Many nurses try and stick it out at work even if they’re unhappy. After all, we’re resilient and tend to try to fix problems rather than run from them. Although we can rise to most challenges, jobs that sap us physically and emotionally are detrimental. The result is burnout and even physical illness. Could there be a better fit for your nursing career?

In the demanding world of nursing, where compassion and dedication know no bounds, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of neglecting oneself. Nurses are the unsung heroes, tirelessly tending to the needs of others, often at the expense of their own well-being.

These experts support nurses’ patient care delivery. Nursing care requires the science of informatics, but I hear far too many nurses say, “I just don’t understand technology.” Those who feel this way tend to avoid trying to use the technology that’s posing an issue, or they believe understanding how to use it isn’t necessary for them. I understand the frustration that comes with learning a new technology, especially over the past 3 years.
