      Overcoming burnout

      In studying the impact of past pandemics, the additional stress and other related factors has been shown to increase burnout among nurses and other healthcare providers. Prior to the pandemic though, the level of nurses experiencing some degree of burnout was already 40 to 50%!

In addition, we will identify how to spot some of those behavioral changes and share strategies to mitigate the impact of this pandemic on nursing burnout.
