August 16 Webinar Therapeutic Laughter: Creating a Mirthful Environment

Posted: August 3, 2017

We are in the eighth month of ANA’s Year of the Healthy Nurse, and our theme for August is happiness. We encourage nurses to seek happiness both at work and at home. 

 On our dedicated website, nurses will find helpful tips, articles, webinars and resources to assist them in their pursuit of happiness, featuring content from ANA, our constituent and state nurses associations, affiliated nursing organizations, and related providers. 

First, we encourage nurses to join the Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™ Grand Challenge, because health and wellness go hand-in-hand. 

The Navigate Nursing Webinar for August is Therapeutic Laughter: Creating a Mirthful Environment. It’s free for ANA members. Plan to attend on Wednesday, August 16, 2017, from 1 p.m.–2:00 p.m. EDT (log on at 12:30 p.m.).

Nurses can use fun and humor to reduce stress in the workplace by reading the article, “Laugh, Nurse, Laugh!”  By Kara Theal, MA, BSN, RN-BC, from the April 2017 issue of American Nurse Today. 

National Immunizations Awareness Month in August -- stay happy and healthy with disease prevention. 

Finally, consider taking the happiness pledge created in conjunction with International Happiness Day!

Nurses can visit the Year of the Healthy Nurse webpage for August to learn more about topics to help you balance your life for a healthier you in 2017.
