Nursing has been my passion and my purpose for as long as I can remember. I love and have always loved nursing. I am a proud nurse. A committed nurse.

I have nursed for many years. My nursing journey has taken me across continents and to many countries, where I have worked with an incredible diversity of healthcare professionals and teams from many different cultures, backgrounds, and ethnicities.

I have filled many nursing roles as student, as nurse, theatre nurse, clinical instructor, tutor, supervisor, air ambulance and paramedic trainer, agency nurse, matron, quality consultant, coach and mentor and nurse manager.

I have been a Director of Nursing, a senior executive and nurse leader and,

in a challenging full circle moment, I recently returned to the bedside as a staff nurse on the frontline during the pandemic.

Nursing Wisdom+ was born out of this journey.

For it was here, that I learned what it takes to stand tall and be a nurse under challenging circumstances.

To always remain true to your nursing values and to stand strong.

To never stop growing as a nurse, personally, professionally, and academically

and to never stop loving being a nurse.

And this is what I am so committed to sharing.

It is my Nursing Legacy.

I have taken a wealth of nursing experience, heaps of nursing knowledge,

a vast treasury of nursing wisdom and an incredible love of nursing,

distilled these and mixed them with a sprinkle of magic ‘fairy’ dust and

produced NURSING WISDOM + , offering me, Patricia Temple,

as a complete resource for coaching, guidance, and mentorship,

to inspire, to nurture, to motivate, and support nurses

on every stage of their nursing journey.

Because that is what I do and what I love to do.

I 'GROW' Nurses.

For all nurses, I will be their Whole-of-Career Mentor, their 1-1 Nursing and Life Coach,

someone who knows and loves nursing, and

who would be honoured to walk alongside them at whatever stage of their personal or professional nursing journey they are on,

to share with them all the knowledge, wisdom and experience

that I have accumulated on my own personal nursing journey

and to keep them nursing – happily.

I have coached and mentored many students to success

in their academic and clinical placements.

Accompanying nurses on their journeys and living and sharing their nursing experiences

has given me the opportunity to inspire and motivate many nurses,

who are now working all over the world

keeping the lamp alight and

being the best nurse they can be.

With NURSING WISDOM+ I have also developed

my very special signature programme

Finding Your Florence.

Finding your Florence

takes you on a

personal journey of self-discovery, reflection and renewal;

a journey fostering a renewed sense of caring, compassion, connection, and commitment;

a journey to your authentic nursing self;

a journey to restore your nursing soul and your nursing heart.

On your journey to Finding Your Florence,

you will have the opportunity to not only further

develop but also acquire a unique armoury of your own Nursing Superpowers,

so that you are well equipped to deal with not only the daily challenges

you face in both your personal and professional life

but are also prepared to be a voice for the change

so necessary in our nursing life and patient care today.

To stand in your power and be the nurse and the person you were born to be.

A Warrior Nurse.
