Intent to Contribute Statement:
Nurses within MCH department are taking turns in sharing caring inspiration for staff to encourage self-care and
to strengthen relationships.
This year the nurses have divided the months of the year by 3 and they are taking turns showing how they care
by treating each other to 'special things'. We started off the year with Evening shift who wrote notes to
everyone in the department saying something special about them, and posted them on our 'caritas' board. They
also provided tea service to the night shift during report and provided candles, therapy rocks and a nice poem for
everyone to read. The poster will reflect these events.
