      Not at all. I look forward to going to work every day.

      I experience mild dread when thinking about work.

      I have nightmares when I'm sleeping and I'm pretty tense lately.

      This is just too much. I'd leave the bedside if I didn't need the money.

      I'm a nervous wreck and it's making me hate nursing.

      Are you kidding? I'm toast, burnt to a crisp. But I have to work, so I keep on going.

You're a good nurse. You don't take it out on your patients.

But you recognize that nursing is a stressful job and that you and your colleagues could be in various stages of burning out.

So......how burned out are you?

After 22 years, I still love taking care of my patients, enjoy all the science and technology of ICU nursing, and my empathy and compassion remain intact. Staffing ratios and unreasonable workloads imposed on bedside caregivers are the source of my dread.
