Nursing can be stressful. If stress is not managed well, it can lead to burnout and affect both physical and emotional health. Here are 4 helpful tips for managing stress:
- Breathing is a great way to quickly relieve stress. Breathe in deeply through your nose and out through your mouth.
- Talk a problem through with a positive thinking friend or colleague to help you problem-solve and to look at the situation from a new perspective.
- Exercise by taking a walk, ideally in nature or just by using the stairs during a break.
- Take time to relax, by listening to music, taking a warm bath or spending time with friends and family.
