Thursday is Western Day with the dietary unit. Southern barbeque to eat and horseshoes to play. Friday is the finale sponsored by Housekeeping and Laundry. The team with the fastest time earns the right to display a coveted trophy until the next Derby rolls around pun intended! Our residents LOVE to see their caregivers careening down the hallways in wheelchairs! It is a lot of fun.
We provide residents and visitors with noisemakers and signs with which to cheer. Everyone looks forward to this all year long, and many start practicing months ahead of time. Week but this is an excellent way to raise money for activities. Once the names are counted for each unit we have a total. You all should be proud of the work you do as nurses.
Why not let the world know? Elise Bialylew , founder of Mindful in May, found that practicing mindfulness meditation for 10 minutes a day for one month created more positive emotions, reduced stress, increased self-compassion, and strengthened focus. So find a spare room to encourage the staff to disconnect for their own personal health. Add cozy chairs, soothing lights, and a sound machine to drown out noise from the hall.
As the world starts to open up again, try thinking of some COVID-friendly gatherings you can do with your coworkers. It could be as simple as meeting up in someone's backyard for a cookout, or as big a "to-do" as reserving the patio at your team's favorite restaurant. Gather up as many of your peers as you can and meet up for dinner and a night of fun. This can also be done in groups so each nurse at your hospital or care facility has a chance to get in on the celebration.
Come up with an award for each member of your nursing staff. Studies have found that therapy dogs can help reduce stress. Find out if your hospital has therapy dogs on staff or is connected to any therapy dog organizations, and see if they can make a surprise round or two on your floor.
Liven up your workspace or floor with bright and cheerful decorations. Print out pictures of each nurse on your team and display them on a hospital bulletin board. As you know, learning never stops in your profession.
Don't forget to treat yourself a little bit, too! Here are 8 Nurses Week celebration ideas for some much-needed self-care. When you actually have time to kick back and relax… do just that. Go ahead and binge-watch Netflix in bed, shop at your favorite stores, or head to the beach.

So, instead of hanging out in the breakroom, step outside for a short walk or sit on a bench and zone out with a book or podcast. Being on your feet all day long is exhausting. Staff, volunteers, and residents can bob for apples, get their faces painted and indulge in some delicious popcorn, cotton candy and snow cones.
