Stressed out? Don’t know what to do?
First of all, Stop… Step back and take a break. When I mean by break, I don’t mean check your facebook or tumblr.
Go for a walk or run, listen to music, go to the kitchen and make a snack. Get away from your work.
Do some deep breathing exercises or meditate, it’s one of the best ways of release stress.
Once you have calmed down, go back and refocus. Try working in a different way and get back to the groove.
If you want to listening to music, I recommend this: http://www.youtube.com/user/StudyMusicProject/videos
I’ve used their songs to while I studied for finals and wrote papers. They really do help.
Good Luck!

The initiative seems to have originated at Evelina Children’s Hospital at St. Thomas’ Hospital, London, where the window washers reportedly have a clause in their contract that requires them dress up to entertain the kids while working. And it’s caught on, with window cleaners in Memphis and Pittsburgh inspired to slip into costume when working.
What a bad-ass idea.
What a great thing to do.
IdleDancer: Nursing: 10 OF THE SCARIEST THINGS SEEN IN A HOSPITAL
...even if some are common occurrences, they are frightening enough in the moment to cause the nurse’s heart to race.
1. Blood exploding out from arterial line site, when you peek in after holding pressure for some time.
