Self Care for Nurses: Small Doses for Wellness offers self-care practices in bite-sized chunks for nurses on the go

INDIANAPOLIS—Resilience is a word that elicits strong reactions, and many times those reactions are negative. However, according to authors Natalie B. May, Tim Cunningham, and Dorrie K. Fontaine, resilience is also the key to creating a work environment where nurses can thrive. Enter Self Care for Nurses: Small Doses for Wellness, the latest title from Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma), which offers strategies help nurses flourish in good times and grow in difficult ones. 

Self Care for Nurses is grounded in research and rich in expertise from nurses and other practitioners on the healthcare spectrum to help nurses flourish in good times and grow in the difficult ones.
