This article discusses the findings of a 5-week pilot using a mindfulness app among medical-surgical nursing staff in an acute care setting during a 12-hour shift. Informational sessions on compassion fatigue, mindfulness, and the process were implemented with leadership providing daily support. The postimplementation survey demonstrated increased calmness and reduced stress. Barriers identified involve perceived time constraints. Awareness is needed on compassion fatigue, interventions to combat, and modifications to promote the culture of self-care.
