Discussion Post: Nurse Burnout & Stress
Nursing is a job that is physically and mentally taxing. It requires focus and attention. (It is also extremely rewarding!) As with all thing there are extremes that need balance.
The NCSBN conducted research to identify the personal and professional characteristics of nurses experiencing heightened workplace burnout and stress.
Step I: Read the article attached below
Step II: Formulate a professional, well thought out post answering the following questions:
Question 1. Describe something that came from the research.
Question 2. As a profession, what can we do going forward to make positive changes in nursing? (This must be supported by a research article)
Question 3. What effective health practices do you plan to do for yourself, as you begin your nursing career to reduce stress and hopefully prevent burnout?
Question 4. How might this affect patient care and ultimately outcomes?
