Nurses are told to “suck it up, buttercup” after walking through fire to care for their patients under unsafe & unfair circumstances🤨 Your safety should never be a threat in your professional environment. Especially if you're in the business of health & care. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. The healthcare system has siphoned off the wellness of nurses and repeatedly threatens their safety. They follow up by minimizing, gaslighting, & blaming nurses for their own inadequacies. This is why our nurses are suffering and it’s unacceptable. Thankfully, I have a solution🍀 I invite you to attend my virtual Masterclass that offers free training on how to recover from nurse-specific trauma & ways to insulate yourself from the broken system. Drop “MASTERCLASS” in the comments & I’ll send you the link to enroll👊🏼 Your support & engagement are greatly appreciated as we strive to create a sustainable & supportive healthcare environment.

If only it were as simple to have a healthcare system that values & supports its nurses❤️🩹 In the latest podcast episode, I highlight one of the key factors contributing to the insufficient staffing in our hospitals. Avoidable nurse-specific traumatization… not only does it affect the mental and emotional wellbeing of most nurses but it also contributes to high turnover rates & a shortage of nurses willing to work in unsafe settings. By addressing and understanding the critical issue, we can work towards a healthcare system that values and supports its nurses, ultimately leading to better outcomes for both nurses and patients🙌🏼 I encourage you to tune into this episode at drlorrelaws.com Link in bio! Join us as we explore ways to enhance nurse staffing for optimal nurse and patient care #NotJustBurnout #NursePTSDAwareness #HealNurseTrauma https://lnkd.in/g_Jq9pF7

In other words, it’s not your fault and it’s probably not just burnout📣 The prevalence & exposure to these avoidable nurse-specific traumas is why nurses are in fear & leaving the profession in mass exodus. Nurse-specific trauma is the root cause of our current global health emergency & could also explain the suffering you may be experiencing in your role.

POV: Everyone keeps telling you it’s nurse burnout when it’s really nurse-specific traumatization🤯 Drop “ASSESSMENT” to uncover the truth of your symptoms! If you’re a nurse, the chances that you’ve felt detached, utterly exhausted, or beyond overwhelmed is high. The truth is, it’s most likely not because you’re just burnt out like you keep hearing🤡 We tell people experiencing burnout to “build more resilience” & “practice more self-care”. These statements & suggestions are more dismissive than they are effective. Trauma symptoms frequently hide under the guise of burnout. And 83% of our nurses report suffering from these symptoms (and more). What’s occurring below the surface is NOT burnout, it’s nurse-specific traumatization🚨 And I’m here to help! Drop “ASSESSMENT” in the comments & I’ll send you a link to a quick self-assessment to uncover the truth of your symptoms.
