughout the world on our Facebook page. We hope that by bringing their stories to life, more will be inspired to embrace nursing as a profession. Thank you–Phyllis Grabot
