Preventing Nurse Burnout: Essential Strategies for Sustaining Well-being in the Healthcare Profession

There is an epidemic of burnout among nurses, especially in the ED. Learn what you can do to combat burnout and restore passion to your bedside job in my new blog post. #nursewriter #healthwriter #burnout #emergencydepartment

Today, I encountered a situation that, unfortunately, has become all too common in our field. I received an urgent call from a healthcare professional desperately searching for a spot in a nursing home for someone in grave danger at home. This scenario is not isolated, although each case is unique. An emergency admission is far more than just a procedure. It’s where we gather the individual’s wishes for their life and care. A complex process involving caregivers, nurses, doctors, pharmacists, cooks, service agents, activity coordinators, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and many other specialists. Each one plays a crucial role in preparing the resident's arrival, assessing their abilities, preventing restraints, and ensuring respectful and dignified care. But this mission is anything but simple. We must ensure that we don't overwhelm our already exhausted teams, who are facing an unprecedented shortage of staff. Their well-being is vital, as it directly impacts the quality of care we can provide. And then there’s the immense mental burden on the director, who must decide whether to admit this person and potentially save their life… or refuse, with all the implications that decision carries. It shouldn’t be like this. We shouldn’t have to wait until situations become urgent or critical to act. Proactive care and earlier interventions are essential for preserving the dignity and safety of those we serve. These are weighty decisions, reminding us every day of the importance of our commitment and the complexity of our work. #Healthcare #ElderCare #NursingHome #MedicalCoordination #PatientCare #CareTeams #MentalHealth #HealthcareWorkers #EmergencyAdmission #LeadershipInHealthcare #CompassionateCare

Finding a nurse practitioner

Hi, connections A Healthy nurse takes care of their personal health, safety, and wellness and lives life to their fullest capacity. A Healthy Nurse™ is a better role model, educator, and advocate – personally, for the family, for the community, for the work environment, and for the patient. However, nurses struggle with health and wellness. Stress, work shift demands, lack of rest, unhealthy diets, and poor exercise practices have contributed to a growing and serious issue for the profession, nurses themselves – and even their patients. The Foundation has prioritised helping nurses be healthier. We are proud funders of the free nurse wellness program Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation™ HNHNworks to improve the nation's health - one nurse at a time. Connecting and engaging nurses, employers, organizations, and schools of nursing, focuses on five domains: physical activity, sleep, nutrition, quality of life, and safety. This web platform and social media inspire healthy action, friendly competition, and provide content and resources. HNHNalso gathers data to identify trends and needs in nurse health, safety, and wellness #snsinstitution #snsdesignthinking #snsdesignthinkers
