Comments on: Zen and the art of male nurse maintenance http://scrubsmag.com/zen-and-the-art-of-male-nurse-maintenance/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:03:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Nicole http://scrubsmag.com/zen-and-the-art-of-male-nurse-maintenance/#comment-216 Nicole Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:16:38 +0000 http://scrubsmag.com/?p=2784#comment-216 This article is good advice for those people that "do too much." And it gives a great example of something nontraditional that became his escape. This example may help others think outside of the box when trying to come up with what relaxes them during their hectic day. I will say, though, that some people, myself included, when exposed to and working with children all day, enjoy some adult conversation at the end of the workday. My release is to walk the dog while talking on the phone to an adult. I would be careful claiming that all communication is a bad thing and stressor in people's lives, because in my case, it serves as somewhat a release. But the overall idea of taking time for yourself could not be more important.
