As a healthcare worker, you carry the burden of duty to your patients. It’s important to recognize that by not prioritizing self-care or failing to address your own health problems, you’re putting more than just your life on the line.
On the flip side, a good daily routine can help you avoid this. You’ll be more attentive. Your personal relationships may improve, and you will likely see a decrease in side-effects from chronic stress—so long as you keep those self-care strategies for nurses and other healthcare professionals consistent.
