With being in my last semester of nursing school,l am committed to improving my quality of life by ensuring that I manage time with friends and family. I have been able to manage my time each week with nursing school as well as being able to spend time with friends and family. Hanging out with the people who make me smile the most are my friends and family, and I ...

I am committing to a better quality of life through focusing more on my personal relationships. By placing more importance on these relationships I am less likely to experience work drain and burnout, which will positively influence all of my patients and coworkers.

I am committed to improving my quality of life by taking care of myself so I can continue to care for others. This looks like spending time with friends and family, going on hikes and being outdoors more, and going to church.

I will commit to improving my quality of life by spending time outdoors and being in the sun. I want to commit to taking walks outside every day and spending every second with the people I love. I want to commit to reading my devotional everyday and being appreciative of all of God's creations around me. Most importantly, I want to stay hydrated and maintain ...

In my final semester of nursing school, life has been super busy and fast paced. I have been planning a wedding, searching for a job, where me and my soon to be husband will live and all of the logistics that go along with that... All while trying to soak up the last moments of college. I plan on commiting to qulality of life by making sure I prioritize my ...

With finishing out my last semester of nursing school, adjusting to night shifts, looking for jobs, and planning my future, my life has felt pretty chaotic. With these things at the forefront of my mind, I sometimes find myself not fully being in the moment with my loved ones and even spending less time with them because of busyness and stress. I want to ...

As I approach graduation soon, I am committed to making these last few weeks of college memorable and enjoying every moment I have with my closest friends. I want to make every encounter I have with my friends intentional and spend quality time with them because time flies by so quickly! I want to finish college with carrying some of the sweetest moments I ...

I am committing to improving mine and my families quality of life. Life flies by in the blink of an eye and I do not want to look back one day and think “I wish I would have done that”, so I will be making more time for the little things in life.

I'm committing to focus on quality and balance of my life. To do this, I'm going to prioritize my spiritual well-being and participate in a bible reading plan from "First 5" ech day. When I am focused on God, everything else in my life seems to find balance and fall into place.

I met my commitment goal of improving my quality of life by attending a family member's quinceanera, with my family and my boyfriend!

I am committing to maintaining a work and family life balance as my goal for the next few weeks. It is easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of work it is being a student nurse while also working a separate job and I have been noticing that I have not put in as much effort into my family life and have not been engaging in fun activities with my husband and dog. I am ...

I am making a commitment to improve my quality of life by focusing my time towards goals I am passionate about. I work another job as a means to fill my time; it is not meaningful and it takes time from me to recuperate and work on other aspects of my life. That includes people I love and care for, and my career as a nurse. I will leave my second job. I will set smart ...

I have committed to reading my bible every night before bedtime. This increased to connect to God and decreased my uncertainty in my faith.

I commit to prioritizing my physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I will engage in regular exercise, maintain a balanced diet, manage stress through healthy coping strategies and ensure adequate rest to sustain my energy and focus.

I have been a nurse for four years, and started my nursing career at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. I worked the majority of that time in the ICU, and my mental health suffered for the following years from the moral delimmas and burnout I experienced in those first two years. I struggled with PTSD and severe depression. I'm doing much better now, my ...

I love reading & crafting. I am committing to read or craft every day for the next 7 days.

Reading is a self care activity that improves my quality of life. I commit to reading for at least five minutes every day.

When I was growing up, reading was a huge part of my life. My mom used to have to keep me from reading in the mornings because I would choose to read rather than getting ready for school. In the next few weeks, I commit to being intentional about reading at least 1 chapter of my current book a night. Reading is something that I have found to be helpful to unwind and ...

I commit to spending more time doing the things that I love, like creating something new or reading books from my very long to-be-read list. A lot of the time I spend too much time doom scrolling on social media or caught up in, assignments for classes, so I want to be able to spend time doing something that's going to make me happy.

I commit to enhancing my quality of life by spending more time outdoors with my family and my dog no matter how busy life gets. This will allow me to relax, recharge, and appreciate the simple joys of life!

I am committing to implement an exercise routine into my life by performing some type of physical activity! I would want to do at least 30 minutes of activity and do it for 4 days/week in the mornings. By doing this, I hope to establish a routine that I look forward to and have more time of the day to enjoy.

I make a commitment to Myself for ongoing growth and improvement of my overall well-being so that I may be able to be effective nurse practitioner, leader, wife, mother.

Nurses have the most contact with patients and are the most influential to whether the patient has a satisfactory hospitalization. 

I think focusing on your self is extremely important when your job requires you to take care of others. This past month we went strawberry picking. The whole experience was a nice break from reality. It allowed us to be in nature, provide nutrition for ourselves, and just focus on the moment.   

I commit to Quality of life. Nursing school is very stressful so whenever I can, I travel to find peace. I also tend to cook healthy meals and stay physically active rather it’s playing a sport or doing strength training in the gym. This is something I will continue to do, as it has helped me physically and mentally!

Nursing school has been extremely stressful and I often put it over everything including my kids, family, and friends. So starting as soon as graduation, I promise to LIVE with a purpose and to do the things that make me happy. If I am not happy and well, it's a downhill spiral on my kids and they need their mama! So cheers to doing more things like travel, ...

My quality of life improved when I changed my weekly Thank you journal to include daily thank you notes to others. Today's thank you note is to ANA for Healthy Nurse Healthy Nation for the email reminders that remind me to keep all areas of my life balanced.  

After working fulltime through nursing school, I pretty much was deprived from enjoyable aspects of my life due to spending all my time at school, studying, homework, and working at my job. Basically I became burnt out by the time I graduated nursing school. By focusing on my quality of life I am also committing to self care. While I'm not at work my goal is ...

Between full time work and full time school and residency program and babysitting the kids and kickboxing, I am having a hard time getting enough sleep. I believe this is why my health is declining and I now get sick at the drop of a hat, which was never the case prior to this stressfully busy season in my life. I knew I should've allowed myself a week between ...

My husband and I are both nurses and both teach at school. We have 4 kids and the whole week is just pretty busy. Because of this, we decide to be "Weekend warriors". Whether it be an airbnb weekend in a small town 2 hours away, or a visit to the nearest theme park. We just make sure to spend good quality family time together! 

So I always make sure I leave reusable bags in the trunk of my car! That way, I'm always prepared to use them again and again when I go grocery shopping. One tip I want to share is once you unload groceries, make sure you put those bags back to the trunk! :)

I am committed to spending time with my husband and animals! After working long shifts, it can be tempting to getting sucked into just watching shows or taking naps. I want to spend quality time with those I love and do fun things! This last week my husband and I painted pumpkins outside since it finally felt like fall! I am committed to doing at least one fun ...

Nursing school, work, and being away from family can be very stressful and overwhelming for sure! Since starting nursing school I have started reading as well as taking at least one night a week to go out with friends, even if its just a quick milkshake run. Seeing my friends in person at least once a week improves my thinking and helps me to have a better ...

I commit to doing something creative once a week for quality time for myself. Doing something creative for me is relaxing and helps me decompress after a long week. This week I decided to build a lego set and decorate a pumpkin. 

I commit to spending time and catching up with the important people in my life.   

I commit to staying true to who I am and making time for the things that bring me peace and laughter. 

I commit to not working on weekends and prioritizing self-care! 😊

Nurses who learn and practice the evidence based Transcendental Meditation technique show increased compassion satisfaction, decreased emotional exhaustion, less anxiety, and are able to be more present with patients and loved ones. During 20 minutes of TM® the mind settles down and the body gains a state of profound rest.  TM is a game changer for ...

I want to thank all who worked to set this up. Caring for self and others will allow all of us to better care for our staff and patients. 

Often times we struggle to engage in relationships outside of school and work due to being wrapped up in assignments and patient care.Social relationships are an important aspect in our quality of life and must be taken into consideration for our wellbeing.  My commitment is to spend time with my loved ones and designating work and school assignments ...

I commit to Spending more time with family. Since beginning night shift I have been struggling with balancing my time, as most of my time is consumed by sleep. I want to aim to spend more quality time with my family because I truly feel my best when I am with them. 

I used to spend a lot of time with my family and pamper myself, but lately, that has been put on hold due to clinical and school. So, my commitment to myself is that I will make time to go get a pedicure, hang out with my family, shop or even get coffee. 

My commitment to my quality of life is to get out more outside of work and school and go on spontaneous trips with my family to make new memories. My sister is my best friend and I always have so much fun when we pack up and do a stress-free one day vacation! I hope to go on many more with her soon! Here's a picture of me enjoying Starbucks during the car ride of a trip ...

I commit to prioritizing new hobbies, such as reading, this year in order to have ways to spend my alone time in a way that is beneficial to my mental well being, improves my mood and subsequently helps to increase my quality of life. I want to read at least one new book per month for the year. 

I'm a mother of four kids, and yes life gets busy and some days I don't have time for myself. Before I know it, the day is over and it's time to sleep again. So don't feel guilty when your toddler is asleep and instead of cleaning up, you sit on the couch, watch a video in youtube or browse instagram just so you can unwind for 45 minutes. Talk to your spouse about a ...

Carving out personal time from your busy schedule is a must, but so is creating memories with your loved ones! I’ve made it a goal to visit a new place and experience something new annually! It’s the best decision that my family and I have ever made!
