This page is intended for nurses, caregivers, doctors, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals.

Especially during long shifts and night shifts, a good hydration routine can help you get through the day more easily.

Problem

Many healthcare workers have busy workdays in which patients and colleagues always come first. As a result, drinking enough is sometimes put off.

When shifts are busy, hydration is often something people only think about once they are already thirsty.

Explanation

What do you need to know?

  • Start your shift well hydrated.
  • Bring a water bottle.
  • Drink small amounts regularly.
  • Take extra care on hot days.
  • Make drinking part of your regular routine.

Small habits can make a big difference in the long run.
