"Taking A Mental Health Day"

Nurses Stress 101

Published

Hi,

Just wanted to know everyones take on taking a mental health day. I had to take one today. I work on an extremely busy med-surg-tele-oncology floor and i am also a new nurse, almost 9 months into my career. I rarely ever call out but since we have been short staffed the past couple of months i have called out twice due to overwhelming stress and just being dog tired. Just want to know everyone take on taking mental health day and have you taken them?

Specializes in ICU, Postpartum, Onc, PACU.

I'm 4 years in and I just heard about mental health days a couple months ago!! haha!
