Understanding Burnout in Nursing

In collaboration with the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta

I am honoured to contribute my expertise in burnout prevention and recovery through continuing education initiatives. Most recently, I delivered a two-day webinar for the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA), offering continuing education credit to more than 20,000 healthcare professionals.

In this continuing education webinar, I discuss how burnout specifically impacts nursing professionals and share how context matters within the constraints of the healthcare system. I share the causes and impact of burnout syndrome, and specific strategies for recovery and how to support colleagues who may be experiencing the syndrome. 

Dr. Farrell provides specialized consulting services to individuals and corporations worldwide. 

Dr. Farrell’s expertise is grounded in her academic research, with her work combining the latest psychological research with practical interventions that address the complex factors contributing to burnout.
