Abstract
Burnout is costly to the employees who experience it, their employers, and their patients. Individuals who leave nursing waste their education; those who stay pay a psychological price. The organization loses talent and gains poor performance from its employees. Patients lose quality care. As a health professional, listen to your body and mind, become aware of the danger signals, and acknowledge your feelings. Burnout, if diagnosed, can be diminished through careful planning, intervention, and evaluation of your personal and professional life.Keywords
