Thanks for the comments and suggestions. To clarify, this is what my director suggested, and I (staff nurse) am working with him to improve upon what he has already done. Neither of us are experts in nurse burnout, but we are trying to get suggestion...
Hi everyone, trying to get a little feedback on how you have improved nurse burnout in your work area. I work at a Veterans Hospital. This is primarily focusing on outpatient in a hospital setting. I am not sure EAP(Employee Assistance Program) is th...

I would strongly recommend you get a copy of the nurse pay scale for your va hospital and have them bring you in as a nurse 2 not a nurse 1. They may try to bring you in as Nurse 1 since you have an ADN. The VA pushes the BSN pretty strongly. Good lu...
I really like this idea and the effort the ANA is putting forward to help nurses be healthy healers. Nurses should lead by example, but unfortunately most are not doing that. I believe you are in control of your health and what happens to you. As nu...

Asheville is an expensive area in my opinion. I live in Charleston sc and go up there occasionally. You might try Greenville SC. It is a great place, strong economy, more affordable, and it has schools locally for advanced nursing degrees.

I am not a fan of this anti integrative/holistic/alternative/chiropractic medicine(calling it quackery) that many nurses on Allnurses seem to have as the first comment seems to convey. Honestly, I think the foundation of nursing was built on approach...

Hi Squirrely18, I understand some of the challenges you are facing and know it can be frustrating. I have done night shifts for half of my 10 year nursing career. There are many things you can do to rest through the night better. First thing I would ...
