Wellness Monday

Have you missed the PAWS puppies?

As a part of Wellness Monday, over 100 SHC nurses and colleagues stopped by to enjoy quality time with the PAWS dogs, showing how much SHC nurses truly missed cuddling our PAWS friends. Several nurses who attended this event expressed that they felt rejuvenated afterwards and ready to take on the day!

Art Therapy

Thank you for Painting with Us!

Thank you SHC RN Nicole Cromwell for sharing your passion and talents with us by leading an amazing art therapy session. Multiple nurses raved about how much they enjoyed this calming and therapeutic event. Even CNE Dale Beatty, DNP, RN, NEA-BC expressed, "I thoroughly enjoyed this event and SHC Nursing can not wait to host another art therapy event. Providing wellness opportunities such as this art therapy session is so important, especially after the challenges of this ongoing pandemic. I encourage all nurses and interprofessional colleagues to find ways to relax, promote wellness, and participate in self care activities. There will be many more wellness activities and celebrations throughout Stanford Nurses Week 2021 for everyone to enjoy."
