4-5:30 p.m.
Online
Nurses may receive 1.5 contact hours for participating in this educational activity.
Pressures in the nursing environment have increased significantly over the past decade or so, as nurses are asked to do more with less and to do so faster. Nurses are feeling the effects, and burnout has increased in the profession. In some regions of the United States, nearly 30 percent of new graduates leave the profession within two years. Nurses are frequently exposed to suffering and death, the demands of patients and families, and ethical issues that can cause moral distress.
This presentation will describe the current state of health and well-being in nurses along with the root cause and consequences of burnout. Evidence-based strategies to reduce burnout and enhance the well-being of nurses, including building and sustaining wellness cultures, will be highlighted.
