Inspired Nurse
Healthcare, and nursing in particular, is one of the few professions that affords one the opportunity to impact lives on such a profound level, not only physically but emotionally and spiritually as well. Yet the same qualities that make the nursing profession so deeply rewarding can also make it a challenge for us to sustain our energy and passion over time. The “Inspired Nurse” presentation helps us maintain and recapture those elusive qualities. Those of us who call healthcare our life’s work must also take care of ourselves in order to be able to do the challenging physical, emotional, and intellectual work that it takes to serve others.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the value of inspiration in your healthcare journey.
- Implement exercises and techniques that you can incorporate into your healthcare journey to help you feel connected or reconnected to purpose, passion, and inspiration.
- Examine specific topics that will include, but not be limited to, gratitude, humor, using different words and thoughts, mental preparation for the day, honoring mentors, and encouraging new peers.

Inspired Care/Leader
Few other professions afford the opportunity to impact lives on such a profound level, not only physically but emotionally and spiritually as well. Yet the same qualities that make healthcare so deeply rewarding can also make it a challenge for us to sustain our energy and passion over time. Inspired care helps us maintain and recapture those elusive qualities. Healthcare workers must also take care of themselves in order to be able to do the challenging physical, emotional, and intellectual work that it takes to serve others. In this thought-provoking and inspirational presentation, Rich Bluni, a registered nurse, reminds all healthcare employees why we chose this profession. He provides a wealth of action-oriented “spiritual stretches” that help us more fully integrate the gifts of healthcare — joy, wonder, gratitude, insight, and grief — into our daily lives. His personal stories illuminate those sacred moments we all experience. Inspired care is a welcome validation that when we stay engaged and committed, we’re more likely to provide extraordinary patient care … in terms of both clinical outcomes and human compassion.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the value of inspiration in your healthcare journey.
- Implement exercises and techniques that you can incorporate into your healthcare journey to help you feel connected or reconnected to purpose, passion, and inspiration.
- Examine specific topics that will include, but not be limited to, gratitude, humor, using different words and thoughts, mental preparation for the day, honoring mentors, and encouraging new peers.

Oh No! Not More of That Fluffy Stuff!
The challenges we face in healthcare are hard, and there’s no reason to believe it’s going to get any easier. Perhaps instead of hoping it will someday get easier, maybe it’s more about us figuring out ways to get better in the way we deal with and face these hard challenges. Sometimes you just need a little of that fluffy stuff! Rich Bluni will share ways to get back to the “why” that makes it possible to do the incredible work we do in healthcare. After all, the fluffy stuff isn’t really all that fluffy … it’s all about the power of engagement.
Learning Objectives
- Upon completion of the program, the attendee will be able to define and describe the power of “why” and our stories.
- The attendee will be able to relate and describe the value of “starting well.”
- The attendee will be able to discuss the concept of “what really matters” and also not allowing the external environment to change who you are inside.
