Thrive in Practice: Wellness Strategies for Burnout and Compassion Fatigue

In today’s high-demand healthcare environments, nurses are increasingly vulnerable to compassion fatigue and burnout—conditions that not only diminish professional effectiveness but also take a profound toll on physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This transformative online continuing education course is designed to help nurses recognize, understand, and respond to the signs of burnout and compassion fatigue using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches.

Participants will explore the psychological and physiological impacts of chronic stress on the nervous system, and learn strategies that support balance and resilience. Drawing from neuroscience, arts-based research, and holistic health practices, the course integrates movement, music, and mindfulness as powerful tools for self-regulation and healing. Nurses will be guided through experiential learning and reflective exercises that cultivate awareness, self-compassion, and creative expression.

By the end of this course, participants will develop a personalized and sustainable wellness plan that supports long-term vitality and fosters renewed purpose in caregiving. Whether you are experiencing early signs of fatigue or seeking preventative strategies, this course empowers you to care for yourself as deeply as you care for others.
