Reframing What "Healthy Habits" Actually Mean for Nurses

Identify the key reasons nurses struggle to mentally and physically disengage from work, and reframe "healthy habits" as conditions that make recovery possible, not routines that require extra energy or motivation.

Alert Icon-1

Recognising the Impact of Poor Recovery on Practice

Reflect on how unresolved nervous system activation and incomplete psychological closure after shifts can affect safety, emotional regulation, and long-term clinical performance.

Review Icon

Applying the Three Habit Categories for Recovery

Distinguish between Transition, Regulation, and Containment habits, and understand how each category supports the shift from on-duty to off-duty in a way that works within nursing's unique demands.

3-Apr-24-2025-01-10-13-1989-AM

Building a Personalised Unwinding Framework

Apply the three-step to design a practical post-shift recovery sequence that fits rotating rosters and high-fatigue environments

Why This Matters in Nursing Practice

The NMBA requires nurses to maintain competence through self-awareness, critical thinking, and safe, sustainable practice.

This webinar supports nurses in understanding how lifestyle and mindset factors, often dismissed as “personal”
directly influence patient care, safety, and long-term performance.

Kara thomas

NPAA President

Kara Thomas specialised in perioperative nursing early in her career, undertaking postgraduate specialty education and learning multiple specialties over nearly two decades. For Kara nursing is more than a job, it is a calling and a passion. To be able to serve the community during times of vulnerability and to see what is possible with evidence-based best practice is a great privilege. Team leading a busy tertiary obstetric and gynaecology theatre was a challenge that I cherished. “I loved my job.”

Kara has also undertaken a Masters of Community and International Development and has used her knowledge to research and contribute to policy discussion. Truth and transparency in policy development are critical to ensuring we build a healthcare system that creates Public confidence and safety. Trust in practitioners and our institutions relies on professional integrity, open scientific discourse, and accountability.

Kara is one of NPAQ’s founding members, motivated to get involved because NPAQ has no political affiliations and is an organisation run by Nurses for Nurses. An association dedicated to fighting for the best possible health system for practitioners and the patients/clients they serve.
