Stress in the loveliest month

  • Victoria Jane Pinkney-Atkinson Professional Nursing Today

Abstract

October may be the loveliest month, but it masks the climaxing stress that reaches a crescendo when the builders’ holidays start in mid-December. Not just the builders, of course, as the rest of South Africa comes to screeching halt for the traditional Christmas break. Then, suddenly, all is quiet, unless you work in a hospital or are dealing with sick and injured people. Then it is still a 24/7 marathon.
