What are Common Work-Life Balance Policies in Nursing?
Several policies have been implemented to help nurses achieve a better work-life balance:
Flexible Scheduling: Allows nurses to choose shifts that fit their personal life, such as part-time or per diem work. Telehealth Opportunities: Enables nurses to work from home, reducing commute time and offering a more flexible work environment. Job Sharing: Two nurses share the responsibilities of one full-time position, allowing both to have more time off. Paid Time Off (PTO): Provides nurses with paid leave for vacations, personal days, and mental health breaks. Childcare Services: On-site or subsidized childcare options help nurses manage family responsibilities while working.
