Creatively different

I guess creativity can come in a host of different ways. In my recent appraisal at work, ( one of those things that apparently are supposed to be done annually, though for me I haven't had one in 4 years), - I said that I wanted to use my creativity in my everyday work practice. I did an inservice on Paternal depression following the birth of a baby 2 days ago at work. It was a fascinating topic and I found a host of great articles. I read and read, and thought that I was coming a little closer to understanding how men tick. I found that one of the research papers was written by a local Dr from Blacktown hospital. So I emailed him and quickly got a response. I have continued to communicate with him on the topic and now he is interested in working with us on the subject. I have never sought to be a big wig in nursing but always believed that you could have an influence at a grass roots level. The inservice was well received by my tough audience (my peers) and it fascilitated lots of discussion, and an interest in taking this subject and incorporating it into our daily practice. I contacted Beyond Blue who said that they have just proiduced a book on paternal emotions called HEY DAD (probably an unfortunate name given the recent controversy over the male star of the TV show). It sounds really exciting to have found a fresh new topic that is also hot on the national adgenda. So, how was I creative? I made a front cover to my "pre-reading" which had loits of opportunity for colouring in, should my talk get boring to them. No one coloured in, so that was a win-win!
