MY 3 BEDSIDE NURSING TIPS 🩺

As a full time night shift nurse, comfort is key for those long shifts!

My 3 bedside nursing tips are:

•Invest into comfy sneakers that support your feet throughout the 12 hour shift. My go-to sneakers are my Hoka Clifton 9’s because they give me support, while being lightweight and durable. Yes, they are a little pricy costing around $120, but totally worth it!

•Don’t forget to take your PTO. The best part about working bedside is the flexible schedule.. use & abuse it! As you can see for my April schedule the dotted days are personal PTO days. I am moving to a new apartment so needed some time to get everything situated!

•And, most importantly make time for yourself during your shift. Whether thats going for a walk, reading a book, or watching your favorite show - you deserve to decompress even if it’s just for a few minutes!

I find that when I utilize these 3 tips that my overall physical/mental well being is better and when I don’t the burnout is just that much worse. What’s your most vital bedside nursing tip?

For night shift nurses, comfort and care are paramount. In addition to investing in supportive footwear like the Hoka Clifton 9, it's also vital to prioritize your well-being. Taking your Paid Time Off (PTO) is essential, especially when your schedule allows it. Use that time to recharge, whether it's moving houses or simply relaxing at home. Self-care is a must during shifts. Short breaks to walk, read, or listen to music can do wonders for your mental health. Burnout is a real issue in healthcare, and recognizing that you deserve to decompress—even for a few minutes—can significantly enhance your overall performance and satisfaction in your role. Overall, integrating these practices can make a considerable difference in both your physical and mental well-being as a nurse.
