time to relax

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Nursing School and Nursing as a career can be really stressful and tough and emotional and we all have our bad days. I think most will agree with me when I say its worth it because Nursing is just great in loads of other ways :) However, we all need time to relax and chill out. What do you like to do to relax after a stressful day?

Personally I love to jam on my guitar and sing on the top of my voice lol I then have a cuppa tea maybe watch some tv before hitting the hay :) oh I find playing with my diabolo stress relieving

What do you like to do??

Balancing stress with relaxation or relaxing interests is important for nurses.

Its always more fun in a group setting as illustrated in the video clip below...

To relax: I swim, I cycle, and I run. The heat has me running inside these days (yuck) but with a triathlon in Sept and a half marathon in Oct, I can't take days off from training. Running is a great stress reliever! 10 miles to unwind is the best. Not sure how I'm going to fit in my long runs once I start school, but NOT running is NOT an option.

have a margarita in the pool floating with my puppy.

I have a 70 pound puppy. 10 months. He loves going in the pool (in ground). He is kind of a terrible swimmer at times so i put a life jacket on him and he is like a kid, he goes all day.

Throws himself some sticks, loves fun noodles and jumping in. My favorite :) just watching him have a blast.

Or my fiance and i love going for an evening fish down by the creek after work.

Kayaking. We are purchasing some kayaks soon. so sick of renting!!
