I'm a new nurse and I feel like I need to say "yes" everything that is sent my way (shift changes, additional duties, extra hours, etc) I want to look good for my new supervisors and I want my coworkers to like me.

How can I say no? Should I say no??

I always work really hard at everything I do. But it's only been 4 months and I am TIRED from all the extra things i've been doing for my coworkers and other hospital staff.

I have a family full of first responders, and nurses and seeing that they're considering leaving the field because of burnout makes me sad. Especially knowing how hard it was to get into the field to begin with. #burnout #nurses

I think it's understandable under these circumstances. I hope they know how much they are appreciated. It's unfair to ask so much from the medical field or anyone. The fact is that there are many frontliners out there feeling like they've been thrown under the bus and nobody cares. I don't blame them. They are making a difference but it's taking a toll. The trick is to know when it's taking too much and get out safe.

I just recently lost my oldest brother in a car crash January the 8th of 2016 . We were very close... One of the things I miss most is his laughter.. He was killed on Joplin RD in Triangle Virginia . He was also burned beyond recognition . I am struggling with my Faith at times ... I have become anxious. There are times that I don't want to leave the house.. I placed myself in this shell ever since I found out... All I want to do is sleep . How do you pick yourself up from grieving and living a normal day to day life again . I can not hold a job like this. I also work with children. The most stressful age groups for me would be preschool at the moment . I use to enjoy it but after everything that has happened I feel so tired . It has taken a lot out of me managing challenging behaviors every single day when I am barely taking care of myself. I know we have all lost someone or faced a tragic situation at one point in our lives.. I am taking it one day at a time ... I am just curious about some of the experiences you have faced and how you managed to pick yourself back up.. I am looking for only positive feedback please ...

I’m burned out from all these job applications. Anyone know how to turn a Job Application into a JOB without pestering companies to hire me?

I guess its official... I'm old. 51.. just got turned down from a job that i have experience in... what's left... can't pay rent. Be on the streets in two weeks... can't sleep...When i do, if i don't wake up. It'll be ok with me... that's just how i feel. I remember when you can walk into an establishment and show them what you know. Now everything is done via internet. Its a shame.. all this experience i have. And can't land a job... what happens to me now...dunno what to do but lay down and hope not to wake.
