Nurse Blake Launches 'Code Calm' to Address Mental Health and Burnout in Nursing
Nurse Blake, a prominent figure in the nursing community known for his comedy and advocacy, has launched a new book titled 'Code Calm: A Nurse’s Guide To Surviving and Thriving.' The book is inspired by Blake's personal experience of spending 30 days in a mental health treatment facility, where he realized that many nurses, despite caring for others, also struggle with their own mental health. 'Code Calm' is a collaborative effort with 10 other nurses and one paramedic, addressing critical issues such as burnout, trauma, compassion fatigue, boundaries, and the emotional weight of nursing. The book aims to provide practical guidance and foster a sense of community among nurses, with proceeds going towards distributing free copies to hospitals and nursing programs.
