Spring Member Meeting 2020

"Compassion Fatigue"
presented by Minyee Chung, RN

Picture
Minnie Chung has been a Registered Nurse in various fields, i.e. psychiatry, oncology, surgery, pre & post anesthesia, ophthalmology since 2000. She came into nursing wanting to help others and found joy in doing so. In the process, nevertheless, she herself experienced burnout and loss of meaning. Later she realized that what’s missing in her life was her connection to herself and to something Greater than herself. Her goal, in completing a master’s degree at Seattle University, is to facilitate workshops & retreats for professionals for rekindling and reconnecting with their spirituality to address our loss of meaning and to increase our overall sense of wellbeing. 

Learning Objectives for our Member Meeting:

● Understand what Compassion Fatigue/Burnout is
● Understand the complexities surrounding Compassion Fatigue/ Burnout
● Recognize a meaning making process as we choose a connecting, empowering and humanizing narrative
