Part of what makes a good nursing supervisor is self-awareness. Knowing your limitations and knowing when to take a step back and breathe is one of the most critical skills you can have. Use this time to talk about the importance of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and their impact on team morale which also impacts the quality of patient care.

"I always make sure that I take mental health days whenever I need to and encourage my team to do the same. I also prioritize healthy eating habits, regular exercise, good sleep, and quality time with friends and family. Taking care of myself is what makes me a better nurse and empowers me even more to give excellent patient care."
Burn out is huge among nurses so finding time to do the things I enjoy is essential. I really enjoy spending time outdoors whether it's going for walks or lying on the beach in the sun, so I try to make time for those things. Self-care looks different for everyone, so I encourage my team to find time to do the things that they enjoy at least a couple times per week. I encourage them to get enough sleep leave their work at home so they can enjoy their time off.
