Calling all nurses: This one's for you!
Nurses put themselves in the front lines of health care, and as a result, stress becomes a part of their daily lives. Yet, despite all they do for others, nurses often find difficulty in caring for themselves. In their new workbook, Self-Healing Through Reflection: A Workbook for Nurses, Nancy Jo Bush and Deborah A. Boyle offer information, exercises, and tools for self-reflection to better help nurses cope with personal and professional stressors so they can provide themselves with the same level of care as they do their patients.
