Empowering Nurses: Building Compassion Fatigue Resilience Through Hope

Nurses are the backbone of patient care, but the emotional toll of the job can lead to compassion fatigue. Margaret Daneyko, VP of Nursing and Clinical Services at RMA of New York, shares her insights on how nurses can rediscover hope, set boundaries, and find balance while continuing to provide compassionate care.

💙 Key Takeaways:
✅ Recognizing Compassion Fatigue: When nurses give so much empathy, they can start to struggle and feel depleted—leading to burnout and detachment.
✅ The Ripple Effect: Patients rely on nurses for support, and when burnout sets in, it affects not only the nurses but also the patients who need them most.
✅ Practical Strategies for Resilience:
🔹 Put yourself in the patient’s shoes—how would you want to receive difficult news?
🔹 Take breaks, step away, and prioritize self-care and boundaries.
🔹 Remember why you became a nurse—it’s not just a task, it’s about making a difference, even in small ways.
