The demands of school, work, and life have become layered with the chaos of a global pandemic. We are juggling the same balls but now they are blazing hot with no signs of relief. Society still expects nurturers, caretakers, and nurses to smile while trying to keep our hero capes flowing. While we are trying hard to remember why we took on this responsibility. How do we maintain our sanity in the midst of the chaos? How do we care for ourselves while caring for others?
Individuals seeking to participate and register on their own, not with a school or group, may register online.
Schools/Colleges of Nursing wishing to register as a group should use the form below. The form must be completed and sent to Jessica Mahnke jessica@sysconsultingsolutions.com by March 15th at 5p.
