Scary! I have not even started working as nurse and I read your posts on bed-side care burnout. I guess I am lucky to read them because I am conditioning my mind on what to expect. What I usually do when I get burnout with work, ( I was a certified public accountant and now I just finished my BSN and reviewing for the NCLEX now). I meditate and listen to Eckert Tolle's audiobook, "The Power of Now". Try that and let me know if that helps. I think it is more difficult if not impossible to change our environment that surrounds us, but how we look at our environment makes a big difference in dealing with it everyday. Peace!
