Balancing Act: Strategies for Nurses To Improve Their Own Health and Well-being
Given the demanding nature of working as a nurse in the United States, nursing professionals often need to find ways to rest and relax outside of work. Balance and time for self-care are critical for nurses to offer their best self to their patients and avoid feeling burnt out after long days and nights of work. There are many strategies that nurses can employ to find balance outside of work, such as prioritizing their physical well-being, building stronger social connections, and setting boundaries with their work. Keep reading to discover the best ways to find balance during even the most challenging seasons of professional life. Prioritizing Physical Well-being Anyone in the nursing profession knows how important it is to maintain high energy levels. A regular exercise routine can help you build the strength and stamina needed for long work days. You must add balanced meals to your daily routine to give you the sustenance required for ten or twelve-hour shifts. At the end of a long day or night of work, getting enough sleep is essential to allow you to recharge ahead of your following working day. Try to find a wind-down routine that will enable you to switch off and go to bed without overthinking the challenges you’ve faced at work that day. Therapeutic activities, such as yoga, can also be a great way to add relaxation and rest to your weekly routine. Nurturing Mental Health In addition to taking care of physical health, nurses need to find ways to protect their mental health. (May is also Mental Health Month.) Engaging in hobbies and interests outside of work can take your mind off work stress and give you something to look forward to each week. We recommend meditation and mindfulness practices for nurses who struggle to switch their brains off from work mode at home. If you find everything is getting too much for you to handle alone, then remember that professional support is always available. No one should have to deal with so much stress alone, and taking care of your mental health is critical to performing your best at work each day. Building Strong Social Connections Every nurse needs people to share their lives and discuss their problems to survive and thrive. Holding everything inside and isolating yourself can only worsen stress, so spending time with friends and family is a great way to focus on something else. Participating in community activities can help you to connect with new people and expand your social circle. We also highly encourage nursing professionals to communicate with other nurses for support and camaraderie. While your friends and family can no doubt listen to your troubles, they will likely never really understand what it’s like each day at work. You can share stories and advice with those in your industry and learn tips and tricks to help find balance outside the hospital. Exploring Creative Outlets Artistic activities, such as painting, writing, or music, can allow nurses to express themselves and release some steam. Many nurses find crafting and DIY projects the perfect way to unwind after a long day and can help you switch your mind off before bed. Try to find joy in creative endeavors outside of the medical field. Remember, life isn’t just about working, and you’ll soon end up burnt out if you don’t work to add moments of enjoyment to your everyday routine. Embracing Nature and Outdoor Activities Working inside the walls of a healthcare facility each and every day can soon take its toll on your mental health and well-being. Spending time in nature and enjoying the outdoors is one of the best ways to refocus your mind. Hiking, camping, or nature walks are the perfect way to spend time off work. Gardening and spending time in green spaces can benefit your mental health and allow you to reconnect with the world outside of the hospital’s four walls. Nature has many therapeutic benefits, so if you spend too much time inside, schedule an outdoor activity on your next day off. Setting Boundaries and Managing Work-Life Balance Establishing clear boundaries between your work and personal life is one of the most important steps you can take to maintain your physical and mental health. We encourage you to learn about and implement time management techniques to balance work and your personal life well. Learning to say “no” is essential for any nurse who tends to work extra hours and be a “people-pleaser.” Prioritize self-care and realize this self-care is something you need to add to your schedule regularly to look after yourself and perform the best you can at your job. If you turn up to work exhausted each day, then it’s easier to make mistakes, which can be life-threatening in this industry. Final Thoughts Any nursing professional can use these strategies to help find balance and improve overall health. By getting into a healthy routine, nurses will notice a huge improvement in their overall outlook on life and a boost in energy. Propelus is also here to help. Our mission is to ensure healthcare professionals reach their full potential. That includes providing you with education and training, as well as ensuring you’re compliant, safe and healthy to work.

Celebrating Nurses Month: Honoring Extraordinary Compassion and Dedication
May is Nurses Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of nurses around the world. At Propelus, we are proud to join hands with The DAISY Foundation to honor the compassion, dedication, and positive impact within the nursing profession. A bit of background The DAISY Foundation stands as a testament to the enduring impact of nursing excellence. Established in 1999, this foundation was born out of a deeply personal journey. J. Patrick Barnes, a young man with a vibrant spirit, tragically lost his life to complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP). Throughout his illness, Patrick’s family witnessed firsthand the remarkable care and compassion provided by nurses. Moved by the profound impact of these nursing professionals, Patrick’s family sought to honor his memory in a meaningful way. They founded The DAISY Foundation, naming it in honor of Patrick’s nickname, “DAISY” (an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System). The foundation’s mission was clear: to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of nurses who provide compassionate and exceptional care. The cornerstone of The DAISY Foundation’s efforts is the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses. This prestigious award serves as a beacon of recognition for nurses who go above and beyond the call of duty, demonstrating unwavering compassion, skill, and dedication in their care for patients and families. Since its inception, the DAISY Award has been presented to over 200,000 nurses worldwide, shining a spotlight on their remarkable achievements and inspiring others in the nursing community. Recognizing nurses In the United States alone, more than 5.2 million nurses play a pivotal role in promoting community well-being and resilience. These dedicated professionals often sacrifice precious time with loved ones, working tirelessly to provide comfort and care during life’s most challenging moments. And yet, despite the vital role they play in healthcare, the work of nurses is sometimes underappreciated. Here are Propelus (just like at The DAISY Foundation) we are committed to shining a spotlight on the compassion and positive impact within the nursing profession in the month of May and throughout the rest of the year. As part of our mission to power professionals, Propelus is committed to celebrating nursing excellence through our partnership with The DAISY Foundation. We believe that nurses are the unsung heroes of healthcare, providing comfort, support, and care across the continuum of care. As we celebrate Nurses Month, we want to take the time to recognize the recent winners of the DAISY Nurse Leader Award, honored at the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) conference. Natassia Singh, BSN, RN, CCRN, Karee Nicholson, RN, MSN, CENP, and Ashley Burris, RN, are shining examples of compassionate leadership and dedication to patient care. Their stories of going above and beyond to support their teams and improve patient outcomes are truly inspiring. We invite you to read more about Natassia, Karee, and Ashley, and their remarkable contributions to healthcare on The DAISY Foundation’s website. Throughout the month of May, Propelus will also be sharing content that recognizes and supports nurses. Keep an eye on our Propelus LinkedIn page for more updates! The wrap up Let May be a poignant reminder of the countless lives touched, hearts healed, and differences made by nurses around the world. These compassionate caregivers embody the essence of selflessness, dedicating themselves to the well-being of others with unwavering compassion and skill. Take this moment to come together and celebrate the nurses who bring comfort, healing, and hope to patients and families in their care. They are the unsung heroes of healthcare, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure the best possible outcomes for those in need. To all nurses, we extend our deepest gratitude for your tireless dedication and unwavering commitment to excellence. Your compassion, kindness, and skill make a world of difference, shaping the future of healthcare and touching lives in ways that words cannot fully express. Thank you for being the heart and soul of healthcare, for your compassion that knows no bounds, and for your unwavering commitment to healing and caring for others. This Nurses Month, and every day, we honor and celebrate you.
ASHHRA 2024: 3 Key Takeaways From the Leading Healthcare HR Conference
Recently, around 300 healthcare HR professionals from across the nation gathered in Fort Worth, Texas, for the American Society for Health Care Human Resources Administration (ASHHRA) Annual Conference and Exposition to learn about the latest trends impacting the HR function in the healthcare work environment. In addition to sharing how our solutions modernize workforce compliance, our Propelus team attended sessions and connected with customers, partners and leaders across the healthcare industry. Across a variety of learning sessions and conversations, the following three key takeaways emerged. 1. Workforce shortages continue to be the biggest HR challenge for healthcare organizations As evidenced by news headlines, the U.S. healthcare industry has been grappling with a severe workforce shortage that is expected to worsen over the next few years. In fact, a recent study projected that more than 6.5 million U.S. healthcare professionals will permanently leave their positions by 2026, while only 1.9 million will step in to replace them. This topic was front and center at ASHHRA 24 and speakers talked about a variety of ways to combat the challenge, including developing innovative internship programs to expand the talent pool, leveraging AI for recruiting, helping delay retirement for career extenders by addressing their unique needs, and how psychological capital (internal resources that can help employees manage through tough situations) plays a role in nurse retention and helps avoid burnout. 2. Creating a positive employee experience takes a multifaceted approach Providing a positive employee experience is more important than ever as healthcare organizations work to nurture a sustainable, healthy workforce – especially as they face workforce shortages. However, given that organizations are also implementing cost-saving measures, ASHHRA speakers emphasized the importance of positioning employee experience initiatives as cost/retention savers versus budget strains. These speakers also covered a variety of ways to provide a positive employee experience, including creating a positive culture focused on kindness, developing workforce safety programs that leverage de-escalation training, using marketing techniques to increase employee engagement, optimizing and harmonizing benefits (especially in merger and acquisition scenarios), streamlining the onboarding process, and taking innovative approaches to employee wellbeing and employee health. Although there weren’t learning sessions focused on recognition, our Propelus team found that many HR leaders are driving recognition through programs like those from The DAISY Foundation, the international leader in meaningful nursing recognition. Propelus is a proud partner of The DAISY Foundation and at our booth, we asked visitors to complete DAISY cards that were tied to a donation for the foundation. As part of this activity, many HR leaders shared how their organizations participate in DAISY Award programs. 3. Support of patient care extends beyond the care team While clinicians are the face of the healthcare organization to the patient, the content shared at ASHHRA 24 made it clear that HR leaders play an essential role in equipping their organizations to provide the best care possible. Every day, healthcare HR leaders are working to equip their healthcare professionals with the resources they need to perform at their highest level – from providing education and training to ensuring they’re compliant, safe and healthy to work. Propelus is here to help healthcare professionals reach their full potential. Through our EverCheck, Immuware and CE Broker solutions, we’re powering professionals by giving them the best tools to achieve professional compliance and ultimately, provide safer healthcare with better outcomes.

Empowering Women in Healthcare
In honor of Women’s History Month, we want to take a moment to officially recognize the invaluable contributions of women to the healthcare industry. Women have played a crucial role in shaping the field of medicine, from pioneering groundbreaking medical advancements to advocating for gender equity in healthcare. Today, women make up 67% of the global health and social care workforce and provide essential health services for around 5 billion people worldwide. Let’s take a look at some of healthcare’s pioneers and innovators. The pioneers Elizabeth Blackwell, MD: In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman in the United States to earn a medical degree. She co-founded the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children to serve the poor, paving the way for future generations of women in medicine. Mary Edwards Walker, MD: Dr. Mary Edwards Walker became the first female surgeon in the U.S. Army during the Civil War, despite facing discrimination and challenges due to her gender. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, MD: Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler became the first black American woman to earn a medical degree in 1864. She cared for freed slaves and published a medical book to share her knowledge. Sister Mary Bernard: In 1877, Sister Mary Bernard became the first officially recognized nurse anesthetist, breaking barriers in the field of anesthesia. The innovators Clara Barton: Founder of the American Red Cross, Clara Barton dedicated her life to providing medical care and relief during times of disaster. Gerty Theresa Cori, PhD: Dr. Gerty Theresa Cori became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1947 for her discoveries in glucose metabolism. Virginia Apgar, MD: Dr. Virginia Apgar created the Apgar score for assessing newborns’ health, revolutionizing neonatal care. Loretta Ford, EdD, PNP: Co-founder of the first nurse practitioner program, Dr. Loretta Ford expanded the role of public health nurses to focus on illness prevention and health promotion. Patricia Bath, MD: Dr. Patricia Bath invented the Laserphaco Probe for cataract treatment, making cataract surgery more precise and less painful. Antonia Novello, MD: Dr. Antonia Novello became the first woman and the first Hispanic to serve as U.S. surgeon general, focusing on public health issues such as AIDS research and domestic violence. Nancy W. Dickey, MD: Dr. Nancy W. Dickey became the first female president of the American Medical Association, advocating for women’s health issues and healthcare reform. The challenges But despite significant contributions, women in healthcare often encounter various challenges that hinder their professional growth and advancement. Those challenges include: Discrimination Women in healthcare often face discrimination based on their gender. Think: being passed over for promotions, receiving lower salaries compared to their male counterparts, and encountering biased treatment in the workplace. Occupational segregation Women in healthcare are frequently clustered into lower-status and low-paid roles, such as nursing and administrative positions, while men are more likely to occupy higher-paying and leadership roles. This occupational segregation contributes to the gender pay gap and limits women’s opportunities for career advancement. Unequal pay Even though women make up a significant portion of the healthcare workforce, they continue to earn less than men (regardless of roles). This disparity in pay not only affects women’s financial well-being but also perpetuates gender inequality in the workplace. Supporting Strategies To address these challenges and empower women in healthcare, we must all make the conscious decision to implement strategies that promote gender equity and create a more inclusive work environment. Promoting leadership development Providing women with opportunities for leadership development can help them advance in their careers and break through the glass ceiling. Leadership programs tailored to women’s needs can equip them with the skills and confidence to take on leadership roles in healthcare organizations. Mentorship opportunities Mentorship programs can be instrumental in supporting women’s professional growth and development. Pairing women with experienced mentors who can provide guidance, advice, and support can help them navigate the challenges they face in their careers. Networking initiatives Creating networking opportunities for women in healthcare can help them build valuable connections, expand their professional networks, and access new career opportunities. Leveraging technology Technology can be a powerful tool for women in healthcare to manage their careers more effectively, especially for those balancing work and family responsibilities. Tools such as telemedicine, electronic health records, and online learning courses for continuing education can help women stay connected, access resources, and advance their skills. Women in healthcare – the wrap up Empowering women in healthcare is not just about recognizing their achievements but also about addressing the challenges they face and advocating for gender equity in the workforce. At Propelus, our mission is to ensure healthcare professionals reach their full potential, which includes giving them the best tools to achieve professional compliance. Women have made immense contributions to the field of medicine, from pioneering groundbreaking advancements to advocating for better healthcare practices. Together, we cam help all women advance their healthcare careers. This Women’s History Month (and every month), let’s celebrate the accomplishments of women in healthcare and continue working toward a future where gender equity is the norm. Here’s to creating a more equitable and inclusive healthcare workforce for all.
