Did you know that #burnout is in fact a #workplace related condition & not an #illness but the only way to get rest and the needed time off is to be booked off on #sickleave #ICURN #patientsafety

I need to reiterate that #burnout is a workplace syndrome As presented by Dr Y Mohangi

#burnout is a workplace condition and did you know it can take up to three years to fully recover #ICURN #patientsafety

Why is it in 2026 #women in #nursing are still putting each other down? #jealous of others achievements and #knowledge We need to #support each other to be able to stand up for what is right Not be a house divided #ICURN #patientsafety

Let’s talk names I am a #professional who studied for up to 10 years. Just like my #doctor colleagues We are #interdependent #nurses have their own council If I MUST call the Dr Surname, then I insist on being called Sr Booth (As insisted on by the UM of the HC facility)

In the society where I working, we have a lot of moms who need shortened hours. But because the facility can’t #retain staff they refuse & threaten to stop shortened hours posts. They are willing to ‘loose’ experienced & qualified #ICURN instead of keeping them #patientsafety

#nursepatient ratios in SA need to be regulated as the are starting to be done in some states of America Not only does it place the #patient at risk but I cause untold #harm and #trauma to the #nurses trying their best to provide adequate care #moralinjury #ICURN #patientsafety

I’m a millennial & currently struggling with #burnout & #worklife balance imagine my reaction when I got told I can’t work less hours #GenZ aren’t apply for jobs because they want less hours & work life balance #WTF at the company I work at?! Review your recruitment ideas guys!

#crazysock4docs day If only the company, maybe more the hospital, I work for would take it a little bit more seriously we would all feel safer A happy safe nurse = a happy safe patient #ptsd #anxiety #mentalhealthmatters #patientsafety
