Posted almost 5 years ago Nursing is very stressful, as we all know.How do you unwind,destress? I think we could all learn alot from others on ways to improve our physical and emotional well being. I mentally rewind on my drive home, listen to the radio, talk to a friend, just enjoy the beauty of the world around me.I read at home, my bible, and other books.I get online.I just recently started going to the Y, exercise is a great way for me to relax, and lose all the weight i need to lose,lol.I love to swim, i think i was supposed to be a fish,lol. So what are some others you guys use? |

| Posted over 4 years ago I'm not a nurse (yet). I'm still in nursing school (which I'm sure you all remember is enough stress on its own). When I feel I need to unwind, I will usually turn on music by bands that I love (Depeche Mode, And One, etc.) and dance around my apartment. My boys will see my dancing and want to join in, which makes it even more fun. If not, a good cry always helps! |

| Posted over 4 years ago read, write in my journal, hang out with friends and vent, catch up on sleep, enjoy family time, hot bubble baths "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not."
