Hi this is my comment today I have stepped away from my nursing role for a while as I feel the stress and tension in nursing today is not worth the physical and mental anguish it causes. And being under this constant stress and management’s expectations so they can achieve there financial outcomes is becoming just a nightmare. The union should look into the the level of nurses who are still working but are operating in burnt out mode and then just see how managers deal with burnout in their facilities. You will find a nurse who has burnt out will be seen by management as one who is underperforming and put on a management improvement plan and at the end of the plan have not improved because the burnout has been ignored by management the nurse ends up feeling discouraged and useless and leaves nursing. A lot of excellent nurses have left because of burnout which management refuse to acknowledge. They are more interested in the bottom line than their staff’s well being.
