13 Contact Hour CE Course Bundle for Nurses

This 13-hour CE bundle includes 3 courses that are designed to help nurses deepen their competence and confidence in caring for both their patients and themselves. All three courses are based on evidence from holistic nursing practice, research, and the biological, behavioral, and social sciences.

Learn to Be a Healing Presence to Support People Who Are Living with a Life-Threatening Illness
(4 CE Contact Hours)

This CE course explores the challenges of helping people who are living with a life-threatening illness and offers effective ways to respond to their challenges holistically.

Expand Your Empathy, Compassion & Resilience by Being Loving & True to Yourself
(6 CE Contact Hours)

To sustainably care for others, nurses must care for themselves. Self-care not only helps us stay healthy; it also expands our capacity for empathy, compassion, and resilience. This CE course will give you new self-care tools so that you are empowered to better care for others.

Learn How to Respond to the Spiritual Needs of People Who Are Living with Life-Threatening Illness
(3 Contact Hour CE Course)

Studies show that people who have spiritual practices are healthier and live longer, but many nurses feel uncertain when the subject comes up because spirituality is both vast and profoundly personal. This 3-hour CE course will help you center and strengthen yourself spiritually, no matter what your faith is, so you can respond more effectively to the needs of those you care for.

The author’s viewpoint is based on four principles:

Holism (from Greek holos, meaning "all, whole, entire"): the idea that systems (e.g., physical, biological, chemical, social, mental, environmental, etc.) and their properties must be viewed as wholes that are synergistic and more elegantly powerful than just collections of their parts.
Our spirit does not die. It leaves the body and continues living.
By facing the reality of death, we receive vital gifts that empower us to joyfully live!
We are filled with love and light when we support each other to live and leave in peace.

This course is offered by Awakening to Grace, which is a CE Provider Approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider #17389.
