Mindfulness for Healthcare: Nurses

The 2021 Mindfulness for Healthcare Summit brought together over 45 leading mindfulness teachers and healthcare leaders in support of healthcare professionals around the world who have been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

From the summit, we have curated a collection of sessions specifically designed to support nurses.

In this collection, you will learn:

• Vital resources to rekindle your sense of connection
• Practices to help maintain balance in difficult situations
• Powerful mindfulness practices to fit into a busy daily schedule
• How to preserve or restore integrity in response to the sources of moral adversity

• Guided meditation and yoga sessions

This collection includes sessions led by:

• Cynda Hylton Rushton, PhD, RN, FAAN

Testimonials

"I am a hospital based physician in a COVID hotspot. This session exceeded my expectations providing helpful tips & reminders on my journey of a mindful, introspective, peaceful existence. Also I was surprised to experience some sadness acknowledging the suffering I have witnessed & experienced in the hospital this past year. Thank you for holding space for that."

"Thank you for framing this conversation & bringing clarity to meet different responses in those we work within the medical system! The tools are most helpful and deeply appreciated, as I can see the system moves in different paces and so do all those involved. I feel these would be so beneficial to ground and center. Thank you so much for your contribution, I can feel this move through the various hospital systems where I teach! Deep bow!"

"Great introduction and a reminder of why we are all here attending the conference - great minds think alike and continue to learn from each other."
