Email: info@hapnhawaii.org <br /> <br />Compassion fatigue, sometimes referred to as ‘nurse fatigue’ or ‘nurse burnout’ is a serious issue <br />faced by many nurses, affecting productivity, health and safety, job satisfaction, retention, as <br />well as patient outcomes. The cost of caring is an occupational hazard for nurses. For those in <br />the healthcare professions, early recognition and improved self-care both in and out of the <br />workplace are key to creating wellness. Self-care, increases a caregiver’s capacity to care for <br />others. Self-care, however, is not just about making healthy lifestyle choices- it is about being <br />present with one’s feelings, sensations and intuitive guidance to detect what is best in any given <br />moment. <br /> <br />Conference to be held at the Grand Naniloa Hotel, <br />93 Banyan Drive, Hilo, HI <br /> Accommodation: http://group.doubletree.com/HapnAnnualConference <br />thth <br /> Friday, May 18 and Saturday May 19, 2018. <br /> <br /> EASY On-line REGISTRATION: www.hapnhawaii.org <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
