I don't have time to get sick!

Hey students! As we begin midterms next week, we want to remind you how important it is to stay healthy. It is officially flu season and it is essential to take certain precautions especially as college students. Getting sick as nursing students can be an academic setback. Be sure to get plenty of rest, and that includes naps when you get the chance to. Also, drink plenty of water throughout the day. The following are simple ways to decrease your chances of getting sick; the following are a few CDC recommendations:

1. Avoid close contact with those that are sick

2. Stay home when you are sick.

3. Cover your mouth and nose.

4. Wash your hands often (20 seconds is preferred)

5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
