How well you adjust to the new way things are being done helps instill confidence in your patients, which in turn reduces their stress level and can have a significant impact on their health. The COVID-19 pandemic has made everyone make a shift in their lives and their work.

Here are five strategies to consider.

Healthcare delivery has been evolving, transitioning from people visiting the witch doctor in his tent, traveling doctors throughout the American West, physicians setting up an office, and now to telemedicine. Urgent care and on-demand healthcare is a necessity since no one can schedule a twisted ankle or strep throat. 

Healthcare practitioners are on the front line of taking care of people with infectious diseases. During this pandemic triggered by SARS-CoV-2, it's important to ensure the health and safety of essential health care workers and follow CDC guidelines to keep staff and patients safe.  

Traveling nurses can also choose to work in long-term care facilities.

Healthcare professionals are in the business of caring for other people. Too often, we put ourselves second or even third to everyone else around us. When an infectious disease is rampant, such as flu season or the current COVID-19 pandemic, it's essential to consider how we can also keep our families safe.
