with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning to say ―no‖ to extra
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. ―Going native‖ is the term that .

member at their place of employment. Withdrawing from peer support groups, ―going
v v v v v v v v v v v v




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