The physical, psychological, social, spiritual and moral impacts of our complex work environment can be debilitating, ultimately affecting patient outcomes. However, evidence shows that by taking an active role in creating a better, more supportive work environment, nurses can enhance their own well-being and that of their colleagues. But where do you start?
AACN’s “Nurses Leading Change for Well-Being,” a live virtual course, provides knowledge and strategies to help nurses in all roles generate workplace change focused on the art of leading yourself before leading others. This four-part, interactive online experience shares implementation science and well-being concepts to foster a renewed emphasis on self-worth, compassion and integrity through peer-to-peer connections.
