Long commutes can be stressful and can impact your job satisfaction. However, sometimes the commute is well worth it if you truly enjoy your nursing job.
To make it more tolerable, try taking a scenic route so that you at least have pleasant surroundings as you drive. Use GPS to find the shortest routes, which might mean taking a different one each day. Start listening to podcasts or audiobooks for entertainment. Try viewing your commute as quiet time for yourself, or see if anyone in your workplace would like to carpool with you.
Long commutes aren’t always ideal, but by using these tips you can make it more tolerable.
