Shift Talk 1: Self-Care

May 26 2021 • 16 mins

On this episode, we have our very first Shift Talk. These will be reoccurring periodic segments with myself and/or friends and collogues within the current shift-work nursing community. We will discuss the good, the bad, the interesting, the saddening experiences that have occurred during some of our recent shifts. Today, we will be having a brief discussion on self-care, what that entails, and some of seen/unseen effects of not caring for ourselves as nurses.
