About the Course
We are told by some that the pandemic is abating. Cases are leveling out. We can enter our “new normal” at varying rates of speed. But what does this mean? The issue becomes even more confusing when we hear about the “second wave” of cases. Probably the biggest concern is that there are still so many unknowns. What does “new normal” look like? As with the pandemic itself, nurses will be called on to help others deal with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. This course examines some of the possible long-term effects of this global health problem and explores potential ways nurses can help patients and their families deal with life after the pandemic.

About the Course
The effects of COVID-19 are playing a devastating emotional and physical toll on healthcare providers – working around the clock, seeing the impacts of the virus up front and personal, missing one’s family, and not knowing what tomorrow will bring. Will it finally start getting better or is there still worse to come? Meanwhile, healthcare providers continue to give the care that is required while running on near-empty themselves. This course provides a framework and examples that help inspire ways to continue to lead with compassion when you’re fatigued, drained, and worried and will showcase the powerful effect this has on you, your patients and your community.

About the Course
Nursing has been named the most TRUSTED profession in America for the 19th consecutive year. What an amazing accomplishment. So why then is trust in such short supply within the profession? COVID-19 has amplified the declining levels of trust exponentially. Whether due to strains on staffing, poor organizational communication or PPE shortages, trust between frontline caregivers and nurse leaders has been negatively impacted. This course presents the inextricable link between Cultures of Trust and higher employee engagement, increased teamwork and empowerment, increased performance, and lower turnover. You will learn the role each of us can play in rebuilding trust that has eroded during the demands and stressors in the work environment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
