Is Nursing All About Stress?
It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this site, but all is well. In fact, things are great!
I’ve been doing a lot to bring more resources to you and that includes working with a number of other great online nursing and meditation resources.
Recently I posted an article on the site, allnurses.com. And I’d like to share that article with you.
As nurses, we know the meaning of stress. In fact, we may know its meaning more intimately than most of our peers who work in other professions. This is partially because we’ve seen the devastating effects that chronic stress has on the bodies of our patients. It’s also because nursing is reported to be one of the most stressful professions.
Why is it that when we enter into discussions on how to decrease stress in nursing, we usually point to changing things external to ourselves and that when we try to change how we deal with stress, we usually end up stressing out about that too?
Sometimes it seems it is all about the stress until we remind one another it is about the patient. That simple phrase can snap you back into rationale thinking and dealing with the factors of stress. Refocusing on the situation and using emotional intelligence to think thru with out reacting emotionally to the stress helps. Much easier said than done!!
Nursing job is not very easy task it is very responsible and demand more time for you. where you cannot get more time for your own and sometime if you need rest than also you couldn’t.. So choosing nursing profession is very challenging job.
