  • Why Burnout in the Nursing Profession is A Priority

    09/03/2018 Duration: 16min

    Burnout in the Nursing Profession is Not Yet A Priority Nursing burnout is still seen as a “soft” topic. How do we know that? Well, it is still a dilemma that organizations do not know what to do with. That and it is often bumped from the agenda. Think about it- what comes first? Hospital acquired infections? Fall rates? Suicide screening? Catheter acquired or central line infection rates? You know the drill. It is those things that we are measured on. The things that cost us money or hurt the organizational budget. Benchmarks that are tracked and then compared across organizations, counties, and even states. Nurse burnout gets bumped from meeting agendas. Resources such as time or money are not allocated to burnout. The nursing staff keeps working harder and the job continues to get tougher. What is a nurse to do? Nursing Burnout Meets Big Data  Organizational leaders and c-suite executive types speak in data. They prefer one page handouts, bulleted lists, and facts/figures. A lengthy, wonderfully written na

  • Insanity of Nursing Burnout: How to Break the Cycle

    02/03/2018 Duration: 19min

    Pushing Harder Does Not Help Nursing Burnout A challenge many of us as nurses face is the workaholic syndrome. In fact, I talk about this in my book and presentation, “Stop Nurse Burnout”. Being a workaholic as a nurse is a bit unique than any other profession. I will use my husband, Drew, as an example here. Drew is a heating and air-conditioning technician. He drives a big van, uses a lot of tools all day, and works with his hands. When Drew comes to the dinner table with me at the end of the work day, does he bring his hammer, level, or drill? Of course not! But as a nurse, this may or may not be the case. We teach patients using our voice. We turn, lift, clean, and fix with our hands. We empathize, advocate for, and care with our hearts. And- when you are a nurse, are you ever really “off”? Your family hears that you have graduated from nursing school. After the initial “congratulations” and celebrations wear off… then what comes next? The constant phone calls, texts, or emails saying, “Hey, you’re a nurs

A few take aways from our interview with Marie MacMillan include: How networking can be one of the best professional habits; What thanking yourself after work can do for your job satisfaction; And why every nurse has an important story to tell!

  • Nurse Burnout is Good for You

    23/02/2018 Duration: 14min

    3 Reasons Why Nurses Should Embrace Burnout To my own surprise, I actually had already written to this topic last year. In an article titled, “3 Reasons Why Nurses Should Embrace Burnout“, I provided the nurses reading with some of the reasons that burnout can actually support us nurses and the nursing profession overall. You can read the entire post, but just for a quick recap here… the 3 reasons are: Burnout helps you grow. Burnout allows you to help others. Burnout propels you to your passion. Pretty cool stuff, right? OK, so this post will not cover the above said reasons again. However, what I do want to share is some parts of my “Stop Nurse Burnout” book in order to help you understand that burnout really does have a highest and best use. Here’s more on how nursing burnout is good for you. Burnout Marks the Normal Transitions in Life It seems that people don’t often get their act together without burnout. Burnout marks the place where you have followed someone else’s path long enough that your body is

  • Nurse Burnout Statistics: Can We Measure and Evaluate It?

    16/02/2018 Duration: 14min

    The State of the Science While there is a lot of evidence related to physician burnout (e.g. the prevalence, rates, and consequences of), this is not the case in the nursing literature. Not that there are no articles related to nursing burnout. Trust me, there are many. But the issue relates more to the fact that the science does not tell us one story. In fact, the numbers are all over the place! Don’t believe me? Head over to PubMed or your favorite scholarly search engine and type in the term “nurse burnout prevalence” and see what you find. In one of my recent keynote talks, here are the studies I have on my prevalence slide: Oncology Nurses 21.5 % (Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing, 2010) Nurses in England 42% (BMC Nursing, 2011) ICU Nurses in Portugal 31% (BMC Anesthesiology, 2013) NICU Nurses 25.9% (BMJ Quality & Safety, 2014) Nurses in Mainland China 34.9% (Nursing & Health Sciences, 2015) Emergency Nurses 26% (International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2015) Nursing Homes in France 40% (Jou

  • What’s the Definition of Nurse Burnout?

    09/02/2018 Duration: 08min

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BURNOUT AND NORMAL STRESS? Stress is common. It’s a normal aspect of modern life. It’s nearly constant for a nurse on the job. With stress an ever-present condition for every practicing nurse, how can you tell the difference between the “normal” stress of practicing nursing and burnout? Before we get to that simple answer, let’s remember that stress is not always a bad thing. Without an appropriate amount of stress and challenge, the average human lapses into boredom and inactivity. The stress and responsibility of caring for patients is part of the motivation to do your best in every case. The perfectionism it inspires is a good thing for the patient. However, too much of that good thing is bad for the nurse. So, what is the difference between the normal stresses of the healthcare workplace and the syndrome of burnout? It’s really important that you and I get on the same page here in regards to this critical distinction. Burnout is not about what is happening to you. The differ

  • Putting a Band-Aid on Nurse Burnout?

    02/02/2018 Duration: 14min

    A Real Life Burnout Story I have interviewed dozens of nurses on the Your Next Shift nursing career podcast. Several guests have answered the “failure / lesson learned” question in a very similar way. When asked, they tell me… Elizabeth, I left a job because I was unhappy and experiencing burnout. And sadly, in a very short time (one interview guest said it was as short as 3 days!) I was just as miserable in my new job as I was in my old one. The guests of the Your Next Shift podcast each speak to a common theme.   You cannot fix #nurse #burnout simply by changing #nursing jobs.   Here is a specific example. A nurse working in the critical care area started to feel nurse burnout. She decided to make a change and move to procedural nursing. In just a few weeks time, she was just as unhappy (if not more so) in her new job. The nurse went back to her old unit in critical care, asking for her previous job back. Happily, she was able to get her old job. But this experience taught her that just changing practice

  • Expecting Others to Find Solutions for Burnout?

    26/01/2018 Duration: 16min

    Nursing Solutions for Burnout Got nurse burnout? And if you did or do, who do you expect to fix it? Your employer? Your boss? What solutions for burnout have you come up with up to this point? Sometimes when we have something happening in our life that we do not enjoy, we look all over the place for help. I can speak to this because I have done it myself. My Burnout Story I go into my nurse burnout story in my book, Stop Nurse Burnout, so I will not go into the FULL details here. However, just as an overview and how it pertains to this blog post... Yup, I am raising my hand here. Back when I was experiencing the most miserable point in my career- my all time low- I blamed everyone and anybody. I looked left, right, up, and down for other people to point fingers at. I wanted people to give me solutions for burnout. It was my hospital that did not care about me. My nurse manager who was unfair. The people I worked with did everything wrong. I was working on the most terrible nursing unit ever. And guess what? T
