Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Nursing, Second Edition

Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Nursing is for all nurses, but especially those who suffer from one of more of the following issues: job dissatisfaction, compassion fatigue, moral distress, or burnout. Many nurses who choose to go back to school may suffer from some degree of compassion fatigue/burnout, and not even know it. Despite the research-based aspect of this resource, the presentation is very personal, as the author starts by sharing a time when she considered leaving the profession, and how she regained the enthusiasm needed to continue as a nurse. Told from a first-person perspective, the work is based on research and is designed to provide practical steps for the nurse or nurses reading the book.
