In the wake of the pandemic, close to half of nurses are reporting symptoms of depression.
Secondary stress is that extra level of stress specifically related to the demands of nursing care provided to patients and families in today’s health care system. Nurses are no strangers to the threat and reality of secondary stress as a condition of caring for others. The current pandemic, however, has exacerbated and intensified this stress and the burnout that follows.
This webinar, presented by an internationally recognized expert, Gloria F. Donnelly, PhD, RN, FAAN, FCPP, provides insight and strategies for dealing with secondary stress, and its emotional and moral distress. Dealing effectively with secondary stress can be, literally, a matter of life or death.
Topics to be addressed in this important and timely program include:
- Differences between normative job stress and secondary stress experienced by caregivers
- Signs and behaviors of secondary stress
- Effective strategies for self-care
- Resilience building and post-traumatic growth in the face of secondary stress
Attend this important webinar to learn the strategies to successfully deal with secondary stress. You will leave enlightened, uplifted, and encouraged.
Who should attend: All nurses in all practice settings

ANA Hill Day is back in person and will take place on Thursday, June 9th, and serves as an annual opportunity for Membership Assembly attendees to come together in our nation’s capital and safely meet face-to-face with their lawmakers in Congress.

To attend you will need to provide ANA with proof of vaccination on the morning of Hill Day.
**Note: While we are making every effort to host an in-person Hill Day, should Covid-19 and/or protocols on Capital Hill force ANA to pivot to a virtual Hill Day, staff will be in contact immediately to provide you the information and resources you need to meet with your members of Congress virtually.**

Long-Term Care Emergency Preparedness Educational Series
The Patient Safety Authority (PSA) is starting a 12-month long-term care emergency preparedness educational series, as identified by respondents of the 2020 PA LTCF annual survey.
Pennsylvania is vulnerable to multiple threats and hazards, including severe weather, hazardous materials spill, active shooter, terrorism, and infectious disease outbreak. While each of these threats is itself a problem, they may also disrupt power, telephone, and potable water delivery, as well as access to provisions such as food, staffing, medical supplies, and gasoline—making disaster preparedness critical to the safety of long-term care facilities.
This series aims to provide resources for facilities to develop their emergency preparedness plan to protect the lives and property of residents, staff, and visitors.
