A recent national survey of nurse wellbeing indicated that Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2015) nurses were most likely (57.3%) to report that COVID-19 adversely impacted their overall wellbeing. The group was also the least likely (only 23.5%) to report effectively managing work related stress and anxiety. 

As a general population, Generation Z was found to have significantly higher levels of stress, anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, June 2020). When this demographic trend is coupled with new nurses who found themselves caring for acutely ill COVID patients, it makes sense that these nurses struggle more than their older counterparts.
 
Of concern to many nurse leaders like Larissa Africa, President of Versant, “We are seeing new graduate nurses indicating an intent to leave, not only their organization, but the profession”. She acknowledges that this is a trend that researchers have not seen before. (Nurse Leader, February 2021)
 
There is a consensus among nurse leaders that they must initiate the conversation of wellbeing with their Gen X nurses because they are unlikely to approach leadership with wellbeing issues. The Wellnurse Selfcare and Resiliency Training program is a great tool for nurse leaders to start the conversation, especially with the younger generation.

The Wellnurse to Offer Free Program to Front-Line Nurses and Healthcare Workers

Denver, CO June 10th, 2020 –  An unfortunate outcome of the Covid19 crisis is limited access to self-care programs and activities for healthcare workers who desperately need them. The Wellnurse™ program creator, Lyndsey Medina, explains, “Current health restrictions have left many nurses isolated and unable to tap into wellness resources. We felt we had an obligation to step in and help out, so we decided to offer an early release of our online program for free to anyone who needs some help.”

 

The program will be offered at no charge to anyone who requests it. They can sign up at Thewellnurse.com, under the Covid19 Support tab. When asked if there is an end date to the free offering, Medina said “We’ve decided to offer the program at no charge through the end of July, 2020.”

 

The Wellnurse™ is an online resiliency training program that was created for nurses to teach skills and techniques to achieve resiliency and fulfillment. The program focuses on sustainable practices that are easy to digest and implement. There are even meditations that have been created specifically for nurses. Visit Thewellnurse.com for more information.
