"When I was in school, I did not exercise great self-care because I was always studying or helping someone else figure something out. When people ask for my help, sometimes I put my needs aside to help them. I loved learning about Orem's Theory of Self-Care, and I am learning to be better about that myself!"

"There have been times in previous jobs where I struggled to delegate; I want to complete all tasks on my own. This isn't always a problem, but if complex situations crop up, not wanting to delegate tasks can come back to bite me. As a nurse, I know that I will need to rely on other nurses on my unit, as well as patient care techs and other staff. I will continue to work on my ability to delegate and rely on others."
