🩺💚 Wellness Matters: Invest in Yourself, Stay in the Profession You Love 💚🩺
Nurses—your well-being is essential, not optional.
A recent study presented at the APNA 2025 Conference shows that even small investments in nurse wellness—like journaling, nutrition education, and emotional support—can significantly reduce burnout and increase your intent to stay in the profession.
📉 Before wellness sessions:
32% of nurses considered quitting their job
45% thought about leaving nursing altogether
📈 After wellness sessions:
Both numbers dropped to just 28%!

As an RN pursuing your BSN at UWM, you’re already investing in your future. Now, let’s make wellness part of that journey.
🧘‍♀️ Wellness = Better teamwork, stronger relationships, and a healthier YOU.
💡 Retaining just one nurse can offset the cost of wellness programs—imagine the impact if we all prioritized self-care.
