The Power of Storytelling in Nursing

Nurse Reflections

Storytelling has always been part of nursing. We carry the stories of patients who impacted us—stories of resilience, heartbreak, and unexpected joy.

When nurses share stories, they move hearts, inspire change, and remind the world that healthcare isn’t just clinical—it’s deeply human.

At JRM Nurse Consultants, we listen, we remember, and we reflect. Every story shared becomes a lesson in compassion.

Magnify Your Voice — Nurses as Advocates

Advocacy in Nursing

As nurses, we often speak for those who can’t—amplifying the voices of patients who are overwhelmed, in pain, or unheard. We bridge the gaps between doctors, employers, and insurers to ensure injured workers are not forgotten in a system that can feel cold and complex.

At JRM Nurse Consultants, we believe in magnifying the voice of every injured worker—ensuring they are seen, heard, and treated with dignity throughout their recovery.

Because when a nurse speaks, it’s not just with knowledge—it’s with heart, experience, and advocacy.

Why Injured Workers Need More Than Pain Meds: The Functional Medicine Approach

By Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LEHP, LNC, BC-FMP
Functional Medicine Nurse Consultant

When someone is injured on the job, the typical medical response often focuses heavily on managing pain—usually through medication—and recommending rest. While pain relief is important, this approach frequently leaves injured workers without the comprehensive support needed to fully heal and regain function. As a Functional Health Nurse and case manager, I’ve witnessed firsthand how this narrow focus can prolong suffering and delay recovery.

The Limits of Conventional Care for Injured Workers

Traditional treatment often prioritizes symptom management rather than addressing the underlying causes that prevent healing. Pain medications may mask discomfort temporarily, but do not resolve the biological or emotional factors fueling chronic pain or delayed recovery. Meanwhile, injured workers may be advised to rest extensively, which can lead to muscle weakness, reduced mobility, and even increased pain over time.

Unfortunately, this cycle can leave workers feeling stuck, frustrated, and concerned about their ability to return to work and everyday life.

How Functional Medicine Bridges the Gap

Functional Medicine is a whole-person approach that considers the complex interactions between nutrition, inflammation, hormones, nervous system function, and emotional health. It’s especially valuable for injured workers because it helps identify and address the root causes of slow healing and persistent pain.

Here’s how Functional Medicine can transform recovery:

  1. Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition Support

Chronic inflammation is a major barrier to healing after injury. Certain foods can either fuel or fight inflammation. Through personalized nutritional guidance, we help injured workers reduce inflammatory triggers and incorporate nutrient-dense, healing foods that support tissue repair and overall wellness.

  1. Gut Healing Protocols

The gut plays a surprisingly powerful role in recovery. Poor gut health can contribute to systemic inflammation and impair nutrient absorption, both of which slow healing. Functional Medicine addresses gut imbalances with targeted protocols to restore balance, support the immune system, and optimize digestion.

  1. Functional Lab Testing for Hormone and Adrenal Health

Stress from injury can disrupt hormone balance and adrenal function, which impacts energy levels, pain perception, and tissue repair. Functional lab testing provides deeper insights beyond conventional labs, allowing for tailored interventions to rebalance these critical systems and support recovery.

  1. Nervous System Care After Trauma

Physical injury is often accompanied by nervous system dysregulation, especially after trauma or chronic pain. Techniques to calm the nervous system—including breathing exercises, mindfulness, and gentle movement—can reduce pain sensitivity and improve overall function.

Why This Matters for Injured Workers

Injured workers deserve more than just medication and rest. They need a comprehensive roadmap that empowers them to take control of their healing journey and rebuild their health, function, and quality of life.

By integrating Functional Medicine into recovery plans, injured workers can experience:

  • Reduced pain and inflammation
  • Improved energy and stamina
  • Better sleep and mood
  • Enhanced ability to return to work safely and confidently

PROMIS — Listening to What the Patient Tells Us

By Dr. Rosie Moore, DNP, RN, LNC, LEHP, BC-FMP

The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is transforming how healthcare providers understand recovery. Instead of focusing solely on lab values, imaging, or physical assessments, PROMIS centers on what patients themselves report about their health, symptoms, and function.

Developed through rigorous research and widely validated across many medical specialties, PROMIS tools measure important aspects of health, including:

  • Fatigue and energy levels

  • Pain intensity and pain interference in daily life

  • Physical function, such as mobility and strength

  • Emotional health and the ability to cope with stress

As a functional medicine nurse consultant supporting injured workers, I use PROMIS questionnaires to bring the patient’s voice into the center of care. These insights go beyond what clinical exams can show. For example, two people with the same back injury may have very different experiences of pain, resilience, and functional recovery. PROMIS helps capture those differences so treatment plans are tailored to the individual.

Listening with intention matters. When patients feel heard, they are more engaged in their own recovery. When providers have reliable patient-reported data, they can make better decisions about work accommodations, rehabilitation strategies, and ongoing care.

At JRM Nurse Consultants, our approach combines medical expertise with tools like PROMIS to ensure a whole-person view of recovery. Whether it’s guiding injured workers through the workers’ compensation process, supporting providers with functional assessments, or helping employers plan safe return-to-work pathways, patient-reported outcomes give us the missing piece of the puzzle: how recovery truly feels.

Recovery is more than what we see on paper. It is also what the patient tells us.
