Boundaries
in Nursing

Reducing Burnout.
Building Resilience.

A skills-based, in-person continuing education seminar for RNs, LPNs, and APRNs navigating high emotional load, time pressure, and complex clinical demands. You’ll learn a simple boundary framework that clarifies why and when to hold firm, or if responding with flexibility might better serve the situation. Flexibility in your boundaries doesn’t have to drain you. We demystify the flexible boundary so you can practice it with skill to alleviate burnout, strengthen your resilience, and foster professional goodwill within your team. Discover a more sustainable approach to boundary-setting in this 4.0 hour continuing education seminar.

  • “I appreciate Eva fleshing out the three skills of the Yes/No strategy as it provides a guide to verbalizing your authentic Yes and your authentic No.”

    Patricia M.

  • "Although I love speaking with patients, making my “yeses” be “yes,” and my “nos” be “no” is not my strong suit… Being able to offer a firm “no,” with a non-compromising “yes,” is a way to maintain my own sanity, while also providing the colleague, administrator, or patient with something out of the deal as well. It was a very enjoyable talk; she’s an engaging speaker, and I plan to purchase her book. I highly recommend working with her.”

    Thomas C.

  • "We navigate a journey riddled with so many opportunities to face boundaries and unmet expectations. This presentation helped me look at the principles of what adds value to a relationship and what creates a deficit, so the decision to waive goodbye, when necessary, will not be as daunting.”
