The Leadership Lounge
Ever wondered what it really feels like to attend a CEU Escape retreat? It’s more than CE’s and palm trees—it’s a leadership reset. From the moment guests arrive, the energy shifts. Laughter replaces tension. Clarity replaces burnout. In this post, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes look at the magic, momentum, and meaningful moments that make our retreats unforgettable.
CEU Escape Resources for Nurses
Welcome to the CEU Escape Blog — your trusted resource for nurse-specific continuing education, leadership development, and restorative learning. Here you’ll find clear answers to the most common questions nurses ask about CE requirements, professional growth, and how to make continuing education feel energizing instead of routine.
How Many CE Hours Do Nurses Need in California?
Registered Nurses (RNs) in California must complete 30 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years to renew their license. These hours must come from a provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN). CEU Escape — Accredited Nursing Continuing Education Provider BRN CEP #18153 — offers both online courses and immersive retreats that fulfill these requirements while supporting your personal and professional renewal.
What Are the Benefits of Nurse Leadership Retreats?
Our accredited retreats combine CEUs with immersive, reflective experiences in supportive environments. Benefits include:
Renewed clarity and purpose
Practical leadership skills and emotional intelligence
Peer connection with like-minded nurse professionals
Recovery from burnout in calming, natural settings
Each retreat is designed to support both career advancement and personal transformation.
Can CEU Escape Courses Count Toward My License Renewal?
Yes. All CEU Escape programs — online courses and retreats — are accredited and fulfill state licensure requirements, including for nurses in California, Texas, Florida, and more. Always verify your state’s current CEU requirements before registering.
What Makes CEU Escape Different?
Typical online CE hours focus only on content delivery. CEU Escape blends:
Flexible online courses with interactive, self-paced modules
Live, in-person retreats taught by expert nurse educators
Workshop-style learning with real-world application
Scenic, distraction-free environments for better retention
Built-in wellness, rest, and connection
It’s not just credits — it’s career growth and personal renewal.
How Do I Know If CEU Escape Is Right for Me?
You may be a great fit if:
You’re feeling stretched, stuck, or professionally unfulfilled
You want leadership skills, not just license renewal
You miss connecting deeply with other nurses
You want CE hours that feel energizing, not draining
From Exhaustion to Empowerment: A Nurse’s Journey of Renewal
Burnout wasn’t the end of my leadership journey—it was the beginning of something bold. In this post, I share the personal turning point that led me to create CEU Escape: a retreat experience designed to help nurse leaders recharge, reconnect, and rise. If you’ve ever felt the weight of leadership, this one’s for you.
A personal reflection on reclaiming joy, purpose, and leadership through accredited continuing education — online and in retreat settings.
There was a moment—somewhere between the endless emails, the late-night charting, and the weight of always being “on”—when I realized I was running on fumes. I had built a career I was proud of, led teams I loved, and poured myself into every Continuing Education (CE) course, every leadership role, every opportunity to grow. But somewhere along the way, I stopped feeling lit up by it.
I wasn’t broken. I was burnt out.
The Turning Point
I didn’t need another webinar or a checklist on resilience. I needed space. I needed sun. I needed to remember who I was outside of the scrubs and spreadsheets. That’s when the idea sparked:
What if continuing education could feel restorative? What if nurse leaders could earn accredited CEUs while reconnecting with themselves—whether on a beach, in community, or even from the comfort of home?
The Vision
CEU Escape was born from that question. As an Accredited Nursing Continuing Education Provider BRN CEP #18153, I wanted to create something immersive, playful, and purposeful. A space where nurse leaders could:
Earn CEUs through online courses or retreats that inspire growth
Connect with others who truly understand the nursing journey
Step away from the grind and into renewal
Feel seen, celebrated, and recharged
Not just a vacation. Not just a conference. Something in between—something better.
The Shift
Building CEU Escape has been its own kind of leadership journey. It’s reminded me that:
Leadership isn’t just about showing up for others—it’s about showing up for yourself
Burnout isn’t a failure—it’s a signal
Joy is a strategy, not a luxury
This blog, Leadership Lounge, is an extension of that vision. A place to share stories, spark ideas, and remind nurse leaders that they deserve more than survival. They deserve empowerment.
Call to Action
If you’ve felt the burnout creeping in, know this: you’re not alone. And you don’t have to wait for permission to pause, reflect, and rise.
Join me. Let’s lead with heart—and escape with purpose.

Rethinking Nurse Leadership Education
Most CE’s feel like a checkbox—but nurse leaders deserve more. In this post, I share how CEU Escape reimagines continuing education as a transformational experience. From emotionally resonant topics to immersive delivery, our retreats offer CE’s that spark growth, clarity, and real leadership breakthroughs.
Let’s be honest: most Continuing Education (CE) feels like a chore. You log in, click through slides, answer a few questions, and move on. But for nurse leaders navigating burnout, team dynamics, and career pivots, that kind of surface-level learning just doesn’t cut it.
When I created CEU Escape, I knew the CE experience had to be different. It had to be:
Emotionally resonant
Leadership-focused
Rooted in real-world challenges
Delivered in a way that actually lights you up
What Inspiring CE Looks Like
At CEU Escape, CE isn’t just educational—it’s transformational. As an Accredited Nursing Continuing Education Provider BRN CEP #18153, we design both immersive retreats and flexible online courses that:
Spark self-reflection and emotional intelligence
Offer tools for boundary-setting, delegation, and team culture
Invite storytelling, laughter, and honest dialogue
Connect leadership theory to lived experience
You won’t find generic PowerPoints or passive lectures. You’ll find interactive workshops, beachside journaling, and online modules that feel restorative and relevant—whether you’re learning under palm trees or from the comfort of home.
Why It Matters
Nurse leaders are the heartbeat of healthcare. But too often, leadership development feels disconnected from the realities of the role. By reimagining CE as immersive, joyful, and deeply relevant, we’re not just checking a box—we’re changing the game.
Because when leaders feel inspired, teams thrive.
My Philosophy
“CE should feel like a breakthrough—not a checkbox. It should remind you why you lead.”
That’s the energy we bring to every retreat and every online course. And it’s the energy I hope this blog carries forward.

Behind the Scenes: What a CEU Escape Retreat Actually Feels Like
CEU Escape retreats are more than CE’s and sunsets—they’re a full-body leadership reset. In this post, I’m sharing what it really feels like to host one: the energy shift when guests arrive, the soul-stirring CE sessions, and the quiet moments that spark big breakthroughs. If you’ve ever craved space to lead with clarity and joy, this is your glimpse behind the scenes.
When I first imagined CEU Escape, I knew it had to be more than a beautiful location with a few Continuing Education (CE) hours tacked on. I wanted it to feel immersive, intentional, and unforgettable. And now, after hosting multiple nurse leadership retreats and launching accredited online nursing CE courses, I can confidently say: it’s all that—and more.
Arrival Energy: From Tension to Transformation
Guests arrive carrying more than luggage. They bring stress, questions, and the weight of leadership. But within hours, something shifts:
Shoulders drop
Laughter bubbles up
Conversations deepen
The welcome dinner isn’t just a meal—it’s a moment. It’s where strangers become allies, and the retreat begins to work its magic.
CE with Soul
At CEU Escape, CE isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about sparking breakthroughs. As an Accredited Nursing Continuing Education Provider BRN CEP #18153, we design both retreats and online courses that dive into topics like:
Emotional intelligence in leadership
Boundaries and burnout recovery
Leading with authenticity
Reconnecting with your “why”
And we do it in spaces that feel safe, scenic, and soul-nourishing—whether it’s a breezy conference room overlooking the ocean or an interactive online classroom you can join from home.
The In-Between Moments
Some of the most powerful shifts happen outside the sessions:
Morning journaling with coffee and ocean breeze
Poolside chats that turn into mentorship moments
Quiet walks where clarity finally clicks
These aren’t extras. They’re essential. Because leadership isn’t just learned—it’s lived.
My Favorite Part
“Watching a nurse leader go from exhausted to energized in just a few days? That’s why I do this.”
Every retreat and online course reminds me that when we create space for renewal, we create space for transformation. And that’s what CEU Escape is all about.
