We recently applied for the AANA, the American association of nurse anesthetist. I am now officially a member. I wonder when my card will be arriving.
Anyhow, i took this online survey thing that they had about stress and your overall health. Well, at first i taught it was annoying and too long. But i decided to finish it. And well, not surprisingly, I'm very stressed out. REALLY, tell me something i didn't know.
The survey asked about overall health, drug and alcohol use, exercise patterns and so on. Cool questions that i didn't think about. Anyways, at the end of the survey they give me some helpful advice. Some i already practiced and a couple i just learned so i taught i would just share with you some of their tips on coping with stress.
Thank you for your participation. The AANA is here to serve and help protect our members.
