We'll discuss the science behind this phenomenon and offer practical tips to create joyful moments at work. From tape rolling contests to chair races, these fun activities foster camaraderie and brighten our day. We also highlight the disparity between how bedside nurses and the broader healthcare system perceive patient outcomes, emphasizing the need for positivity to combat stress.
