Just as kintsugi does not attempt to disguise the cracks but highlights them with gold, nurse educators can encourage nurses to view their emotional and professional scars as part of their unique professional story. Instead of feeling shame or a sense of failure for past errors or burnout, nurses can be taught to honor these experiences as lessons that contribute to their growth and empathy.

I offer a unique one day seminar for nurse educators and clinical teachers , lecturers . We focus on building up our nurses and seeing deficits as not so much a scar but in a thread of the tapestry that is each individual nurse.
