During Nurses Week, there’s often a mix of emotions.

Sometimes it feels validating and appreciated. Other times, it can feel like pizza parties and tote bags are being used to cover up very real struggles nurses face every day.

In this episode of The Nurses' Breakroom with Jenny Lytle, RN, Jenny talks about one of the most common things she’s hearing from nurses right now:

“I’m always behind and trying to catch up.”

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

Jenny shares:

•  Why so many nurses feel like they can never catch up 
•  How burnout happens slowly over time 
•  Why “it’ll get better soon” often doesn’t work 
•  What reclaiming your evenings could actually look like 
•  How burnout can feel even heavier when you truly love hospice work 
•  Why intentional, personalized stress relief matters 

Jenny also opens up about her own hospice burnout journey and how slowly the work she once loved began to feel overwhelming.

If you’ve been charting late, struggling to disconnect from work, feeling exhausted, or wondering why nursing feels so much harder than it used to — this episode is for you.

Reflection Question

If you finished work on time, had your charting done, and could fully enjoy your evening… what would that change for you?

Reminder

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s essential if we want to continue caring for others and living our best lives.
