Summary
In this episode of How Coronavirus Saved My Life podcast, is my personal story of burnout as a nurse.
Burnout is real. Burnout is definitely real if you’re a healthcare worker. Then throw additional gasoline on burnout if you’re a nurse working in the pandemic. Double the gasoline if you’re a nurse working on a covid unit.
