ANSWER: A pg


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


priorities with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


to say “no” to extra shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout.
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


“Going native” is the term that . describes how recent graduates begin to copy and
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


identify the reality of theirrole-transition experience by rejecting the values from
pg pg pg pg pg g
p pg pg pg pg pg pg


nursing school and functioning more like a team member at their place of
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg



employment. Withdrawing from peer support groups, “going native,” . and changing
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg



jobs every 6 to 12 months would increase the chance of the nurse experiencing
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg



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


fromother nurses.
