21 resolutions for nurses in 2021
Can we all just give a collective breath of relief that 2020 is coming to a close? Seriously – we don’t have to tell you that this year has been one of the most insane years ever, particularly for the medical community. I think we can speak for us all when we say we’re happy to see this year end and are are looking forward to a (hopefully) better 2021.
Much of what was going on in 2020 was beyond our control, and we all had to do our best given the circumstances. While we hope that 2021 takes it a little easier on humankind, there are going to be aspects out of our control. But, that doesn’t mean that we can’t resolve to improve or change what we can to help make 2021 a better year both personally and for our communities.
All being said, we’ve thought long and hard, and here are 21 resolutions that we think are just right for nurses in 2021.
21. Be kind to yourself
We’re often the hardest on ourselves. Go a little easier on yourself. You’re trying your best.
20. be kind to others
Because we could all use a little extra kindness and compassion these days.
18. PRIORITIZE YOUR PERSONAL HEALTH
Taking care of the health of others doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your own.

Often, the most important changes start with personal effort.

Every meal is an opportunity to fuel your body and your health.

14. BE A MENTOR

Grow your network of nursing and healthcare professional contacts. Sometimes, it all comes down to who you know!
