As nurses, we aren’t too great about taking care of ourselves. The majority of us are sleep-deprived, stressed, and overweight. I’ve been there, and I’ve resolved to never go back.

I blog regularly at the Oncology Nursing Society’s RE:Connect blog, and this year I am challenging colleagues to take care of themselves for an entire year – one week at a time with a different focus each week – in the 52 Weeks of Self-Care series. You don’t have to be an oncology nurse to enjoy RE:Connect (or benefit from the self-care challenge); blog topics range widely among the twelve nurse bloggers who live across the world.

Stop by; say “hey!” Take on a weekly challenge; let me know how it goes.

Take care, Friends. Take care.
