Nurses Experiencing Career Burnout! Tip #3. Join a support network. You might have supportive colleagues, friends, or family members you can talk to. But for some nurses, the level of burnout requires the assistance of a professional. Many employers offer an Employee Assistance Program to help you resolve personal and work-related problems. Consider attending a conference to recharge and connect with fellow nurse colleagues. Take advantage of whatever services are available to you. #nursementalwellness #DNP #NP

Tips for avoiding nurse burnout: Tip #2: 2. Find a work-life balance. Consider reducing your workload or taking a vacation as ways to recover from burnout. You may need to limit interaction with people who leave you feeling drained, and delegate some tasks to other people, both at work and at home. Once you punch out, disconnect from work at home and on your days off. The bottom line is, “Don’t take your work home with you.”

Nurses Experiencing Career Burnout! Do you feel exhausted, anxious, physically ill, or dread the thought of going to work each day? If so, you may be experiencing burnout. Here are some tips that can help you overcome this chronic, stressful state and learn to thrive again. 1. Identify the source of the stress: Try to pinpoint the circumstances that are causing you to feel overwhelmed. Once you’ve identified what’s fueling your feelings of job burnout, you can make a plan to address the issues. If you have trouble recognizing the cause, try tracking your job responsibilities for a few days, and write down how you feel after you’ve done each activity. Tracking your feelings will help you concentrate your efforts on the areas that are truly quelling your passion for nursing. Check back here for weekly tips on how to overcome burnout. Visit the?American Psychological Association?for more resources on managing stress.
