The Human Side of Health Systems:

Part 1: Understanding the Individual Experience of Burnout in Critical Care Nursing

Madison Hickey is a Registered Nurse with a background in critical care, health research, implementation science, and clinical innovation, bringing a unique perspective on the relationship between nurse experience, wellness, and health-system performance. Her previous research explored the factors shaping wellness and organizational health among Registered Nurses working in Critical Care, while her current role as Manager of Clinical Innovation at Nova Scotia Health focuses on translating evidence, frontline perspectives, and emerging ideas into meaningful system change. Her work is grounded in a central question relevant to critical care nursing: how can we move beyond understanding the challenges nurses face to designing systems that enable nurses, and the patients and families they care for, to thrive?

Joint Webinar with the Canadian Association of Neonatal Nurses

Beyond skin deep: Chronic Hand Eczema (CHE) is a significant occupational health concern for Canadian nurses

This project has been generously supported by LEOPharma

This session will explore the underrecognized burden of chronic hand eczema (CHE) among Canadian nurses and its implications for workforce sustainability. Beyond a skin condition, CHE is a significant occupational health issue contributing to attrition in an already strained healthcare system.

Drawing on a national survey led by the Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses and the Canadian Association of Neonatal Nurses, findings show that 80% of affected nurses report worsening symptoms due to frequent hand hygiene, and 75% report significant impacts on work performance.

The session will share the lived experience of a nurse with CHE and will outline strategies to advance prevention, protection, early intervention, and supportive policy solutions to safeguard our frontline workforce.

Presenters: Marley Gregorio, VP, CACCN, Caroline Penner, and Amy Wright, President, CANN

Initial Burn Care and Stabilization – Priorities in the First 24 Hours

Caring for patients with severe burn injuries presents unique challenges that extend far beyond wound management. From recognizing inhalation injury and securing a threatened airway to managing complex fluid resuscitation and identifying time-sensitive surgical emergencies, all critical care nurses can play a vital role in improving outcomes during the early phases of burn care. In this engaging 40-45-minute session, participants will review the key principles of burn management within the first 24 hours. The presentation will explore early assessment priorities, evidence-based fluid resuscitation strategies, recognition of the systemic hypermetabolic response, and interventions that support recovery while minimizing complications. Challenges and pitfalls of initial burn care will be discussed while transfer to specialized burn centers is being organized. The session concludes with a live 15-minute question-and-answer period focused on practical challenges and real-world clinical application. The target audience for this webinar is critical care nurses who are not experienced in providing burn care or who work in specialized burn care centers but may not work with this population.
