Resiliency and self-care have always been essential to those in the caring professions. As the pandemic endures, tending to one’s own well-being is perhaps more important than ever for nurses.
Join host Maddy Pearson, chief nursing officer and senior vice president of Clinical Services at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, as she interviews guests about trauma-informed care, sleep health, moral distress, joy and other topics to help nurses prioritize wellness and build resiliency.
Guests will reflect on their own experiences and provide resources to support other nurses on the journey toward resiliency. We hope that these conversations provide ideas and inspiration for you to start or continue making self-care a regular part of your routine.
