Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system. But their mental and emotional health urgently needs first aid, according to the American Nursing Foundation. Here’s what nurses said in an ANA survey released in November: ➤ 66% felt stressed in the previous 14 days. ➤ 61% felt frustrated in the previous 14 days. ➤ 66% were facing mild to severe burnout. ➤ 39% were definitely quitting or likely to quit in the next 6 months. What makes nurses want to leave their jobs? Understaffing, underappreciation, compensation, workloads, and work-life balance fill out the top of the list. See more data and read the report on the ANA’s website (American Nurses Foundation, Pulse on the Nation's Nurses Survey Series: Mental Health and Wellness Survey 4, May 2023): #nurses #healthcare #burnout #workforcemanagement

RETAINING BEDSIDE NURSES: PROMOTING WELLNESS AND MENTAL HEALTH It's time to prioritize the wellness and mental health of our bedside nurses! Taking care of our nurses is more than just talking about it or setting up a room with massage chairs that no one has time to use. It's about taking real, actionable steps to ensure their well-being. Here are some ways we can make a difference: ✅ Ensure nurses get their lunch breaks as often as possible ✅ Teach time management and work prioritization skills ✅ Evaluate and improve daily workflows to better support patient care and nurse breaks Remember, a nurse missing a lunch break should be the exception, not the norm! By prioritizing our nurses' wellness and mental health, we not only show them how much we value their hard work but also create a stronger, more resilient healthcare team. Let's start the conversation! Share your ideas on how we can better support our bedside nurses' well-being in the comments below. 👇 #NursesRock #NurseLife #NursesFeedTheirYoung #DareToDoNursingDifferently #NursingLeadership

NURSES: PRIORITIZE YOUR SELF-CARE The term "self-care" may feel overused, but its essence lies in maintaining a balance between stress and self-care activities. Think of it as a scale: when stress increases, you must pour on self-care to restore equilibrium. Develop a personalized self-care plan to support your mental health and well-being throughout your nursing career. What are some ways you practice self-care as a nurse? #NursesRock #NurseLife #NursesFeedTheirYoung #DareToDoNursingDifferently #NursingLeadership
