  • HNTKYP: Burnout
    Feb 8 2024

    This episode of HNTKYP takes a no-holds-barred look at burnout among emergency nurses, and it's not for the faint of heart. We're getting real about the brutal reality of the emergency department, where the relentless pressure cooks even the toughest among us. We talk about how burnout not only affects the nurse, but the team and most importantly the patient. It's a deep dive into the dark side of nursing, where stress isn't just a part of the job—it's the job. But it's not all doom and gloom; we're also tackling how to fight back, recognize the warning signs, and protect both our patients and our sanity.
