By Paige Roberts, MBA, RN, PCCN, which was published in American Nurse Today</a>. “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.”</div>
