Introduction:Burnout among nurses is no longer just a concern—it’s a crisis. Nurses are physically exhausted, emotionally drained, and mentally overwhelmed. As staffing shortages grow, the pressure to keep going never stops. But we have to ask: at what cost? 1. What’s Fueling the Burnout? Understaffing in hospitals and clinics Mandatory overtime and skipped breaks Emotional labor from patient loss or trauma 2. The Real Impact on Nurses Increased anxiety, depression, and even PTSD High turnover and early retirement Disconnection from the passion that brought them to nursing 3. What Nurses Are Demanding Now Better nurse-patient ratios Mental health resources on the job A culture shift that values people over profit Faith Reflection:Jesus often retreated to rest and prayer—even amidst crowds.
