Burnout Recovery Micro Retreat
Two days by the ocean to rest, recover, and earn your CE hours alongside other nurses who get it.
An Invitation
Nurses carry so much: emotionally, mentally, physically. And most of the time, there's nowhere to set any of it down. You deserve a pause that helps you feel like yourself again and that pause can come from something you already have to do.
California nurses need 30 CE hours every two years, and too often those hours get done late at night, on a laptop, between shifts. This weekend turns 8 of them into recovery instead.
You earn CE hours that support your wellbeing rather than draining it. You take a meaningful break without using a full week of PTO. And you spend it with other nurses who understand your world. It's short, but intentional and deeply restorative.
Is This For You?
This retreat may be for you if…
The Venue
Hermosa Beach, California
Soft morning light, ocean air, and the sound of waves: the perfect setting for burnout recovery.
The Sessions
CE that feels like a breath of fresh air.
Practical, evidence-based, and designed specifically for nurses. You'll cover:
Understanding the physiology of burnout
Burnout isn't a personal failure. You'll learn how stress affects your sleep, blood pressure, and decision-making.
Emotional regulation strategies
Tools to interrupt emotional overload and prevent compassion fatigue, so you can stay connected to empathy without abandoning yourself.
Nervous-system recovery techniques
Your nervous system needs evidence that it's safe enough to soften. You'll learn small resets that fit into a shift, plus restorative practices you can repeat at home.
Boundaries that protect your energy
Practical language for boundaries, and limits you can hold without a complete career overhaul.
Sustainable nursing practice
Notice when your emotional bandwidth is slipping before you reach the point of numbness. Get clear on what you can control, what you need to communicate, and what you can no longer normalize.
Reconnecting with clarity, presence, and purpose
Patient experience starts with a nurse's capacity to be present. You'll reconnect with that presence and find your way back to why you started.
CEU Escape is an approved provider of continuing education by the California Board of Registered Nursing, CEP #18153.
Itinerary
After
On Sunday afternoon, you leave rejuvenated, and with practical tools to battle burnout and build resilience, as well as a 30-Day Recovery Plan that keeps the reset going after the weekend ends.
And you also leave more connected. The nurses beside you were carrying the same things you were. Now you know you're not the only one.
Your Facilitator
Teri Dart
RN, MSN Ed, CENI've spent 26 years in nursing, most of them in the Emergency Department, and later as an educator and nursing director. For years, I was the nurse leader who had all the answers. But behind the scenes, I was running on empty, teaching nurses how to care for patients while I had forgotten how to care for myself.
So I stepped away, did my own healing, and promised myself I would never let another nurse feel that alone. CEU Escape was born from that promise: a place to rest, recover, and earn CE hours in a way that actually feels healing.
I've been where you are. You don't have to leave nursing to save yourself. You just need to give yourself permission to breathe again.
