6 Tips To Manage Anger at Work as a Nurse
You walk into work and hit the floor running. It's one big emergency after another. You can't catch a break and it feels like nothing is going right. You're PISSED! But who are you mad at? And what for? And did you take it out on anyone? You may not realize it, but you just may be displacing anger towards others and things that aren't the cause of your frustrations. As professionals who work in high acuity situations and with different personalities, it's key that we learn to identify when we're upset or angry, why, and how to deal with it in a healthy way, so our patients, the care we provide, and our own mental & physical health aren't negatively impacted. In this episode, Nurse Alice shares six tips on how to identify when you're feeling frustration or anger, how to identify the cause, and how to manage (prevent) displaced anger.
