34 Instant Stress-Busters: Quick tips to de-stress fast with no extra time or money” by WV author and Charleston resident, Aila Accad, RN, MSN, has been selected as one of the Top 50 Must-Read Books for Nurses 2012. The annual listing is conducted by LVNtoRN.net, an online resource for licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) going back to school to become registered nurses (RNs).
Accad taught stress management for 25 years before she had a stress crisis that changed her thinking about really works when stress overwhelms a person. She wrote her book so the person who is stressed just has to open to a page and do the tip for instant relief. Accad says, “People, including nurses, tend to grab something that relieves stress fast like eating fast food, smoking and self-medicating with alcohol and over the counter medications. Unfortunately, most of those things deteriorate overall health. They need new strategies that also work instantly.”
This book is a quick reference for 34 ways to relieve stress quickly with no extra time or money. Accad reports that while yoga and meditation are excellent ways to relieve stress, they require time and practice to be effective. She says, “Nurses also need tips that they can use in the moment while working at a high stress, fast paced job. This book serves that need. I am delighted that LVNtoRN.net selected it!”
