Session Summary

Working in critical and progressive care can be profoundly rewarding, but like all professionals, nurses have bad days, those shifts where you feel alone, overwhelmed or that nothing is going right. Recognizing and coping with bad days ensures we can provide the support and care our patients and families need. In addition, effective coping with bad days allows us to work through our feelings, manage our emotions and continue to provide optimal care for our patients. The purpose of this session is to provide nurses in critical and progressive care settings with tools they can apply to recognize and survive on the bad days. A panel of nurses in direct patient care roles present and discuss their ideas in a conversation moderated by an AACN Clinical Practice Specialist.

Objectives

  • Differentiate a bad day as an acute problem, distinct from compassion fatigue, burn out and moral distress.
  • Discuss creative strategies for coping with a bad day.
  • Apply one or more strategies that promotes effective coping when a bad day occurs.
