Keeping Travelers Mentally & Physically Fit

When people talk about stress, you generally conjure up negative images, typically involving someone with red-rimmed eyes, crazy hair, clenched teeth and maybe, just maybe, the word “postal” comes into the vocabulary. However, stress isn’t the bad guy; it’s more or less how we choose to handle (or don’t handle) our stress that becomes the problem. Changing jobs, moving, and major life changes are typically the main causes of stress which unfortunately, as a traveler, two out of those three comprise the nature of what you do.

Elves of Aureus Medical Spread Holiday Cheer

The elves of Aureus Medical were extremely busy this season, continuing the annual tradition of giving back to the community by helping children, families, and senior citizens throughout the Holidays.

The Aureus Medical spirit was at its peak as teams and departments worked together to fulfill needs, instill hope, spread cheer, and lend a hand. The generosity of employees companywide – gifts, time, monetary contributions, and other efforts – was truly extraordinary.

A Year of Reflection

It’s been one crazy year…well, for me, and I thought this holiday season would be the best time to reflect on my experiences. First and foremost, I have to say, that life isn’t a bowl of cherries. In fact, there are oranges, apples, bananas and a whole basket of other fruits. I’ve started the year with a new role where I’m able to interact with students and new graduates coming into the healthcare field and it’s been fantastic. No one is the same, of course, and no matter the field (PT, OT, or SLP), everyone has their own “flavor”, if you will, that they bring to the table. I just love it!

Requesting Time Off

Often throughout the year, but especially during the holiday season, there are concerns about having time off. What is the best approach for asking for time off for a holiday or a vacation?

Sticking to Your New Year’s Resolutions

During this time of year many people set New Year’s resolutions to make a start fresh to the upcoming year. Whether it’s exercising more, setting a budget, stopping smoking, or donating more to the community, these goals are meant to improve our own lives and those around us. And while most people have good intentions it can be very difficult to stick to your resolution. Statistics show the average length of time a person sticks with their New Year’s resolution is only about six weeks.
