“I didn’t realize how much I needed this journal until I started using it. After years of feeling like I was just surviving shift to shift, this has helped me slow down and actually process my experiences.”

“This journal is such a simple concept, but it’s exactly what I needed. The report sheets keep me organized, and the reflection prompts help me process the emotional side of nursing—something I used to just push aside.”
