Thank you, Elizabeth Scala, host of the ‘Your Next Shift’ podcast!
Thank you for sharing your experiences of finding growth in the “setbacks” and how you do that with goals and prioritizing them. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a taste of our own medicine 🙂
Also thank you for being a change agent, identifying the staffing needs and creating a solution to the problem. In my past experience working acute care, I have been there working that extra long shift and agreeing one to many times to “pick up extra”. Doing so ultimately resulted in my personal burnout. Learning how to identify, prevent, and overcome burnout are critical lessons to learn as a nurse.
Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your own experiences as well as the experiences of others so that we all can learn. These discussions help me and I’m sure others to not feel like we are alone in these types of situations.
