Expanding impact through national collaboration

Using a simulation learning model, her project provides student nurses with practical tools to strengthen their well-being and resilience as they navigate the demands of clinical work.
“I’m excited to bring what we’re learning here in Hawaiʻi to a national stage, and then bring back strategies and resources that can make a real difference for our students and faculty,” Hale said. “This work is about more than measuring burnout—it’s about creating sustainable ways to support the well-being of the people who care for our communities every day.”
By the end of the program, Hale hopes to build lasting peer-to-peer partnerships with national leaders and translate those lessons into actionable programs at 糖心Vlog官方, advancing the school’s mission to train the next generation of clinicians who thrive in their professional and personal lives.
