As a student currently going through night shift clinical rotations, I have really struggled on resting and doing something I enjoy. With three weeks left of rotations, I want to make sure I am sleeping at least 7 hours and reading a chapter of my most recent book before attending my night shift rotations.

Unfortunately due to the large amount of reading we do as nursing students, I have lost interest in books that even require less brainpower than a text book. For the next month, I commit to taking time and immersing myself back into books of my choosing to give my brain a rest from school work and get back into hobbies I enjoy.

I commit to rest and recuperate. Nursing school can be very demanding and stressful especially with night clinical. I vow to take one day a week to rest and reset for the coming week. I can watch a movie do some self care and prep meals for the busy week to come.

I commit to reading books I enjoy other than only reading nursing textbooks. Often in nursing school I have forgotten to read books I enjoy rather than only reading for school. So I commit to reading one book I enjoy a month at least to give my brain a break.

I commit to resting my mind outside of nursing. I am used to reading textbooks frequently for studying but have forgotten about reading for fun.

Providing yourself with a mental break is just as important ...

I commit to taking more time to read and relax before bedtime. Nursing school, my job and my social life have kept me very busy for the last few years, leading me to neglect adequate rest periods. Committing myself to reading more and developing a rest routine before bed will be overall beneficial for my life.

Like many here, nursing school takes a toll on the amount of rest I get. I am very fortunate to be on a strict 9 hour sleeping schedule, but of course resting is more than just sleeping! Outside of sleeping, I really enjoy reading and cuddling with my dog. At the start of this semester, I set a goal to read at least one book every week. Fortunately for me, my ...

I commit to trying my best to get at least 6 hours of sleep. With the overstimulation of my phone, TV, and computer I usually try to unwind for bed by reading a book. I am reading through the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, it's enjoyably dense and usually does the trick to calm my brain.

I know sleep is the foundation of all physical and mental health. I would even say it is a platform for spiritual health as well, if we count prayer and dreaming as sleep activities.  And I know  people should get 8 hrs or so of sleep ( which i usually do).  However, some of my activities prior to bed time are not allowing me to sleep through the night, ie sipping ...

I  am committed to rest. I prioritize every aspect of my life over resting so I am committed to getting in bed no later than 10:00pm and taking a glass of water to bed to encourage me to drink more water.

I am choosing to commit to taking intentional time to rest every day. This time will be purposeful and will allow a daily reset. It could be taking a nap, listening to music, or just sitting in silence!

Added by brookeb224 Blog Commitment to Rest 03/26/2023

I am committed to letting myself enjoy down time. While being in nursing school the feeling of not being “productive” can feel like I’m being lazy, when in reality I am allowed to have down time and enjoy it.

Added by Bianca Ramirez Blog Commitment to Rest 03/26/2023

My commitment is to sleep 8 hours every day. Too many days where I have gone into clinicals or class with 5 or less hours of sleep. I will do this by doing my homework and hanging out with friends and having everything done by 10 PM.

Added by audreymos Blog Commitment to Rest 03/24/2023

Will try to target 8 hours of sleep and sleep early. When you have kids and when they're sleep earlier than you do, you kinda want that peace and time for yourself. But I will try to sleep the same time they sleep because when I get more sleep, I have more energy and my day becomes more productive.

Health and wellness cannot be fully realized until we embrace the idea of sleep

After ten years of living on the edge in the fast lane every day, I will commit to feeling ok with a calm mind. My body has reached exhaustion, and I have managed to push past it; with three babies and nursing school, perseverance is all I know. It is now time not to feel guilty when I sit and relax but rather embrace the chaos little children bring and learn all is ...
