Working in a high-stress healthcare environment can take a toll on both your emotional and physical health. Rather than suffer and deal with the stress silently, it’s a good idea to ask for help when you need it. Turn to your coworkers for support. Find a mentor that you can trust and confide in. If you’re comfortable talking to your supervisor, reach out to them with any specific concerns about the workplace. A supportive work environment can make stress management easier. If you find that you’re not able to cope or find the assistance that you need in a high-stress healthcare workplace, it may be time for a change. There are many full-time jobs for RNs available today.
