Cool Down This Summer—On Us!

Let’s face it—being a nurse in the summer can feel like working in a sauna with a stethoscope. Between long shifts, PPE, and heat waves, staying cool is a serious challenge. That’s why Hero Care is proud to offer something a little extra for our hardworking nurses: wellness bonuses that you can use to actually cool down.

Whether you're looking for physical relief or a mental refresh, your wellness bonus is your golden ticket to chill—literally.

Why Cooling Down Matters

Nursing is demanding on a good day. Add extreme temperatures, long commutes, or community care visits in the blazing sun, and the risk of burnout (or overheating!) climbs fast. That’s why taking proactive steps to rest, recover, and recharge isn’t just self-care—it’s essential.

And yes, cooling off with intention can help prevent fatigue, reduce stress, and even improve your focus on shift.

Cool Ways to Use Your Wellness Bonus

Here are some summer-smart ideas that count as wellness—and yes, they’re all covered under your Hero Care bonus:

🧊 Cooling Eye Masks

Pop them in the fridge and apply after a shift. Not only do they reduce puffiness and help you relax, but they also feel incredibly satisfying after 12 hours on your feet.

💨 Mini Desk Fans

For nurses who chart at a desk, a mini USB fan is a game-changer. It’s small, quiet, and offers a quick breeze that makes a big difference in a stuffy space. Bonus: they’re adorable.

💆‍♀️ Massage Therapy or Float Spa Sessions

Use your bonus for a full-body reset. Massages help release muscle tension and stress, while float therapy gives your mind and body 60 minutes of pure, weightless peace. (It’s like hitting the reset button, but fancier.)

🛁 Cooling Foot Soaks or Epsom Salt Baths

Treat your feet after a long day. Grab a peppermint or eucalyptus-infused foot soak and feel the relief. You’ve earned it.

🍦 Creative Options That Still Count

Cool smoothie? Icy protein shake? A fancy reusable water bottle? If it supports your wellness and helps you stay cool, it's fair game.

Not Just a Perk—It’s a Thank You

Hero Care’s wellness bonuses aren’t just for show. They're our way of saying, “We see you. We value you. And we want you to feel your best.”

Nurses give so much—especially in the summer when others are vacationing and you’re holding the front line. So let your bonus work for you. Take the time. Buy the thing. Book the appointment. Chill out, recharge, and return stronger.

Your Hero Care wellness bonus is flexible, meaningful, and designed to help you take care of you.
