Burnout is real—and it hits hard in dialysis. Whether you’re in acutes pulling long shifts with short staff or in chronics carrying the emotional weight of your patients’ lives week after week, burnout can sneak in and steal your joy, your energy, and even your sense of purpose.

In this video, we’re talking honestly about:

-The root causes of burnout in both acute and chronic settings

-How to create better work-life balance (and actually detach from work when you’re off the clock)

-The impact of staff turnover, training new people, and the snowball effect of burnout leading to more burnout

Why saying “I’m struggling” isn’t weakness—it’s strength and self-awareness

Whether you’re a new nurse or a seasoned one, this is your reminder: You are not alone, and your well-being matters. Let’s talk about how we support each other, how we protect our energy, and how we stay in this field without losing ourselves.
