Self care

From September 2-6, we celebrate Women’s Health Week. A big thank you to all the incredible women in nursing and midwifery, who juggle so much each day.

Exposure to trauma, violence, under-staffing. Hannah talks about her workplace and the benefits of talking to a health service that understands what it is to be a nurse.

Grief is a normal response to loss, and many of us grieve when a patient dies. How to recognise the signs, and ideas to help you cope.

Make time to ‘exist’ outside of work. Nurse unit manager Nel shares her ideas for carving out time to do the things you love.

Everyone wins if nurses and midwives ask for help before we develop a chronic health issue. Find out how to make it the default at your work.

Simple, deliberate exercises 4 times a day help build better strength than one big weekly gym session. No equipment needed. Find out how.

Joy is more than a good feeling; it may be just the tonic to support your health. Build joy into your everyday and enjoy the mental, emotional, and physical benefits.
