Welcome to Self-Care Academy

formerly NurseFit®

As our company has evolved to include more participants than nurses, we have changed our name from NurseFit to Self-Care Academy. We understand that each employee contributes to quality patient care by managing their own self-care. We are now delighted to offer our on-site program to all who wish to participate.

Overview

Healthcare is a complex environment that is ever changing. Each employee has the responsibility to create a healing environment for the patient, yet sometimes the stress and emotional overload may be overwhelming, leading to Compassion Fatigue. The cost of Compassion Fatigue to hospitals is high and directly impacts employee satisfaction and patient satisfaction with high turnover rates, disengaged employees and potential errors.

Healing ourselves is pivotal to healing others.

Self-Care Academy is a comprehensive and sustainable program that addresses the employees’ physical, emotional and mental needs, focusing on making self-care a priority, allowing them to continue to give their best to others.

Self-Care Academy teaches a new skill set for stress reduction, self management and empowerment, and offers practical applications of self-care, improving engagement and reigniting the care-giving spirit.

The Self-Care Academy program consists of:

• Monthly coaching sessions to support lasting changes in self care behavior

• Onsite, convenient meditation classes

• Proven stress reduction techniques

• Inspirational monthly newsletters

• Incentivized participation

• Social media networking

Experience the benefits of reducing stress and Compassion Fatigue. Implement Self-Care Academy into your organization to improve employee satisfaction, patient satisfaction and retain re-energized, engaged and highly effective employees.
 

I LOVED meeting you and you gave our nurses exactly what I was hoping for! ... I was so excited to tell others what we had just been privileged to be a part of and shared your website with all of them. You might be getting other calls for help --- I know you’ll be able to say no when you need to so I didn’t hold back --- I raved! The real message of SELF care and identifying our own needs came through clearly and kindly. You did a beautiful job of presenting reminders as well as new information. None of us had heard of “compassion fatigue” but many of us have been there. It has given us lots of food for thought as well as a spring board for conversations. I know many of us walked out the room more in touch with why we chose nursing than we have been for a long time. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! It was truly wonderful to meet you and I can’t thank you enough for the perfect “Celebration of Nursing” workshop!!! Carol Kennedy, RN, MSN, CNO Gunnison Valley Hospital

Reignite the care-giving spirit!
