Description

Nursing is a demanding profession, and it can be easy to feel burned out. The COVID-19 pandemic has only made things worse. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or exhausted, you’re not alone. As a nurse or nurse practitioner (NP), you likely struggled through parts or all of the pandemic, but you are also aware that burnout was an issue even before that.

This micro-course will teach you how to use journaling as a tool for resilience. Learn about the “Great Resignation” and “quiet quitting” in nursing and how short staffing, low pay, and long hours contributed to a dire nursing and faculty shortage. This micro-course also provides strategies to offset the burnout of nursing and to create a self-care plan to prevent burnout.

What You Will Learn

Upon successful completion of this micro-course, you will be able to:

  • Understand what resilience in nursing is and is not.
  • Distinguish between servant leadership and self-defeating behaviors that lead to burnout.
  • Recommend strategies to integrate resilience into your work, academic, or professional organization environments.
  • Apply self-care strategies to maintain passion and compassion in your work-life balance to maintain resilience.
  • Appraise your own level of stress and burnout.
  • Create a self-care plan to enhance resilience strategies for your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
  • Learn when to stay and when to leave as the ultimate self-care.

Disclosure Statement

The planners and content authors of this nursing continuing professional development activity disclose that there are no financial relationships (those held by the planner or significant other, currently or within the last 12 months) with commercial interests. Accredited provider units are required to provide this information to learners before the start of an activity.

While professional development activities offered by an American Nurses Credentialing Center Provider Unit typically satisfy the requirements of most states, Walden University recommends that participants ensure that the content offered meets their individual requirements.

The state board of nursing determines the number and type of contact hours that can be claimed for professional development activities.
