Warning Signs of Nursing Burnout

Burnout is among the most common causes of the high turnover rate for healthcare professionals like nurses. It increases the risk of resignation by causing fatigue, stress, compassion fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Here are a few warning signs of nursing burnout to look out for:

• Emotional and Physical Exhaustion
  Exhaustion is one of the most common signs of burnout in nurses. They may feel physically drained and emotionally depleted due to feelings of burnout, affecting the level of medical assistance they can provide to their patients.
• Emotional Detachment
  Burnout can cause compassion fatigue, causing them to develop negative feelings towards their patients, work, and colleagues. We offer healthcare staffing in Waltham, Massachusetts, to help fill temporary vacancies, allowing your nurses to take a break from their duties and prevent burnout.
• Sleeping and Eating Problems
  Feelings of burnout can discourage nurses from taking proper care of themselves, resulting in physical symptoms affecting sleep, diet, and other self-care activities. Common indicators include skipping meals, insomnia, and sleeping too much. We offer home health care in Massachusetts to connect you with healthcare professionals to fill your care teams.
