Thank you, Nurses, for all that you do for us! But please don’t forget to do something kind for yourself, as well! 💖💖
The Power of Knowledge
Nursing is a rewarding and challenging profession so it’s critical you have access to authentic support systems and tools. Prioritize your self-care by engaging in healthy activities that target both your body and mind. These resources from ANA offer several options to help you overcome the stressors of nursing:
Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation
Consider joining Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™, a program designed to help you maximize your health in six areas: physical activity, nutrition, rest, quality of life, safety, and mental health. Once you join the program, you can take the Healthy Nurse Survey assessment to evaluate your current health status, access information, insights, inspiring blogs, and join monthly 10-day challenges focused on supporting micro-behavior. https://www.healthynursehealthynation.org/
Nurse Well-Being: Building Peer & Leadership Support Program
Another resource, the Nurse Well-Being: Building Peer and Leadership Support Program, was developed by nurses using the Stress First Aid (SFA) Model, a framework to improve recovery from stress reactions. The program provides access to real-timenresources and tools to help nurses understand the science behind what they are experiencing, and how to manage moments of extraordinary stress.
