Healthcare workers have faced an extremely daunting year filled with unique challenges that have only added to an already stressful job. There’s no doubt that the work that doctors and nurses do is important. Here at Shreveport Bossier Corporate Housing, we want the medical professionals staying in our travel nurse housing to feel like they can relax at the end of a workday. We’ve worked hard to create a home-away-from-home for your enjoyment. In this post, we’ll discuss ways you can allow your mind and body to rest by taking a bath.
Keys to successful bath-time relaxation

Hotel rooms just don’t feel like home. In fact, some hotels don’t even have a bathtub…only a shower. Our travel nurse housing offers a homey atmosphere with a traditional bathtub and a shower feature. Of course, bathtime offers a number of benefits besides just getting clean. It can help your muscles to release tension and your mind to focus on a comforting daily routine. To get the full effect, you’ll want to prepare for your bath by using the suggestions below…
- The first key to a stress-relieving bath is time. If you have a lot to get done while at home or need to run some errands, you won’t get the full enjoyment of a bath. Allow yourself to stop worrying about patients at the hospital or other stresses of the day.
- Make sure your bathroom area is clean or uncluttered. This will help you not to focus on extraneous things, but only on yourself.
- Get a clean, dry towel to have on hand when needed. Each of our condos feature large bath towels as well as washer and dryer units for renters to use.
- Light a couple of candles if desired.
- Bring a favorite book if you like to read.
- Use Spotify or another similar app on your phone if music helps you to unwind.
- Bring chocolate, a glass of wine or other snacks into the bathroom…just to treat yourself.
- Purchase Epsom salts, luxurious bubble bath, scented soaps, essential oils or whatever else you might find refreshing. This Women’s Health article offers some spa bath ideas and this one from ScrubsMag.com explains how bathtime can help nurses to unwind.
