Simple Strategies for Stress Relief with The Rest RN, Karen Doiron

Karen Doiron is The Rest RN and her goal is to improve the lives of nurses by teaching them to recognize and decrease their stress levels. She offers simple strategies that can be done at any time of the day. In her coaching, she also helps nurses set boundaries and develop awareness for what our bodies are telling us in relation to stress.

The 3 pillars of The Rest RN are Rest, Reconnect and Restore. Karen says that resting is the state in which we heal and where our creative side lives. She knows that nurses find difficulty in being able to relax and take time to do nothing. Our brains tell us that periods of rest make us feel non-productive because we are used to always being on the go. This is increasing our stress and making it harder to break the cycle.

Connecting with ourselves, which is what Karen helps her clients to do, will teach us to listen to our bodies, set healthy boundaries and start living healthier lives. Thank you to The Rest RN for helping to improve the health of nurses. Let’s keep this conversation going!
