This conference provides massive-value and is affordable. We don’t want anything standing in the way of nurses getting information they need and the choices available to take their careers to the next level.

Safety is our top priority, and your feedback has been great.

One of my favorite newsletters delivered to my in box is from Renee Thompson. There is always something I am able to take away that improves my work day. With that in mind, I asked Renee if it would be alright to link to a recent newsletter that featured Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) that left me impressed with their leadership team and the work of Healthy workforce Institute! Here’s the link: |

Robyn Seamon, MA, BSN, RN, CTN-B
Robyn is a speaker and consultant working to improve health and human service outcomes in rural Appalachia. She is part of this series of presentations addressing vaccine hesitancy in rural communities. Robyn’s story of how this niche study would become her passion is shared below.
“While pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Nursing, I had the opportunity to take an introduction to Appalachian studies course. Little did I know that this course in Appalachian studies would feel me with such passion and purpose. A small class discussion on healthcare in Appalachia really opened my eyes to the tremendous needs in health and health care in the Appalachian region. My research for a Masters of Art Degree in Appalachian studies centered on developing workshops for health care providers in the South - Central Appalachian region to help improve understanding of the rural Appalachian population. To date I have presented many different professional conferences, community health agencies, hospitals, classrooms, and to community members.
Providing cultural sensitivity training to health care providers in the Appalachian region will improve interactions and communication between provider and patient. This will lead to improved health outcomes and lessen health disparities in the region”.

A Fresh Approach to Healing by Kathy Allan
It’s no secret that nurses are being traumatized on the job. We hear a lot about nurses who are burned-out, exhausted and suffering from compassion fatigue. The secret we don’t hear about is what happens to those patients who have a burned-out, exhausted nurse taking care of them. A nurse who is working a 4th or 5th 12 hour shift in a row, who has so many patients that she doesn’t have time to go on a break or eat lunch or go to the bathroom, a nurse who is so tired that she can’t think straight, a nurse who may have been exposed to Covid-19 because the hospital didn’t provide adequate PPE. What happens to those patients?
