ANSWER: A kk


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



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


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



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



identify the reality of theirrole-transition experience by rejecting the values from
kk kk kk kk kk k kk kk kk kk kk kk


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



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



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



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



fromother nurses.
