Findings by LeAnn Thieman A recent study by the International Council of Nurses found that burnout rates in nursing were 40 percent before the pandemic, and now the figure has grown to 70 percent.

It was about 2010, and I was facilitating a discussion about the mental health impacts of climate change with my pre-licensure nursing students.
