Burnout in the healthcare profession is more than just feeling tired; it's the emotional and physical exhaustion that builds after countless long shifts, missed holidays, and the unrelenting pressure to do more with less. For nurses, respiratory therapists, and allied health professionals, this strain often comes at the cost of personal well-being and professional fulfillment.

Burnout is an all-too-familiar experience for nurses. Defined by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a diminished sense of personal accomplishment, nurse burnout often stems from long shifts, staffing shortages, and the nonstop emotional demands of caring for others.
