Wishing Travel Nurses a Happy Valentine's Day and National Heart Month!

valentines day for nurses

This February is an invigorating month for registered nurses working in all 50 U.S. States. The groundhog popped out and saw his shadow, forecasting a longer winter—all the better reason to consider travel nursing jobs in warm states like Arizona, California, or Hawaii.

As we celebrate another National Heart Month this February, healthcare facilities nationwide are rolling out the red carpet for registered nurse staff who, ideally, lead active healthy lifestyles that live up the American Heart Association’s (AHA) guidelines for staying heart healthy!

Recommendations from the AHA:

  • Don’t smoke! Even second hand smoke exposure compromises good health. If you need a smoke break, take a walk instead.
  • Keep fit! Reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke by maintaining a healthy BMI and exercising between 30 to 60 minutes a day. If you’re too busy, break down workouts into daily 10 minute sessions; the travel nurse lifestyle makes this super easy by offering luxury private housing with amenities like fully-loaded gyms, not to mention group health insurance!
  • Observe the "5 a Day" Rule: This is a government recommendation advising everyone to eat at least five servings a day of fruits and vegetables.
  • Get a Physical! As registered nurses well know, a trip to the doctor’s office means blood work, cholesterol, glucose, thyroid function and blood count tests. The Mayo Clinic, a top ranking hospital in the U.S. News & World Report annual honor roll, recommends a cholesterol screening once every 5 years.
