How can nurses manage emotional demands in their jobs and day-to-day lives and not fall prey to expectations to be ‘endlessly resilient’ in the face of challenging working conditions?

Nurse educator and researcher Charlotte Ross outlines practical strategies nurses can use to manage what she describes as ‘emotional labour’ in the workplace in this latest episode of the Nursing Standard podcast.

Dr Ross discusses the importance of keeping work and private lives separate, learning to understand moral distress and recognising small victories, as well as what nurses’ teams and organisations should be doing to offer support.
