This week for our Friday Favorites, The Morning Thing Co-Hosts shared what they are looking forward to this summer now that the COVID restrictions are being lifted.
Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, we are sharing tips for taking time for yourself. Everyone needs to take some time to make sure that they are doing okay. You are allowed to take time to yourself if you are struggling. It’s also okay to ask for help. We have people around us that want us to succeed, and if not on this earth, we have a God who wants us to thrive in his plan. We may have a different plan for our lives than the person next to us, but that’s okay! That does not make our life any less valuable.

Here are some of the tips we talked about:

Nurses Week wraps up today with a special celebration – International Nurses Day.
Click HERE for more information about this special day.
International Nurses Day has been created so that we can pay honor and tribute to all of the nurses around the world and the incredible work they do. It is crazy to think about a world without nurses. Who would be there to care for us when we’re not feeling well? Nurses bring so much to our lives, and the lives of the people that we love, and so it is only right that we have a day that honors them and recognizes all of their efforts!
We talked with Dr. Carol Dorough, Dean of the School of Nursing at Mount Vernon Nazarene University.

Dr. Dorough shared why nursing is so important to our society. She also shared how the past year has impacted nurses and the nursing profession. She also give encouragement for nurses. Take a listen and share this conversation with the nurses in your life.
The Morning Thing shared some fun and unique ways to celebrate Nurses.
Click HERE for the full list.
Some of our favorite ways to recognize nurses include:
Hand out small gift bags to your nursing staff. Include a card, a small knick-knack, and maybe even a gift card. This is a good way to show a general sense of appreciation to your entire staff.
Each day, choose a nurse (or one from each area of the hospital) to highlight. Tell their story and accomplishments. Not only will this give the highlighted nurse the joy of being recognized publicly, but it could also inspire other staff.
People love free food, and your nurses are no different. If you can find a balance between food people love and healthier options, you will be golden.
Executive staff and higher-ups tend to get the better parking spots, right? Well, what if for this week, those coveted spots are opened up to nurses? It might not seem like much, but it goes a long way!
Decorate appropriate areas with themed flyers and decorations to remind both staff and patients to appreciate their nurses. You might even be able to get the help of patient’s artwork to make it a fun and engaging area.
Stock the break room with fresh fruit and healthy food choices. If you normally have only unhealthy options (or worse: nothing), consider creating a healthy snack option for your nurses and other medical staff.
This one might sound weird at first, but since nurses are constantly on their feet, inserts could make or break their day.
If you are allowed and/or given permission, take a photo of happy patients with their nurses and make a wall of photos. Keep the wall of photos up for a while so nurses, staff, and others can see the happy faces of nurses and patients.
Massages are the perfect way to relieve stress. A quick 20-minute massage during a break or before or after a shift can help improve posture, stress levels, and soreness from walking around all day.
