Hand Hygiene: Shocking Statistics & How To Take Care of Your Hands
We’ve done the math on how many times nurses perform hand hygiene, plus some shocking facts and a few tips on how to take care of your hands as a nurse.
Our relentless research goes beyond shoes. Capsol allows us to talk all things nursing, from career advice and current news to self-care and mental health. These conversations with you, the community, and the world at large help us put our best foot forward when creating the best nursing shoes on the planet.
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.
We’re often the hardest on ourselves. Go a little easier on yourself. You’re trying your best.
Because we could all use a little extra kindness and compassion these days.
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.
Join forces with someone who can offer guidance and knowledge to further your personal and professional development.
Offer your knowledge and guidance to someone in need.
Grow your network of nursing and healthcare professional contacts. Sometimes, it all comes down to who you know!
You worked hard to become a nurse. Don’t let your career get stagnant.
We know you’re on your feet all day, but you know how important exercise is to your health.
Life is short. Spend it with the ones you love.
You’re busy. Strategize to maximize your time better and get more done.
Be patient with others and yourself.
Remember this – every person you meet knows something that you don’t. Stay open-minded.
Sometimes a positive attitude can make all the difference in the world.
Nursing is all about advocacy. Strive to be the best patient advocate you can be.
Get more involved in what’s going on in your hospital or clinic setting.
Life’s not all work. Find something fun to do that’s all your own.
Afterall, they’re family too.
Be mindful and live in the moment.
Happy New Year from the Capsol Team! Here’s to a better and brighter 2021!
