Burnout and Mental Illness: The Silent Epidemic of Healthcare Workers | What Can We Do?

Healthcare employees are not OK. I would venture to say that most feel burnt out, mentally unwell, and exhausted. Headlines are constantly showing how people are fleeing the healthcare profession faster than schools can replace them. But no work is being done to address the underlying reason for these concerns. Today we talk about Burnout in healthcare, and mental illness in healthcare. Who is the most affected by mental illness in healthcare? What does burnout look like? And what can you do to help identify, and proactively avoid some of these symptoms.

I started this channel because I wanted other working moms, nurses, nurse practitioner students, nursing students, and whoever else to know that you CAN do school, life and work! I'd love to hear your stories of how you combine your personal interests with your family life! You are doing great things, and I hope you remember that!

As Covid Vaccine mandates become more popular, I have a few thoughts as to what is ethically the right move here. Covid vaccination decreases spread of illness, and will decrease likelihood of transmission to patients. However the vaccine mandate may cause more nurses to leave already short staffed units, making working conditions more unsafe. And costing more lives in the end.
