You play a vital role in healthcare, but it’s essential to prioritize your health, too! Staying healthy while on your fall travel assignment ensures you can continue providing top-notch care to your patients, AND enjoy everything your assignment has to offer this fall!
Essential Fall Travel Assignment Tips:
- Get Vaccinated: Protect yourself with an annual flu vaccine to reduce your risk of illness and prevent spreading the virus to vulnerable patients.
- Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer. Carry travel-sized sanitizers and disinfecting wipes while traveling.
- Proper PPE Use: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and be ready for varying requirements at different facilities.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your immune system strong. Dehydration weakens your defenses.
- Rest and Sleep: Maintain a consistent sleep schedule and prioritize quality rest to support your immune system.
- Balanced Diet: Eat a well-balanced diet. Seek out local grocery stores and healthy food options while traveling.
- Exercise Regularly: Incorporate physical activity into your routine to boost immunity and reduce stress.
- Stay Informed: Keep up with the latest guidelines from your healthcare facility and local health authorities. Familiarize yourself with healthcare resources at your location and telehealth options.
- Sick Day Protocol: Know your facility’s protocol for sick days so you’re well-prepared if you fall ill.
- Symptom Awareness: Be vigilant about flu and respiratory illness symptoms. Early recognition helps you seek care promptly and protect your patients.
Safe travels, and stay well on your fall travel assignment!
