3. Skipping meals or breaks may contribute to nurse burnout and jeopardize nurses' health
A new study suggests that nurses are regularly sacrificing their breaks and meal periods to provide patient care. The researchers found that nurses took a break or ate a meal free of patient care responsibilities in less than half (47 percent) of the shifts they worked over a 1-month period. During the remaining shifts, they either worked nonstop throughout the entire shift (10 percent of shifts) or were able to sit down for only a short period, while remaining responsible for patient care activities during their breaks or meals (43 percent of shifts).

4. Happy Nurses Week! (May 6-12)
Since 1953, National Nurses Week has been observed to recognize the work and commitment of nurses. The week begins on May 6, marked as RN Recognition Day, and ends on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, founder of the nursing profession. [/font]
The celebration of Nurses Week is a time for reflecting on the rich sense of community that draws us together as professionals and sustains us as we engage in the practice of nursing. This years theme is Nurses: Many Roles, One Profession.
Nurses week provides an opportunity to nurture relationships among your nursing colleagues and your local community. Why not take time during nurses week to talk to your nursing colleagues and the people in your community about nursing. Share your stories and experiences, discuss contributions made by nursing to society, and begin to dialogue about ways nursing might be supported now and in the future. This is a time to celebrate what nursing is and can be in the future.
Although this Nursing Week is an recognized in America May 6-12th, I'd like to extend good wishes to nurses worldwide, so from one nurse to another. Nurses,
Thank You for all your do!
Please reply and share your stories and experiences, let's celebrate our profession! Visit:
