Burnout is everywhere, and it has become a matter of patient safety. It’s no secret that nurses and healthcare professionals across the industry are burnt out. Nurses are feeling overworked and undervalued, and since the COVID-19 pandemic and the massive nursing shortage, it has only gotten worse. Nurse and nurse practitioner burnout is known to have a direct impact on the patient’s experience, and now it’s leading to more emergency department visits.
