Course Description

This program has been developed to educate nurses and nursing leaders in innovative strategies to address two failing systems in nursing: nursing culture and work environment. The workshop aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to foster a supportive nursing culture that values and prioritizes each individual nurse. It will focus on emotional intelligence as a tool to improve nursing retention, decrease stress & burnout, and improve the patient experience.

Additionally, the workshop will explore the use of the B.A.N.K Methodology and personality science, discuss practical applications for nursing so we can increase retention, decrease stress and burnout, and improve the patient experience.
