This week from 2-8 October we celebrate Perioperative Nurses Week 2022! The past few years have been challenging and unpredictable for our perioperative nursing community. So this year, the Australian College of Perioperative Nurses (ACORN) is focusing on practical, realistic self-care for the perioperative nurse – N.U.R.S.E Selfcare:
- N – Nourish
- U – Unplug
- R – Rest
- S – Soothe
- E – Educate
Our perioperative nurses ‘Step up’ every day to be there for their colleagues, patients, and the wider healthcare community. This year ACORN is encouraging perioperative nurses ‘stepping up’ towards NURSE self-care.
