Hey Nurse! I'm Christal, The Self Care Nurse and owner of Self Care RX (the prescription for your self care needs!)
I’m an ER nurse, Nurse Practitioner, wife and new mom who once suffered from major stress, unhealthy habits, compassion fatigue and burnout. To prepare for my wedding I got a trainer, started eating healthier, indulged in pampering with friends for spa days, took better care of my skin and most importantly focused on my mental health.
I was saddened by the news of an increase in nurse suicide and wished we as nurses had someone to advocate for us. So, I became that person. I started Self Care RX for two reasons. I realized that putting my mental health first was the key to fighting burnout, dealing with stress and living a healthier life. Self Care RX was created to empower, support, and encourage nurses to restore and preserve their mental health in order to fight burnout and overwhelm through self care practices. It takes work, but I assure you by working together you can get back to living your best life, thriving in your career and showing up to your family and friends as the best you you can be.
Being a product junkie myself, the second reason I created Self Care RX is to provide nurses with products that provide a moment of escape. I create products that target the specific needs of nurses starting with Code Skin: Hydrating Hand Cream (which can be found on my website).
I hope to inspire you to put yourself first as you can't pour from an empty cup. Can't wait to connect!
