Dont throw the baby out with the bathwater

Be nice. Ne healthy. Be happy.

Sick people can’t help sick people.

Eat right. Demonstrate the lifestyle that you counsel people to have. Take small steps in your personal life to have a healthy diet. Take a walk on your lunch. Bring in a healthy snack for your coworkers. Start a walking group.

Speak positive things. When you come into work speak only positivity. Dont complain about the rain, or the heat, or the fact that it is Monday. Nip negativity in the bud as soon as you arrive.

Smile doggone it! So let me get this straight. You are unhappy but you want to help someone out with their health. No. You need to address issues daily. Pray daily to Jesus and find peace within yourself to give a REAL smile as you work.

Greet the patient when you see them. Some nurses just bring people back without even saying hello. They expect the patient to just “step on the scale”. Well in order to be a pro , greet the patient and introduce yourself for goodness sake! Make them feel at ease and more comfortable.
