3. A nurse is trying to avoid burnout. Which of the following actions is a valid way to achieve
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e


ethis?
a. Refusing to constantly work extra shifts e e e e e .

b. Withdrawing from peer support group e e e e


c. “Going native” e


d. Changing jobs every 6 to 12 months . e e e e e e e




ANSWER: A e


One of the quickest ways to experience burnout is to “overwork the overtime.” Set priorities
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e


with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning to say “no” to extra
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e


shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. “Going native” is the term that .
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e


describes how recent graduates begin to copy and identify the reality of their role-transition
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e


experience by rejecting the values from nursing school and functioning more like a team
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e


member at their place of employment. Withdrawing from peer support groups, “going
e e e e e e e e e e e e


native,” . and changing jobs every 6 to 12 months would increase the chance of the nurse
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e


experiencing
e


burnout. The nurse should instead focus on his/her practice and seek out support from
e e e e e e e e e e e e e


eother nurses. e
