i love this concept for rejuvenation of the nursing staff!
meanwhile, i think it helps to meditate on pleasant rejuvenating things in the world sometimes while at work every once in a while...a beautiful ocean scene (carmel beach is my favorite! near monterey ca)
then again i think our patients could use a little r and r...
possibly set up beautiful gardens in front of every room to look out onto possibly have a heated pool in a forested environment where they could be clad in wet suits and or floats and enjoy a weightless environment with clean fresh air and sunshine
howabout an outdoors icu where they could experience the natural progression from morning to twilight and not be bombarded with alarms
these are just dream concepts. please don't chirp in here and say how loony telerner is! :paw: :paw: :paw:
here is a link to the american cancer society about this topic:

would you like to work in a hospital with a "Healing Sky Garden" ? It's a hanging garden that provide a welcoming, fragrant, full of color, a place to relax, convene, and have a small group discussion. The Healing Sky Garden not only allows nurses to experience the restorative benefits of being around nature but also provides naturopathic therapies such as "Aromatherapy", "Hydrotherapy" (ex. spa and hot tub) and "Vibroacoustic Therapy" (a type of music that is capable of assisting its listeners in reaching slower brainwave states), "herb tea therapy" (teas that are made with variety of fruits, herbs and spices, and most importantly, it's caffeine free) where nurses will remember it as a special experience.
