Real World NP

How to Manage Nurse Practitioner Stress, Burnout and Compassion Fatigue


Listen Later

The transition from RN to NP is TOUGH. It's exhausting, stressful, but oh so worth it.


We need to be careful, though, because too much stress and not enough strategic prevention can lead to burnout and something called compassion fatigue, which can fizzle out our drive and passion-- and worse, may even lead to leaving the profession altogether.


In this episode, I'm covering:

- The risk factors, signs and symptoms of stress, burnout and compassion fatigue (it's not necessarily what you think)

- How to know if you're having any of these (or all three)

- And what to do about it (prevention AND treatment).
