  • Summary

  • The burnout in this country is real — and the strain is putting many of us in the ER. Once we get there, we’re often greeted by burned-out medical professionals. How do we make it all stop? Nurses are often accused of “compassion fatigue” for not always being “nice” to patients, but Nashia insists that’s not it — and the research backs her. Michael Leiter, co-author of “The Burnout Challenge” affirms our suspicions by telling us that it’s not so much about working on our individual coping mechanisms for unrealistic workloads, it’s about changing our workplaces themselves.
