After a burnout related melt down that ended up bringing some beautiful connection and conversation through social media, we decided to unpack some parts of burnout as nurses. We've both experienced burnout and how tough it can be to work through - especially when you don't want the only solution to be 'just don't be a nurse'. We talk about how, while we don't have the solution, there are some basic things you can do to protect yourself and help you move through burnout if this is something you are experiencing. This episode is a great one to share if you know a nursing colleague or friend who may need some kind words of support and advice too. After all, if we don't look after ourselves and our nursing besties, who will?Got a topic or question that you want answered on the podcast? Send them through to [email protected] or on Instagram directly to Nurse Sibs For the latest podcast news, be sure to follow @nursesibs on Instagram
