May, June, July 2021 The Bulletin 3 CEO NOTE 4….7…….8…….. Katherine Feley, DNP, RN, NE-BC, CPPS Chief Executive Officer Self-care is different for everyone. The Oxford Dictionary (2021) defines selfcare as the practice of taking an active role in protecting one’s own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. Self-care is also a journey and positive results may not happen overnight, but a good night’s rest is always a great start. I was recently reminded of a simple favorite, the 4-7-8 breathing technique. For me, it works like a charm, every time. Whether I am trying to relax before sleep or clear my mind during the day, the counting and steadiness brings me back to my center. Last Bulletin, I asked you to take a pause with me. This time I am asking that you take a longer pause; • Breathe in, counting 4 seconds, through the nose • Hold the breath for a count of 7 • Exhale through the mouth for 8 seconds • Repeat This can be done in various counts like 5-5-5 or 4-4-6. Choose your own count! ISNA is focused on sharing different ways to promote self-care in hopes that one or many might fit your journey. We plan to add programs that engage our community through socializing in various ways and introducing health lifestyle habits, all while remaining focused on professionalism, growth, and advocacy. I encourage you to join us as a member and to engage in the ISNA community to build resilience and add to your self-care toolbelt. Membership dues directly support new programs and your benefits. Thank you to our new and long-term members for your support! Looking back (ICYMI): ✓ We had a great Advocacy Day! Thank you to both our attendees and speakers that made this such a fruitful activity. The invigoration of an advocacy event like ISNA’s Advocacy Day is both enjoyable and informative. Catch the full review in Blayne’s write up later in this issue. ✓ Launch of the National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing led by ANA ✓ 21 Day Kickstart – We just finished our first ever 21 Day Kickstart with member and author Joanne Evans in which we learned how to plan and sustain a plant-based diet. We had fun while dedicating time and action to improving our nutrition which led to better sleep, improved mood, and even weight loss. ✓ Certified Nurses Day and Launch of the Success Pays- New Member Benefit ✓ An INF Scholarship Awarded to an ISNA Member to attend AHA’s Accelerating Health Equity Conference – Congratulations Theresa Fullenkamp! ✓ More and more additions to RNPerks through ANA ~ Happy Shopping! I can’t spill all of the spring jellybeans but we have new projects launching soon: • Celebration of Nurses Month – May 2021 • Release the Fourth Edition of the Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice • ANA Membership Assembly and Advocacy Day – June 2021 • Ride & Raise for National Nurses Month - ISNA will be joining our local colleagues at Ride & Raise to donate to the American Nurses Foundation while we exercise and meditate May8th-22nd See Page 17 for more info! • Emphasis on Diversity and Inclusion • More collaborations! • More scholarships! ISNA along with our professional partners The Indiana Center for Nursing, Indiana Organization of Nursing Leaders, Indiana Student Nurse Association, and Indiana League for Nursing and the Education Council of Indiana Nursing Deans and Directors invite you join us for a 12 week text initiative to promote well-being and resiliency.
