A Gentle Reminder to Make Time for Yourself
RN, MS, RN Administrator, Calvary Hospital – Brooklyn Campus
In this article, we’ll look at the basics of self-care and the building blocks of mindfulness, which anyone working within a palliative care system, whether at Calvary or another end-of-life care setting, should take to heart.
Those who work in the palliative care environment are exposed regularly to deep, existential issues, challenging psychological situations and heightened emotional distress.
“As a nurse for more than 30 years, I have discovered first-hand the value of self-care,” Patricia M. Caffrey, RN, MS, RN Administrator, Calvary Hospital – Brooklyn Campus. “Your priority as a palliative care professional is to care for yourself regularly. That will maximize your ability to help your patients.”
