Nurse as Patient - Individual and System Implications - Online Course

This course is available for FREE to Sigma Members.

In this one-hour webinar, participants will be encouraged to consider nurses as individuals in need of care and comfort. Individual/nurse and system-level implications will be discussed, especially as we examine healthcare systems that have increasingly drawn attention to nurse well-being.

This course will retire after 31st August 2025.
