You’ve just had a day off and return to work, but regret not making the most of your free time? If you take the time, ahead of your day off, to plan an adventure or create your “to do” list, you will begin to look forward to that time away from your daily work routine.

Many times when it’s your day off, everyone else may be working a “regular” schedule. Try planning ahead of time whether it’s an adventure, relaxing, or checking off tasks that have been nagging you.

To follow are some ideas to get you motivated and you will even come up with some of your own once you start making the most of your time off:

Exercise

You most likely tell your patients, when appropriate, to incorporate exercise into their daily routine, or at least a few times during the week. Don’t think of it as a chore, but more of a benefit that will help clear your head, improve your health, and give you time to think about all of the other exciting things you want to do. It can be one of the greatest gifts you give to yourself. It really doesn’t take that long and the advantages last a lifetime!

Meditate to Reset

The best nurses are used to putting other people’s needs over their own. This can be stressful as you absorb all that the job puts on you. When you meditate, you’re putting yourself first so that you can better take care of others. There are many apps out there that help guide you through the process and keep you on track.

Practice on your day off, but then incorporate into your daily schedule and you’ll soon see the benefits of taking this positive step to reset and refocus.

Lunch With a Friend

Do you have lunch with your work-friends and wish you had more time to chat and enjoy each other’s company? When you set a lunch date on your day off, the pressure is removed and you can spend the overdue time catching up and getting to know each other again. Then, you can go about your day as the time is all yours.

Take Care of Those Errands

The majority of us need to take care of our errands on the weekend. Not only is this inconvenient, but many times it must be done on a limited basis because not all businesses are open all weekend. Take advantage of the non-peak times to do grocery shopping and browse your favorite department stores. You are able to have less stress and take care of things at your own pace while avoiding the crowds.

Go On a New Journey

Do you live in a location that has a cool spot or attraction that you have always wanted to visit? Make a list of places you want to see and then check off over the course of time. You’ll love making fresh memories and even meeting new people. It can be as simple as bringing your favorite book to a restaurant you’ve always wanted to try, or, jumping on a train and taking a day trip. You’ll be surprised at how much of a mood booster these exciting adventures will be.

It’s Spa Day

You’ve earned it. Many nurses are so used to putting themselves second that they often feel guilty treating themselves to such a treat. There are many specials out there to take advantage of and nothing is more relaxing, both physically and mentally, then getting off your feet and being pampered. Once you try it, you will want to keep this as part of your regular routine, even if it’s just once a month. Have a friend join you if you’d like to catch up on some good ole’ girl chat.

De-stress By Getting Organized

It may sound like an oxymoron, but getting your home in order can really help you focus moving forward. Cleaning out your closet can be therapeutic and giving items you don’t need to a charity such as Goodwill, can truly be rewarding. Try planning your meals ahead of time or even organizing your food pantry so that you also toss items that are expired. This not only gives you a sense of having completed an important task but believe it or not, you will feel calm knowing things are organized.

Become a Travel Nurse

Seeking some adventure but cannot afford to travel to new places? Consider becoming a travel nurse to explore new places, while receiving competitive pay, reimbursement of travel expenses and the flexibility you may be craving.

The Big Attraction to Travel Nursing

There are many perks and benefits, and the trend is growing. Have you ever wanted to check out new places and experience other cultures? And, how about making new friends outside of your immediate area?

One of the most significant advantages is the fact that in addition to having a mini-vacation, you will also receive:

  • Competitive Pay
  • Great Benefits
  • Free Housing

How to Choose the Right Opportunity

Travel opportunities are available in all 50 states and generally last 13 weeks or more and are all based on the needs of the facility. When choosing, please keep the following in mind as one or more could be great incentives:

  • An opportunity that interests you
  • Work near friends or family
  • Testing the waters before a permanent move
  • Extracurricular activities in that area
  • Compensation and housing benefits
  • Weather

Many nurses appreciate a travel nurse opportunity as they can be flexible with their work schedule while gaining exposure to new places. Plus, their accommodations are generally included as well as reimbursement of travel expenses. The higher level of pay is definitely another incentive.

Vacation Without Denting Your Budget

Is there is a location you have always wanted to visit? You can do so without the cost of housing and other expenses. Your only overhead would be for any activities you do while exploring these new and exciting locations, although higher pay will help with the fun!

Oh the Places You Can Go

Choose places that interest you, and if you’re not sure, do your research. You may have never thought of going to Michigan, but… did you know there’s a tremendous amount of beauty and history there? Are you in a warm environment and have always wanted to make snow angels? Or in a typically cold place and want to frolic on the beach? The sky is the limit if you take the time to plan.

You can check items off of your bucket list while seeing new places and making friends from other parts of the country. Another perk is that you have complete control over where and when you would like to work.

Be flexible as not every assignment is in what some would consider prime locations. Be open to new places, and you will be pleasantly surprised at the adventure you will have no matter where you are.

Fresh Perspective

Tired of the same ole’ job where nothing ever changes? Becoming a travel nurse helps you continue to be excited to go to “work,” especially when that means you could be in multiple locations in a year.

Plus, you avoid all of the trappings of a typical staff nurse so that you can focus on what you love, and that’s patient care.

No need to join a hospital committee – unless you want to

Skip the office politics – unless you enjoy chats at the water cooler

The Power of Green

Travel nurse’s pay is generally higher, and the majority of your salary is tax-free (check with your accountant for guidelines) because you’re traveling more than 50 miles from home. Your benefits and bonus are also more, which is always a sweet enticement to jump on the Travel Nurse train.

Travel nursing provides adventure, reliably competitive income, and the flexibility to be the nurse you want to be in the places that speak to you.

Join the Growing Trend

GenCare Resources has many travel nurse positions with new opportunities coming in each day.

Ready for an adventure, higher pay, and flexibility to be the nurse you want to be?
