Nurses are loyal to their patients and coworkers. They often put the needs of others before their own and sometimes even before the needs of their families. This concern for others can cause conflicts that manifest as stress. Of the more than 2 million nurses in the United States, more than 62% work in hospitals. Hospitals are known to be both rewarding and stressful places to work. Like most workers, nurses face the challenge of balancing demands and achievements of work with those in their private lives. Hospital leaders can facilitate improved work-life balance (WLB) for hospital nurses by using tools already in place. Equally important, nurses can use their knowledge and resources to nurse the nurse within, which can greatly improve their experience of WLB, independent of the demands of their work environment.
护士对患者和同事忠诚。他们常常将他人的需求置于自己的需求之前，有时甚至置于家人的需求之前。这种对他人的关心会引发冲突，并表现为压力。在美国200多万护士中，超过62%在医院工作。众所周知，医院是工作既有回报又有压力的地方。和大多数工作者一样，护士面临着平衡工作需求与成就和私人生活需求与成就的挑战。医院领导可以通过使用现有的工具来促进医院护士改善工作与生活的平衡（WLB）。同样重要的是，护士可以利用自己的知识和资源来关爱内心的自己，这可以极大地改善他们的工作与生活平衡体验，而不受工作环境要求的影响。
