NURSING CAN BE NICE

Updated 5/25Dear nurses,

 Have you ever thought about ways to make the workplace
less stressful and enjoyable? Here are some helpful hints:

- If you have a light assignment and your coworker has a
   heavy one, why not offer some help.

- If you had a break and your coworker did not, why not
  offer to relieve your coworker.

Or, why not offer your coworker a cold drink or snack.

- If there is an unexpected emergency like a Code Blue,
  ask if there is anything you can help with.
