Burnout can be prevented and overcome. You can rediscover your enthusiasm for your profession and your patients. Immediate, concrete actions exist that can start you on the path of prevention and healing. This webinar is designed to equip you with the strategies and tools necessary to fend off burnout and to rejuvenate your commitment and enthusiasm for nursing.
In this inspiring episode of Mental Health Trailblazers: Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up, host Indrias Kassaye chats with Dr. Thomas Sargent, a two-time Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) alumnus, whose journey from an unexpected nudge into nursing to becoming a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is nothing short of remarkable. Dr. Sargent shares his personal story of breaking through the barriers of a predominantly white, female-dominated profession as an African American male nurse practitioner.
Throughout the episode, Dr. Sargent reflects on his experiences—never seeing Black male nurse educators during his studies—and how that absence motivated him to push harder and reach higher. He also dives into his groundbreaking work in addressing workplace violence in healthcare. His research reveals how trauma-informed care and cultural humility are critical to reducing incidents of violence and creating safer environments for healthcare providers. With healthcare workers facing an alarming rate of workplace violence, Dr. Sargent's efforts are not only timely but essential.
