I recently did a group project on a article written by Patricia Beech a retired RN called “the nurse is not for burning”. Patricia does a great job identifying certain aspects of a nurse’s life that will further burn him or her out and ways to prevent burnout. She identifies six major things causing burnout; everyone wants you, family and friends, sole carer, friendships, say no, and good health. As a nurse it is important that we become aware of the extra stressor not only in our work life but also in our personal life and find ways to prevent burnout. Many nurses put so much time into pleasing everyone else and taking care of everyone else that they forget the most important person themselves.
