Annual Summer Institute wrapping up in Fort Worth
Sharon Judkins
More than 150 nurses turned out today for “hardiness” training at the DFW Hospital Council (DFWHC) Foundation Workforce Center’s annual Summer Institute in Fort Worth. Taking place at the Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus, this year’s theme was “Hardiness Training for Nurses,” with speaker Sharon Judkins, RN, PhD, NEA-BC, a retired associate professor at UT Arlington, presenting her special seminar throughout the day.
“Quite simply, Sharon is asking today’s attendees, ‘Are you hardy enough?’ Her presentation has been an innovative way to create a form of hardiness in nurses, considered a major antidote for workplace burnout,” said Sally Williams, director of the DFWHC Foundation Workforce Center. “Such team building among North Texas nurses is a unique and productive way to boost the morale of our healthcare workforce.”
