  1. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    I LOVE THE QUOTES!!!! Hopefully we'll get a few more before closing our session....:roll :roll
  2. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    It has been very interesting reading the different postings. I think it is pretty clear that we're all in agreement that nursing can be stressful and the the shortage of nurses and educators is one of the main reasons. For this last week I thought ...
  3. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    Week 2 was about support systems and it appears that most everyone agrees that it's sometimes harder to talk about work related things with people who are not familiar with nursing. I also touched on different avenues to reduce stress. This week we...
  4. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    Does anyone use extra hobbies or exercise as a form of stress relief or are those things that you just enjoy doing and do them just because? For example - I exercise to stay in shape, I don't often feel "less stressed" about life or work when I'm do...
  5. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    Support systems are so different for each person. I agree that it might be harder to find a good system outside of work when someone works the night shift -- I really hadn't thought about that (ignorance on my part....) I also agree that sometimes i...
  6. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    Rather then start a new thread I've decided to summarize this past week's discussion and then post the question for week 2. During the last week it was pointed out that the nursing shortage is felt by almost everyone and that recognition programs a...
  7. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    Like I mentioned earlier it seems that there's a huge discrepency from unit to unit.... I do think that retaining nurses would make a huge difference in the "shortage" discussed. I also think that maybe pediatrics doesn't see a shortage as often as...
  8. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    There have been some great points -- like the idea of a recognition program being in place for length of stay. I think 5 years is a pretty long time to go between each ceremony, but again -- rewards usually equal more money which isn't always availa...
  9. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    you make a good point about the patient load -- i have seen places that focus on a pt to nurse ratio but the acuity levels are ignored -- or the acuity levels are completed to fill a square..... do you think there's any way to get the more experienc...
  10. Pediatric Nursing - STress and Burnout (1)

    Hello - I am a graduate nurse conducting a study on the impact of using an on-line support system to decrease stress and burnout among pediatric nurses in the state of Arizona. I am using the Maslach Burnout Inventory scale to measure pre and post l...
  11. Pediatric Nursing - Stress and Burnout (1)

    that's a great point -- do you think there's a way to reward those who stay in one place and are committed? or do you think we will continue to see the financial benefits go to travelers and those who are per diem?
  12. Pediatric Nursing - Stress and Burnout (1)

    Hi everyone -- When you have a chance take a few minutes and introduce yourself to the rest of the group. Some information you might like to share could include years in nursing, type of nursing currently working in or interested in, and family stru...
