The founder and host of the Happy Nurse Podcast, Elaina Mullery RN studied nursing at The Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. She spent the first ten years of her career in Scotland before moving to Perth, Australia in 2010. Her clinical experience has been across a variety of settings. Elaina has first-hand experience of stress and burnout. It was this experience during the early years of her career, which led her to develop a passion for personal development. She has a diploma in Mindfulness and Meditation, is a certified hypnotherapist and a certified NLP Practitioner. These tools and skills have helped her to develop self care tools and strategies that she now shares with Nurses Internationally. As a profession, we are kind, compassionate and empathic professionals whose role is to ensure our patients are receiving the care they require and to be their advocate as and when needed. We often forget, though, to offer ourselves the same compassion that we so freely give to others. Burnout can creep up on us if we are not careful and we can find ourselves with empty cups and nothing left to give. With this in mind she set out on a mission to find a way to make it easy for her nursing colleagues to ensure that all their self-care needs were being met. Elaina is on a mission to reduce anxiety and burnout in nursing. She does this by promoting self-compassion to her nursing colleagues via her coaching, podcast, media appearances and webinars. She is available for consultation in the corporate sector and is a highly sought-after speaker for nursing and medical seminars, where her direct and practical style strikes a chord with her strongly engaged audience.
