Quick and Easy Health-Promoting, Mood-Boosting Wellness Activities for Nursing Students
1Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, The City University of New York, New York, New York.
Abstract:
The nursing profession not only is fulfilling but can also be stressful and exhausting. Rewarding students for making time for wellness activities meets the personal health and well-being competencies found in Domain 10.1 of the new Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education. In this article, I provide instructions and rationale for nurse educators to include quick and easy, health-promoting, mood-boosting wellness activities in their classes for all nursing degree levels. My goal is to motivate nurse educators to teach nursing students the importance of self-care to foster well-being so that they may flourish emotionally and physically.
