## The Importance of Nurse Wellbeing

Nurse wellbeing refers to the overall health, happiness and fulfillment of nurses in their professional and personal lives. It encompasses various dimensions, including physical health, mental and emotional stability, job satisfaction, work-life balance and a supportive work environment.
