Part 2 of Burnout and Healthcare

In my last blog, I talked about burnout in healthcare and why self-care alone isn’t enough to fix it. Vacations, workouts, massages, and time away can absolutely help, but they don’t change what you’re walking back into when you return to work.

I also talked about boundaries and how important they are in protecting ourselves from burnout. But before we can know what boundaries we need, we have to understand what is actually draining us.

That starts with getting curious.

Burnout and healthcare seem to go hand in hand. If you work in healthcare, you've probably heard the same message over and over: Prevent burnout by practicing self-care.

While vacations, workouts, and massages are absolutely helpful, they're often a Band-Aid solution to a much deeper issue.
