Remember the last time you felt completely relaxed?

Exactly.

Luckily, we’ve taken to Etsy to find eight items that may help you leave the hospital behind once you’re off duty for the day.

 

Just when you thought a warm bath couldn’t get any better….

Find it here.

 

Decompress after a loooonnggggg shift with the help of this linen pillow, complete with lavender and flaxseed all-organic goodness.

Find it here.

 

Whether you’re catching up on your reading, sipping some tea or doing absolutely nothing at all, these lavender, rosemary and jasmine soy candles are the perfect companions.

Find them here.

 

We don’t know what’s more tempting—that fact that this heated pillow can be used to soothe your work-weary, sore muscles or that it smells like fresh blueberries and pomegranate.

We’ll let you decide.

Find it here.

 

Essential oils are a fabulous (and oh-so easy) source of stress relief when levels are at an all-time high. Dab lightly on your wrists and temples, or add a few drops to your bath water.

Find it here.

 

Chamomile, lavender, spearmint, rosemary and juniper…all of our favorite scents in just one (almost) too-pretty-to-use bar of aromatherapy soap to help soothe your soul after a crazy shift.

Find it here.

 

Just a gentle reminder for the work-weary that just so happens to look adorable when framed.

Find it here.

 

The perfect formula for a nurse’s day off.
