[MaineSchoolNurse] Follow Up to Office Hours 11/6/2024

[Poland, Emily]

Good afternoon!

It was great to see/hear 29 nurses today at office hours!

We started office hours today by sharing the concepts from an article, Three Good Things: Build resilience and improve well-being<https://www.myamericannurse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ant12-3-good-things-1207.pdf> By Paige Roberts, MBA, RN, PCCN, which was published in American Nurse Today<https://www.myamericannurse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ant12-3-good-things-1207.pdf>.  “As nursing leaders, we must recognize the importance of building staff resilience and improving their well-being. Three Good Things is a validated tool that holds the potential to enhance staff members’ lives and enable them to positively adjust to the adversities they face in the healthcare profession. Start using Three Good Things tonight and experience the benefits yourself. You might even find that it’s addictive—and contagious.”
