This shocking statement belies a sentiment that all too many nurses walk the earth feeling: that they must sacrifice everything for patients, even their health and peace of mind.
Martyrdom is a root cause of many nurses’ experiences of burnout and compassion fatigue. We must overcome such misguided views ..read more
