Quick and Easy Health-Promoting, Mood-Boosting Wellness Activities for Nursing Students.

The nursing profession not only is fulfilling but can also be stressful and exhausting. Rewarding students for making time for wellness activities meets the personal health and well-being competencies found in Domain 10.1 of the new Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education. In this article, I provide instructions and rationale for nurse educators to include quick and easy, health-promoting, mood-boosting wellness activities in their classes for all nursing degree levels. My goal is to motivate nurse educators to teach nursing students the importance of self-care to foster well-being so that they may flourish emotionally and physically.
