Trauma-Informed Professional Development
Episode 2: In this episode, we explore a new approach to nursing professional development that can help combat nurse burnout and workforce shortages. Our guest, Heidi Gilroy, PhD, RN, NPD-BC, NEA-BC, EBP-C, shares her insights on how we can support new graduate nurses and nurse residency programs through this new approach. As nurses, we often prioritize our patients' needs over our own, leading to stress, anxiety, and burnout. This new approach focuses on self-care and empowerment, enabling nurses to better care for themselves and their patients. By implementing this approach, nurses can develop the skills they need to thrive in their profession and provide the best possible care to their patients.
Guest: Heidi Gilroy, PhD, RN, NPD-BC, NEA-BC, EBP-C is the Director of Professional Development, Magnet, and Research at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center and serves as the Course Director for Leadership and Management at Sam Houston State University School of Nursing. She earned her PhD in Nursing Science in 2015 from Texas Woman's University and has certifications in Evidence-Based Practice, Executive Leadership, Nursing Professional Development, and Six Sigma methodology. Dr. Gilroy has spent more than a decade researching the effects of trauma on functioning in vulnerable populations, including students and practicing nurses. Her Trauma-Informed Professional Development framework is a result of this research. Dr. Gilroy is passionate about providing a healing environment for patients and nurses and teaches the framework to leaders and educators nationwide to reach that goal.
