 | CritCareRN @rn_critcare It's go time! Come join us! #TweetRN |
| CritCareRN @rn_critcare @from_bedside A1 #TweetRN Why are you asking the hard questions first??!! Ahhhhhh!! I have such a hard time answering this I think I'm just going to creep the other responses and sponge off them 🤷 |
 | NurseKelsey (she/her) 🌈✨🎉❤️🏳️🌈 @nursekelsey @from_bedside A1: I get up super early, before the world wakes up & I run. I make the time & trade the sleep because the endorphins keep my brain in a happy place. #TweetRN |
 | NurseBananahammock @ModerateFERN @from_bedside #TweetRN A1 Truth, sometimes i don't. It's a rough time just now, but we hv to prioritize. Getting my MSN is a short term challenge that will improve my life and prospects. But, i can usually squeeze in kayak, bike , yoga & or walk to clear my head & psyche. |
 | ChiefComplaintPod @ChiefPod @from_bedside #tweetrn A1: Sometimes simple is best. Cook out with family, go to a local festival or minor league game, even just play some video games and take it easy. |
 | Kirstin Manges Piazza PhD RN @kirstin_manges @from_bedside A1: I try to keep work at work, as much as possible. I'm lucky enough to be within 20 mins walking distance from the hospital/university. I've found walking to/from helps me get "pumped up for work" and "wind down." This helps me transition in/out of work mode. #tweetRN |
 | 𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕓𝕖𝕛𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕕 @MelissaAGNP @from_bedside A1: I try to carve out a small amount of time to myself everyday. Doesn’t always happen but getting into the habit has definitely been worth it in terms of self care. #TweetRN |
 | Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @from_bedside A1: cardio drumming at my local Herbalife store. I get to beat out all my pent up angst onto a yoga ball for an hour. 2 days later, walk my local beach searching for beach glass to stretch out the soreness! #TweetRN |
 | ICU RN @ICURN_ @from_bedside A1. I get to know my coworkers outside of work, as people. It creates small but important breaks from the stress throughout the day at work to talk about life outside of work with them. #tweetrn |
| CritCareRN @rn_critcare @from_bedside #TweetRN A1 But for real, I think I would have to say cooking. I love meal planning and prep and trying new recipes. My IG is just full of saved recipes. Crank the tunes and dance like (hopefully) nobody is watching while I work some kitchen magic |
 | NICU RN @nicunurselife @from_bedside I try to schedule at least one 4 day weekend per 6 week schedule so that I can go home (3.5 hours away) and spend quality time with my family and friends. It’s honestly the most restorative thing I do to take care of myself! #tweetRN |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 Now isn’t this the question? #NurseTwitter and #NursesWhoTweet any thoughts? |
 | Aegea/Shantetha 🏳️🌈 irl a bsn rn nvrn-bc @Litefire01 @from_bedside A1: I play video games while everyone at home is asleep on my off days. I have a 30-45 drive in and 45-1hr drive home each worknight. That drive gives me an opportunity to sing, listen to a podcast or call someone and chat. #tweetRN (I fail at hashtags) |
 | Ashley Fox RPN @AshleyFoxRPN @from_bedside Q1 #TweetRN I change my availability and I book time off. I am human. It took me to burn out a couple times to really focus on myself at times. I'm no good to anyone when I'm burned out. |
 | NeuroNerd @superneuronurse @from_bedside A1 my time off from work is my time. I don’t pick up extra time at work. #TweetRN |
 | Justin @NurseJustinRN @rn_critcare @from_bedside Excellent! I get the cheap ones at Ulta Beauty! My skin looks so good. I use this self-care trick often 😬#TweetRN |
| 𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕓𝕖𝕛𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕕 @MelissaAGNP @superneuronurse @from_bedside I used to pick up a lot of overtime but quickly started to get burned out. Don’t think I’ve worked extra in the last decade 😂 It was such a good decision for my peace of mind. #TweetRN |
 | Leah Elizabeth @leebeths @from_bedside I take various exercise classes because it helps me schedule in a workout, but I dont have to think while I'm in the class. Also boxing classes are my favorite way to get out excess stress. Nothing like punching your frustrations away! #tweetRN |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @ICU_traumaRN @ICURN_ @from_bedside It’s awesome to be able to have that deep conversation using lingo that only we understand. I’ve noticed nurses have a certain sense of humor that others just don’t get!! 🤓 #TweetRN |
| NurseKelsey (she/her) 🌈✨🎉❤️🏳️🌈 @nursekelsey @from_bedside A2: Yes! I practice intuitive eating & am getting into intuitive exercise. Both are focused on listening to your body & eating & moving without rigid rules. No living in a world of “just” or “should”. It’s so incredibly freeing. #TweetRN |
| Justin @NurseJustinRN @from_bedside A2 #TweetRN I work out 4 times a week and indulge in music because I find emotion through art. As a result, I typically feel physically how I feel emotionally. |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @from_bedside @ICU_traumaRN @ICURN_ Nooooo. Not at all. We’re all paragons of gentle conversation. 🤪🤪🤪🤪 #TweetRN |
| NurseBananahammock @ModerateFERN @from_bedside #TweetRN A2 I'm much more integrated as I've gotten older. Partly, I've learned that my feelings are changeable so they shouldn't be primary driver of decisions. Have had to balance that with developing compassion/empathy. It's a difficult balance and i fall over. A lot. |
 | Deron Dunnington @yukonrookie @TechNurseJon #tweetrn A1 Give me an outdoor project building or repairing something. Or any kinda work in my garage. |
| CritCareRN @rn_critcare @from_bedside A2 #TweetRN Sometimes. Often times if I don't catch myself before I'm running on fumes I'll end up sick. Like cry for my mom, someone make me some soup, let me stay I bed for 3 days sick. Our bodies will stop us even if our spirits won't |
 | Ms. Nurse Lady 😺 @tinynurse152 @from_bedside A1: I make time for running. Whether that means an early run or an evening run. I also believe in naps with the phone on silent so as not to be disturbed. #tweetRN |
| 𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕓𝕖𝕛𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕕 @MelissaAGNP @from_bedside A2: No. I used to exercise pretty regularly before having my son, but had a years worth of complications afterwards which killed any routine I had. Intrinsically I know I’ll feel better if I exercise (mentally and physically) but can’t motivate to actually do it. #TweetRN |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @from_bedside A2: I try. I dissociate from others when I’m losing my sync. I have a core group of coworkers that will tell me I’m “going cold” on people and it jumps me back into awareness and back into some self reflection. #TweetRN |
| NeuroNerd @superneuronurse @from_bedside A2 sometimes. I tend to brush off my sads, even when it would be better to deal with them. I’m much more in tune with all the other feelings I have. #TweetRN |
| Aegea/Shantetha 🏳️🌈 irl a bsn rn nvrn-bc @Litefire01 @from_bedside #TweetRN A2: yes, feelings is/are important there are times where those feelings are delayed and a timeout for release has to happen after the crisis/event/code etc is over. Knowing and understanding your own feelings is important to processing and finding your new normal. |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @TraumaLarson @from_bedside I completely understand dissociating. For me, it was a coping mech that worked in my teen years that’s not so good now. Was it the same for you? #TweetRN |
| Aegea/Shantetha 🏳️🌈 irl a bsn rn nvrn-bc @Litefire01 @from_bedside #tweetRN A2:part B, also having someone to talk to councilor, mentor, faith leader, coworker can help when you can’t find the right works to even figure out your feelings on an event. |
| Kirstin Manges Piazza PhD RN @kirstin_manges @ERNurseNyssa @reepRN @from_bedside I go for a run, call my family, call friends that I know need someone to listen to them, meditate, watch tv, or even play silly phone games. 😂 #tweetrn |
| NICU RN @nicunurselife @from_bedside It depends on the feeling. I don’t allow myself to feel as much as I should. This job is heavy and if I let it, it can make me feel heavy too. I try really hard to ignore the tiredness on work days, but on days off, especially after 3 in a row, I’m all about naps! #tweetRN |
 | Kris @RN_craftbeer @from_bedside A3: is this really a thing? Lol (kidding) I’ve been forcing myself lately to go and take a break. I’m no good to my patients if I’m running ragged so I might as well go & take my lunch break (even if it’s for 15 mins) #tweetRN |
| Justin @NurseJustinRN @from_bedside #TweetRN, this one is tough. I usually sneak out to the car and plug my phone in, close my eyes, and take purposeful breaths hoping not to fall asleep! It works just wish I had more time to do this each day! |
| NurseBananahammock @ModerateFERN @from_bedside #TweetRN A3 Potlucks. ;) Srsly, bonding activities, fun. Celebrations when newb finishes orientation, holiday or big sport event parties. Supporting each other thru rough shifts & challenging pts/families/docs. |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @from_bedside A3: heavy doses of sarcasm & laughter. The rare bathroom break. Adult coloring book. When you see coworkers needing that moment, calling them out in a way that they know their needs are seen. Giving that person permission to take a few moments to just be. #TweetRN |
| CritCareRN @rn_critcare @from_bedside A3 #TweetRN Find a tribe. You cannot be in these trenches alone. You need someone to confide in, laugh at some truly messed up jokes with, and just be with who understands the gut wrenching work we do. |
| NurseKelsey (she/her) 🌈✨🎉❤️🏳️🌈 @nursekelsey @from_bedside A3: FWIW I’m MUCH better at this 12 years in (and two kids later) than I was as a newer nurse. I simply know my limits better now. You can’t pour from an empty cup. I can’t help others if I don’t take care of me. I’m important too. #TweetRN |
| 𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕝𝕝 𝕓𝕖𝕛𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕕 @MelissaAGNP @from_bedside A3: I have an amazing mentor and we try to chat throughout the week, especially about challenging cases. It has been so helpful to be able to vent and to also get another perspective. #TweetRN |
| Kirstin Manges Piazza PhD RN @kirstin_manges @from_bedside On the night shift we had a culture where the charge nurse would always make sure everyone got a lunch & we always worked well as a team. Kinda corny but, by caring for each other we cared for ourselves. #TweetRN |
| NICU RN @nicunurselife @from_bedside Also, what we lovingly refer to as circle time. Everyone pulls a recliner to the edge of their respective bed spot in the pod and we talk life. Often times while snuggling one of the peanuts if you have a cuddler! It’s my favorite part of the night! #tweetRN |
| CritCareRN @rn_critcare Great chat happening right now! |
| Deron Dunnington @yukonrookie @from_bedside #Tweetrn I have found that by making myself available to my leadership students, interns, & externs that I am getting invited to breakfast for conversations about work and life. Also carrying on social media conversations in Twitter, insta, & messenger to help newbies unwind p wk |
 | Janna @NurseJannaRN @from_bedside A2 working on this. I usually don’t realize until I’m off that I’ve neglected drinking water or going to the bathroom or eating enough... #TweetRN |
| NeuroNerd @superneuronurse @from_bedside A3 I set boundaries at work. We laugh a lot. I make sure I’m a good team member-I feel good helping others. I take a break when I need to. I always have a big cup of water to drink with me-I joke with my manager she can pry my water out of my cold dead uroseptic hands #TweetRN |
| Aegea/Shantetha 🏳️🌈 irl a bsn rn nvrn-bc @Litefire01 @from_bedside #tweetRN take 5 and go to the coffee shop downstairs, my icu also has an amazing Japanese massage chair but I rarely feel like using it. https://t.co/fSIYxWpXIZ |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @nicunurselife @from_bedside This is the highlight of my mornings. I go in around 530-6 just to sit in our nursery & love on some munchkins. Great time to connect with the staff as they’re winding down their shift. #TweetRN |
| Justin @NurseJustinRN Join us as we chat insightfully! #TweetRN |
| Janna @NurseJannaRN @from_bedside A3 I set my intention for the shift every morning as I’m walking up the stairs. I give/get hugs from my work fam. I keep calm no matter what and tell myself on bad days “you can do ANYTHING for 12 hours.” #TweetRN |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @nicunurselife @from_bedside 12 years of nights on a postpartum unit. Only reason I left was to take the educator role. If I could do this job on nights, I would. Going in super early gives me a sense of home. #TweetRN |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @TechNurseJon Because nurses can party. We do full-on cookouts in the break room. Portable grills, waffle irons, ice cream bars. . . Nothing like a good #nutritionalinservice to make the shift flow better!! #TweetRN |
| Justin @NurseJustinRN @from_bedside A4 Use that PTO!! It's yours. Even if you don't go anywhere, but even better if you do, we do not take off enough. We all need a breather to find ourselves and explore our interests. #TweetRN |
| NurseBananahammock @ModerateFERN @from_bedside #TweetRN A4 Time w/Critter and Mr.B-hammock. Prayer & meditation. Yoga, physical exertion. |
 | Joe Perazzo, PhD, RN (JoJo_RN) @writer_rn @from_bedside #tweetRN I learned how to say no. Remember-We train people how to treat us- and we need time for ourselves. I used to respond to emails almost immediately up until midnight... I’d fill in whenever anyone asked... and these things suddenly morph from courtesies to expectations. |
| CritCareRN @rn_critcare @from_bedside A4 #TweetRN It starts with catching up on sleep. Missed sleep from a nightshift, or from tossing and turning over the shift previous. I need that back. And then just the simple check list of things to do on my days off. Each one an accomplishment. Keep it simple. |
| NICU RN @nicunurselife @from_bedside I’m pretty fond of a bubble bath, a glass of wine, and a good book. I also give myself permission to have lazy days, even if I’ve got 10 things to do, if that’s what my body or mind need. I sit at home, binge Netflix, and nap. #tweetRN |
| NeuroNerd @superneuronurse @from_bedside A4 I get outside. Spend time with Mister and family. Hug my cats. Read books. Sleep. Sometimes, I feel like I just need to be touching Mister-sitting next to him, or hugging, just having him nearby. #TweetRN |
 | 💉CriticalCareBear🐻 @ATLmurse @from_bedside A4: “add to cart” No seriously. You gotta treat yourself every now and then. Maybe some ice cream, some Amazon therapy, or even just some time to sit an read a book. #TweetRN #treatyoself |
| Heather DiCioccio DNP RN @missinu3400 @from_bedside A4: kids start back to school next week & hubby is at work so I am taking a full week of PTO. By myself. Cleaning. Silence. Exercise. SLEEP. I try to be strategic in my PTO planning. #TweetRN |
| Kris @RN_craftbeer @from_bedside A4. I take “me days” get a massage, shop, get my nails done, etc. Catch up on sleep and binge on my tv shows. #tweetRN |
 | Citizen Strider ☭🇵🇸 @NurseStrider @from_bedside A3 I try to keep moral up, even in dark times. Laugh, smile, and positive thought #tweetrn |
| Citizen Strider ☭🇵🇸 @NurseStrider @from_bedside A4 weights, nothing grounds me more that lifting. It sounds super cheesy but it's my temple. Everyone knows me, is happy to see me and I am able to do what I love, as well as pick things up and put them down. #TweetRN |
 | 💐 🌻Harley’s 🐶 Mama Meg🪻🌦️ @SpoiledMeg_89 I’m fortunate to work in an office setting so I make sure I leave the office completely for lunch for a break. Since I’m able to take breaks, my breaks are sacred lol #tweetRN |
| 💐 🌻Harley’s 🐶 Mama Meg🪻🌦️ @SpoiledMeg_89 Only if I’m not in an urgent situation #TweetRN |
| Ms. Nurse Lady 😺 @tinynurse152 @from_bedside A1: simple. When I need to pee, I’m going to pee. If I need just one second to sit, if it’s not a critical situation, I’m gonna have a seat for a moment. #tweetRN |
| 💐 🌻Harley’s 🐶 Mama Meg🪻🌦️ @SpoiledMeg_89 I diffuse oils in my office, take breaks to walk around outside, learn to say no and ask for help #TweetRN |
 | Ali @ali_n_wundrland @from_bedside A1....easier said than done? Should be practicing what we preach...? In the middle of a crappy busy summer at work this is a challenge. Work life balance isn’t in balance... curious to see how others reply. #tweetrn |
| Aegea/Shantetha 🏳️🌈 irl a bsn rn nvrn-bc @Litefire01 @from_bedside #tweetRN I kinda covered this in A2, oops. |
| 💐 🌻Harley’s 🐶 Mama Meg🪻🌦️ @SpoiledMeg_89 I like to go to the park for a walk through the woods! #TweetRN |
 | that one nurse epi 🐀🏳️🌈 @SobsInEpi @from_bedside #TweetRN A1- Late to the party 😉 I unsexily schedule it into my calendar and treat it as a standing appointment. I don't work through my lunches routinely and take all my vacation time. |
| that one nurse epi 🐀🏳️🌈 @SobsInEpi @from_bedside #TweetRN A2 late to the party 😉 Probably not as much as I should. |
| that one nurse epi 🐀🏳️🌈 @SobsInEpi @from_bedside #TweetRN A3: Taking my lunches, not working more than the time I am supposed to be there. Taking a 5 minute breather when I need to. Get up from the computer chair and do some stretching here and there to compensate for my terrible posture. Bringing nutritious lunches. |
| that one nurse epi 🐀🏳️🌈 @SobsInEpi @from_bedside #TweetRN A4: Doing the physical activity I am physically capable of doing (varies by day/pain level), spending time with quality people outside of work. Just got into photography with the early birthday gift of a very nice camera, so that's an excuse for outdoors. |
| Ali @ali_n_wundrland @from_bedside A3...recently have been trying to get outside/off the unit for some of my breaks. Chat in the lunch room is often work focused and not always in a productive way. Sometimes a seat in the grass under a tree with a good playlist in my earphones is what I need most #tweetrn |
| Ashley Fox RPN @AshleyFoxRPN @from_bedside Q3 #TweetRN taking breaks. |
| Ali @ali_n_wundrland @from_bedside A4...sleep, good food, yoga, outdoor time, hobbies that have nothing to do with medicine.... catching up on life helps but can be a stressor all at the same time. Need to get back in the habit of reading more often (again nothing work related). #tweetrn |
| Kirstin Manges Piazza PhD RN @kirstin_manges @LaurelOakGroup @from_bedside My coworkers always laugh at me, but before I walk into tricky situation I always say to myself: "I am patient, I am kind" while hand sanitizing. Now that I think of it, that is kind of a way to center! 🙂 #TweetRN |
| Ms. Nurse Lady 😺 @tinynurse152 @from_bedside Then I forgot the hashtag 😹 #tweetRN |
