ANSWER: A v




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




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 .
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




describes how recent graduates begin to copy and identify the reality of theirrole-transition
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




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




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
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




experiencing
v




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




other nurses.
