Description
When you are in direct patient care, experiencing burnout, trauma, or not feeling valued for who you are, you begin to disassociate and disconnect from your work. That is dangerous, unhealthy, and not why you entered the profession. Most nurses have not been allowed to identify the trauma they have experienced at work or consider how secondary trauma impacts them in and outside direct patient care. This presentation discusses your primary concerns regarding protecting your mental and physical health while protecting your license.
