About

Welcome to Shifts & Scrubs, a blog dedicated to each and every member of a big family called “Nursing”.

Nurses are one of a kind. A Nurse can still be happy with a single penny in her pocket and stain on scrubs because her efforts revived someone. But sometimes this happiness can be tarnished by many factors like, the physical discomfort after a hectic work shift, emotional turmoil after losing a client, stressful work environment, etc.

The personal experiences of the author as a Nurse, and her passion to write her heart out flickered the idea of starting Shifts & Scrubs with a mission to address the issues related to nurse’s daily life and provide information that can help all nursing professionals to promote their health, improve their working style and indulge in care with compassion. This blog will also share content that can help nursing students to excel in the academic front.

For new visitors it is advised to go through the category page to get familiar with the blog.

Thank you for visiting Shifts & Scrubs.
