How Can Nurses Incorporate Napping into Their Schedule?
Integrating naps into a busy nursing schedule can be challenging but possible with proper planning:
- Scheduled Breaks: Utilize scheduled breaks for short naps. Even a 15-minute nap can be rejuvenating. - Nap-Friendly Environment: Create a quiet, dark, and comfortable space conducive to napping. Eye masks and earplugs can be helpful. - Education and Advocacy: Educate nurses and management about the benefits of napping. Advocate for designated nap areas and policies that support napping.
