In today’s demanding healthcare environment, nurses often found themselves giving endlessly to others while neglecting their own wellbeing. In “Giving Grace to Yourself: Prioritizing Your Professional Wellbeing During Challenging Times,” Naomi James, RN, founder of Building Better Nurses, shared strategies to help nurses reclaim balance, resilience, and confidence in their professional lives. Drawing from 15 years of clinical experience, her journey as an educator, and her personal story as a heart disease survivor, Naomi offered a practical and compassionate framework for navigating stress, setting boundaries, and fostering self-care without guilt.
Attendees walked away with actionable tools to:
Recognize the early signs of burnout and compassion fatigue
Build resilience and confidence in a rapidly changing healthcare environment
Integrate simple, effective self-care practices into daily routines
Prioritize professional growth without sacrificing personal wellbeing
This session was designed to inspire and equip healthcare leaders with the grace, strategies, and mindset needed to thrive both at the bedside and beyond.
