S2E41 How one nurse went from the bedside to starting a movement to reduce nurse burnout w/Jennifer Thietz

The Nurse Shark Academy Show

We interview nurses who are business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders. We want to hear inspiring stories from the nurse next door who is making a difference in the entrepreneurial and business space. My mission is for you to own your seat at the table of nurse entrepreneurship, gaining confidence, skills, and freedom to live your life on your own terms. You will dream big and expand your consciousness as an entrepreneur.

Welcome our guests today, Jennifer Thietz, founder of Nurses Matter in California. Today’s episode, “How one nurse went from the bedside to starting a movement to reduce nurse burnout.”

About Jennifer Thietz

Jennifer Thietz (nee Marais) is a master-trained nurse and author. She immigrated to California from South Africa in 2003, where she worked in acute care settings for eighteen years, most of those at the bedside. She has a wealth of experience regarding the changing face of healthcare in the USA and the current needs of nurses.

In 2016, Jennifer published a book, Navigating Your Cancer Journey: A Handbook for Cancer Patients and Caregivers, by an Oncology Nurse Navigator under her maiden name, Jenny Marais, which won multiple awards. In 2023, her chapter, "Tribe of Angels: Lessons Learned from Nurses on Resilience during the COVID Pandemic," was part of an anthology that achieved Amazon's International best-seller status.

Jennifer is deeply concerned about the healthcare crisis, particularly the fate of nurses suffering from compassion fatigue and burnout. Jennifer's new book, Nurses Matter: From Compassion Fatigue to Resilience/ A Nurse Movement to Overcome Burnout and Transform Healthcare,” focuses on self-care and a nurse's movement for transformational change. Her new nurse model and Four-Step Program address nurses' working needs and empower them to lead the conversation on what they need to change in their workplaces so they can once again provide the safe, compassionate care they are known for. In this way, nurses have the power to transform healthcare for all of us.
