Daily walks and hiking are options as long
as you wear a mask and remember social
distancing. However, you don't have to
leave home to stay active.
Working in a hospital setting may fill us with
the sense that we are battling an invisible enemy,
and every code is a tug-of-war against the dark side.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made those feelings more acute than ever.
Nurses may find themselves the sole support for their patients or a patient's only
means of communicating with their family. Some nurses have even had to deal
with the horrific tragedy of their coworkers dying from the virus.
The stress levels of healthcare workers have never been higher, so it's important
that nurses prioritize self-care and find ways to recharge with positive energy.
