Creating a Culture of Well-Being in Nursing Education

Webinar Details

Nursing faculty, academic leaders, and staff play a critical role in preparing the future nursing workforce while advancing excellence in education, scholarship, and practice. As colleges and schools of nursing navigate evolving educational demands, workforce challenges, and increasing responsibilities, there is growing recognition of the importance of creating environments that support faculty well-being, engagement, and professional fulfillment. Investing in organizational well-being not only strengthens recruitment and retention but also enhances the learning environment and positively influences the professional formation of future nurses.  

This interactive panel discussion will introduce participants to the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Well-Being Excellence™ Credential and its application within nursing education. Attendees will learn how the credential provides a framework for creating healthy academic workplaces that prioritize psychological safety, resilience, engagement, and professional fulfillment. Expert panelists, including representatives from ANCC and leaders from credentialed organizations, will share practical strategies, lessons learned, outcomes achieved, and recommendations for implementation. Participants will leave with a roadmap for advancing faculty well-being, reducing burnout, strengthening workforce retention, and modeling healthy professional practices for nursing students.
