Nurses work in demanding environments that require constant presence, compassion, and emotional strength. This presentation explores practical, evidence-based holistic self-care strategies to manage stress and build resilience, with a focus on brief, accessible practices for use in the workplace and beyond. The session frames self-care as a realistic and essential practice, offering a flexible toolkit that nurses can draw on throughout their day, whether in a quiet moment of mindfulness, time in nature, or when stress calls for immediate support, to restore balance and sustain their capacity to care for others.
