We believe in vacation time and believe that NURSES SHOULD TAKE THEIR VACATION TIME!!!   In almost every nursing shift that a nurse works he/she will experience almost every emotion known to man and work hard physically as well as mentally.  Because of the nature of the business nurses are the first to forget about themselves and worry about taking care of others, allowing themselves to become tired and worn down.  It is important for nurses to take a break so that they can continue to provide excellent care and have compassion.

Here are the top 5 reasons we think NURSES NEED VACATION!!!!

1.  Nurses are required to be quick thinkers.  In a constantly changing environment their brains are working all the time.  Their BRAINS need a break.


2.  Nurses are physical work horses.  They lift, pull, push, walk, run, and are in constant physical motion.  This means their bones and muscles need time off.  They need a PHYSICAL break.



3.  Nurses experience every emotion under the sun with their patients, families, coworkers, employers, and anybody they come into contact with.  Nurses have HEARTS that need time off to heal.


4.  Nurses often work holidays, weekends, and nights while others are off so that they can take care of others loved ones.  They often miss out on their own family events to perform their duty.  This can cause tension and be unnerving.  Their NERVES need a vacation to refuel.


5.  Nurses are required to be adapatable at all times.  They have to be adaptable to situations with patients, coworkers, and employers.  This means their "ADAPTORS" need time off to rest so they can be ready for the next situation they will have to adapt to.
