For leaders seeking a comprehensive, expert coached and consulted series on activating well-being in your workplace, consider joining the AACN "Nurses Leading Change for Well-being" course launching in September: 

Event Summary

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” 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.

Focus and Objectives

Participants will receive expert instruction, coaching and mentoring from experienced leadership faculty. The course provides experiential learning – including small group work – with faculty providing guidance and serving as a resource throughout. Course objectives include:

  • Understanding and applying how to support well-being initiatives individually and on teams.
  • Taking part in networking with nurse leaders and direct care nurses with similar goals.
  • Collaborating on stewardship and project plans for implementation.
