The Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PSNA), representing more than 215,000 registered nurses in Pennsylvania, is offering a facilitated workshop built around its publication, When Nurses Hurt Nurses Workbook. This workshop will awards 7.0 continuing nursing education credits. When Nurses Hurt Nurses Workbook was created in partnership with Sigma Theta Tau International and is authored by Cheryl Dellasega, PhD, RN, CRNP.
Nursing is viewed as the most trusted and caring profession and yet nurse-on-nurse bullying is a reality. Not only does it affect morale and professional self-esteem, but it jeopardizes patient care. When Nurses Hurt Nurses Workbookprovides guidance on recognizing relationally aggressive behaviors, diffusing confrontational situations and applying interpersonal communication skills. Dr. Dellasega equips nurses with tools to recognize relational aggression and promote change. Learning Activities enhance the reader’s application of these tools. By the end of this workbook, nurses will find their “a-ha” moment. This is an essential resource in creating a safer, more respectful workplace.
The workshop cost of $500 includes a bundle of 10 workbooks and four live one-hour webinars for 10 registered nurses. Participants can be added for $50 each. PSNA offers an optional four-hour live in-person conference (additional fees will apply). All live sessions will be presented by PSNA. When Nurses Hurt Nurses Workbook information is available at www.psna.org/workbook. Seven (7.0) continuing nursing education credits will be awarded upon completion of the workshop.
