244/ 5 Signs of Nurse Burnout You've Mistaken for Just Being a Good Nurse

from Beat Nurse Burnout | Holistic Wellness, Stress, Burnout Recovery, Fatigue, Identity, Healing · host Shan Wright | Nurse Life Coach, Stress Expert, Christian Mom Mentor, Holistic Nurse, Speaker

You can assess a whole unit in thirty seconds... but when's the last time you assessed yourself? In this episode, I'm breaking down the five signs of nurse burnout that don't look like burnout at all. They look like being reliable. Being the strong one. Being a good nurse. And that's exactly why so many of us miss them, or catch them years too late. If you've ever wondered whether you're actually burned out, or if you're the nurse who's so deep in autopilot you haven't even stopped to ask... friend, this one's for you. In this episode, we cover: The 3 lies keeping high-functioning nurses stuck (starting with "I just need to push through") Sign 1: you can assess everyone's needs except your own Sign 2: your default answer is yes, and no comes with guilt attached Sign 3: you're exhausted but rest feels like a threat, not a relief Sign 4: what chronic stress is actually doing to your body at the cellular level Sign 5: the calling you had before your first preceptor told you to toughen up Loved this episode?
