Compassion Fatigue Podcast

One of the most commonly searched terms on this site is “compassion fatigue” (or alternately  “secondary trauma” or “burnout”). Enough of you have been searching the term lately that I’m compelled to give you a new offering on the subject. This one‘s from PESI, and while it’s not free (cost is $29), it nets nurses 1.5 CEUs in a convenient audio package.

According to the website, highlights of the program includes:
