End of life with ALS and assisted non-invasive ventilation (Bi-level/BiPAP Therapy)

Date Time: Dec 1, 2020 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Nurses are becoming tired dealing with this pandemic, and stress levels at work and sometimes at home can become problematic. Home schooling, spouses working from home, becoming a sandwich generation caregiver, worrying about parents in LTC and being shunned by your neighbor just for being a nurse are just a few of the problems facing nursing today in these pandemic times! 

Join SNIG in welcoming Rhonda Seidman Carlson who will be talking about :

Workplace Bullying - The Impact of a Pandemic

Dear members,

Staff nurses have been challenged dealing with this pandemic. More than ever we need to focus on our self-care so that we can properly advocate for our patients/residents as well as ourselves. Nurses are challenged not only in their work environment, but also their home environment as well. Home schooling, sending children to school in uncertain times, spouses and nurses working from home as well as in unpredictable work settings can all add stress. We ask that you take care of yourselves so that you are able to take care of others. We do need a plan. 

Staff nurses know the effect that COVID-19 has had on our lives and on our practice.

Come join SNIG and listen to Paula Manuel give a presentation Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020 from 7 - 8 p.m.
