I couldn’t find the date, I’m assuming this is an old article. Frankly I find it infuriating to read for a number of reasons. 1) Stating a known problem with no tangible solutions 2) only potential vague solution mentioned is the government which the payment structure of the healthcare system is the core problem as nurses are looked at as the largest expense 3) blaming a virus an circumventing the core issue of how nurses are treated by the system. 4) still had to throw in ‘anti-Vaccers’ being a problem when in reality we know the ‘vaccine’ had greater risks than benefits (plus you can’t vaccinate out of a replicating virus - frankly we are very lucky it fizzled out an didn’t become stronger) 5) talking about fear of us spreading it when the reality is the media instilled so much fear most of us were disinvited from Family events. I could go on about how terrible anyone was treated including the legal battles and being let go for not taking the ‘vaccine’ (your rights being taken away). Nurses that ended up in the ER after one dose and were forced to get a second or termination. Perioperatve staff at many hospitals were placed on leave without pay since surgeries weren’t going on and the staff let go after the first wave because the system is all about money. This article makes it clear to me the originations and governing bodies are not looking out to support nurses.

Are you able to share your source? I haven’t heard of that statistic before however it does shed a light as to why we have so many issues as a profession.

@Mary Alexander sure! I am happy to share the link!

@Ginger Branson I love this and yes we should be showing appreciation for each other as a team!

I absolutely love this quote!!

@Ginger Branson you absolutely correct when you say what may work for some may not work for another. The core of burnout is nervous system disregulation. By the time you are in burnout your body has been in the sympathetic state for so long you are going into the dorsal: immobilization energy. It’s learning and recognizing what state your body is in, trying what works best for you and doing it consistently enough to bring yourself back into regulation and build your capacity.
