NURSING CAN BE NICE

Dear nurses,

The week is almost over. Hope you had a good week. 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.
Enjoy learning more Clinical information. If you have any helpful suggestions, let us know.
