I was ending a very challenging day today and on my 1.5hr commute home I wondered what you all do to decompress from your day? I did a quick search on allnurses and came up with rectal tubes, various shift lengths, different department mentions but nothing specifically mentioning how do nurses decompress after work (unless I missed it). ?
I tend to listen to 50’s-60’s music on my way home to get my mind off my day. When I get home I enjoy cooking A LOT and when I just want quiet time I enjoy creating origami models. I was also interested to know if any of you journal about your days?
When I have an entire day off I generally hike for hours with my Nikon camera or cook literally all day.
How about you?
