Healthy Nurse
| ANA defines a healthy nurse as one
who actively focuses on creating and maintaining a balance and synergy
of physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, personal and
professional wellbeing. A healthy nurse lives life to the fullest
capacity, across the wellness/illness continuum, as they become stronger
role models, advocates, and educators, personally, for their families,
their communities and work environments, and ultimately for their
patients.
Nurses at 3.1 million strong and the most trusted
profession, have the power to make a difference! By choosing nutritious
foods and an active lifestyle, managing stress, living tobacco-free,
getting preventive immunizations and screenings, and choosing protective
measures such as wearing sunscreen and bicycle helmets, nurses can set
an example on how to BE healthy.
Accessible to all registered nurses and RN students, ANA is providing a comprehensive health risk appraisal (HRA) in collaboration with Pfizer Inc, free of charge. This HIPAA-compliant HRA gives nurses real-time data on their health, safety, and wellness, personally and professionally. Nurses can compare their results to national averages and ideal standards. Eventually, nurses will be able to compare their results to those of other nurses in specific groupings such as age or nursing specialty, when statistically relevant numbers are reached. Upon completion of the HRA, nurses are directed to a web wellness portal, filled with interactive quizzes, games, and pertinent resources. The HRA builds nursing data, inclusive of all ages and both sexes. Visit www.anahra.org now to take the HRA! |
