COOL DOWN

When delivering care to others, it’s important to maintain your own physical and mental well-being.

Take a break, “cool down.”

What Self-care Strategies Help You Recharge?

We want to hear from TNA members. Please share self-care strategies that help you “cool down.”

I like to 'cool down' by being barefoot, outside in the garden, with my hands in the dirt—or cleaning my pool. Trying to prove I'm smart enough to keep it clean and sparkling makes me forget about nursing!

Johnny Hedges

I cool down by spending time with my family on weekends when my children are out of school. We go on hikes, fishing trips, camping trips, and travel to various zoos around the beautiful state of Texas.

Team building is a great way to grow with your teammates! Here we are enjoying time at Top Golf!
