“ St. John’s offers an incredible benefit to their staff: we can go to therapy for free with the counselor of our choice. Using this benefit has helped me manage this stress and I plan to stay at St. John’s until I retire. It helped me figure out the changes I need to make to continue in my nursing career.”
Burnout has had a long history in nursing. When COVID hit, it increased the burnout factor and added its own crazy stress. I have been an RN for 38 years and 25 of them have been at St. John’s. I have stuck through all the stressful changes and COVID. I have come to a point in my career that I am close to retirement and struggle more with the stress of working as an RN.
