  2. It’s Halloween time...has anyone had an experience at work that gave you goosebumps? I had an experience a couple of days with a resident that, to this day, gives me goosebumps when I think about it—just a bit of background. I am half Asian and half Northwestern European. I identify as Asian because I grew up In an Asian household and community. Filipinos are superstitious believers in signs and spirits. This past Friday, I worked the 6p-6a shifts at a facility here in Arizona. Most residents under my care have some cognitive impairment and varying severity. I use a penlight when I do rounds, especially if they are asleep because I want to ensure they are not in any acute distress. I entered the room of an elderly female resident, went near the bed, and saw that she was asleep. I was approaching the bedroom door to exit when I heard, Lulu? She startled me because I did not expect her to begin talking suddenly. I turned around and said yes and apologized if I had woken her. She said I did not wake her. She just crawled into bed because her visitor had just left. She went on to say what a wonderful time she had. This person brought her comfort, and her presence alone was more than she could ever ask for. She stares at me like she’s looking into my soul and says, she looks just like you around the eyes. Thank you very much, Lulu, for sharing her with me. Without even thinking, I asked who and instantly regretted it. Your daughter, she says. I reply with, what daughter? Maria, Silly. I excused myself and informed her I would be finishing my rounds. I said good night, and she said, you’re a proud mama that loves her daughter. I immediately went into the utility room, and as I broke down, I got on the phone and asked my husband to check on our daughter Maria. Do not ask her if she is okay; I want you to look at her and ensure she is okay. I am not a superstitious fanatic, but I do believe in certain things. This is an experience I will never forget.
  3. I have a sickly child and spent most of this year in and out of the hospital. I am so grateful for Nursa; It's everything I need right now to make a living without having to commit to a facility and a schedule. Yes, the app has its issues, but so what. Nursa was a life changer for me. I never dread reaching out to Nursa support via chat or phone call because everyone I have come into contact with has been friendly and professional. @Angelica Reed @Ashley C @Keaton Reading @Saxon Jones @Joseph Jacobs @Laura Ellis @Karston Modlinski @Heloiza Naemy Sadoyama Camargo @jodi palmer @Leonardo Sobreira @Krishna Floisand I have had some sort of interaction with everyone here at least once and I have had numerous interactions with a few. Every single contact I initiated was because I had a question, maybe I was having an issue with the app, maybe it was my check. I have never ever reached out to Nursa support just to say hello, how are you? I hope you are having a good day. I think you are a special group of people that even when faced with an angry frustrated crowd, you manage to smile. I appreciate all of you guys so much. To anyone I might have missed, I appreciate you so much too.
  4. These will definitely help with getting more shifts in the app and keeping you sharp! Who's down?
  5. Weekdays or Weekends? Adults only or kids welcome? Small or big event? Have a passion for yoga or golfing? Let's go 🙂
  6. Working as a nurse can be really difficult, let alone as a hospital nurse... so why do you stay? I'll go first: the flexibility with having a family. Nursa has given that to me!
  7. How do I join Nursa champs ????
  8. Heeeyy 👋 it's great seeing people joining the group! Let's reintroduce our selves, and get to know our local Nursa teammates! Maybe we've seen each other in passing or even got the opportunity to work together! 💗

  14. There are lots of options with apps and other services designed to making addressing mental health issues easier. We will continue in finding increasingly better ways to support our nurses across the country (read more here). Hang in there, friends. Share your resources below! Headspace App - Headspace is an on-the-go app that is proven to reduce stress by 14% in just 10 days. Through science-backed meditation and mindfulness tools, Headspace helps to create life-changing habits to support mental health so nurses can better manage their day-to-day stress. Therapy Aid - The Therapy Aid Coalition is a volunteer-based collective of experienced, licensed private-practice therapists committed to providing free or low-cost online therapy to essential workers across the United States. Using the “Find a Therapist” portal, nurses can sort through different therapists based on location, budget and timeline. All therapists who have volunteered to be part of this network are offering four 45-minute sessions ranging from $0 to a maximum of $50 per session. Cerebral - Cerebral is a digital “go-to” resource as it’s a fully remote telehealth company that understands the need for flexibility with healthcare workers. The company provides behavioral health coaching, talk therapy, medication management, and personalized resource content, all digitized for your convenience. The Battle Within - For those looking for a more transformative experience, the Battle Within Service is a unique mental health resource founded by over 100 veterans, first responders, and community leaders who have firsthand experience with trauma and high-stress experiences. Together, they created a transformative (and free) 5-day program built by warriors using holistic techniques steeped in ancient warrior culture and backed by modern mental health practices. They also provide private therapists who are available to work with individuals in crisis, or those who are experiencing grief, anxiety, stress, or trauma. PeerRxMed Program - The PeerRXMed program is impactful in helping connect nurses with peers ready to stand with them in their shared experience. PeerRxMed is a free peer-to-peer program for nurses that pairs them with a “buddy”, and it is built around a program that has consistent check-ins for accountability and human connection. COVID Mental Health Support Group - Location is sometimes a pain point for those looking for immediate mental health relief, but the Covid Mental Health Support Group is all about helping individuals find groups and resources local to them. CBT Thought Record Diary - Journaling has proven to be a great strategy for working through mental health obstacles and that is why the free CBT Thought Record Diary is a great option for nurses who want a personalized and intimate approach to their mental health solutions. Talkspace Online Therapy - For those who are experiencing social anxiety or who do not want to talk in person with a mental health professional, the Talkspace Online Therapy service is a great option for those who want to connect to resources via text. Through this texting program, nurses can connect with trained therapists as often as they need and receive daily responses as well as mental health resources. Prices range from $65- $99/week. Breathe2Relax - Created by the National Center for Telehealth and Technology, the Breathe2Relax app is an app that taps into the power of breathing and meditation. After learning techniques of stress management through diaphragmatic breathing, nurses will learn how to lower the “fight or flight” response, which is something they face daily while managing high-stress life or death situations. Crisis Text Line - Last but not least, we wanted to share one of the biggest national resources for mental health: the National Crisis Text Line. This text line is available 24/7, so nurses can simply text HOME to 741741 and reach a Crisis Counselor immediately through text message at any time of the day or night. DISCLAIMER: The content provided in this article is general and lists resources available but does not constitute medical advice. Always consult with a qualified health care provider for any questions you may have regarding thoughts of suicide or other mental health concerns. If you believe you or someone you know is at imminent risk of harming him or herself and is refusing help, call 911.

  15. We know you are out there doing amazing things and we want to hear about it and help you show it off! Throw your side hustle in the comments below we'll feature you in the Nursa Blog just like we did for Faith Harvey and her awesome custom badge business. 👏
  16. Good morning everyone, Do you have a love for animals like I do? Do you want to help make an impact and help save lives? You can help! Foster parents in the animal rescue world are incredibly important and make an incredible difference in these animals' lives until they find their fur-ever home. If this is something that has interested you, I encourage you to reach out to your local animal shelter and rescue organizations to start the process! For my local Utah peeps, check out the article by The Utah Humane Society - Foster a Pet. For the peeps outside of Utah, check this article out to learn more about what it takes to foster a pet! - Things to Know Before Fostering a Dog or Cat If anyone has any questions on how to get involved, please let me know! I am happy to help you get started in being involved. I am on my 19th dog foster, and I cannot tell you enough how rewarding it is.
