@probably.stephanie: it's not burnout. it's moral injury. we need to understand the language better to understand how to navigate it. #understaffed #healthcareworker #nursesoftiktok #nurselife #moralinjury
Absolutely. You still love the work, your peers and your patients, but you get asked to do things or act against your own ethic!!

Our peers sometimes reinforce it by glorifying self-sacrifice, instead of pushing back.

moral injury was first used as a term to describe a type of PTSD in veterans, and it absolutely applies to nurses today. fun fact, at the time, it was also believed the veteran nurses couldn't have PTSD because they were women.

I call it corporate grief because you have an ideal about what it is and it fails you in so many ways while you’re trying to make it work.

We don’t have healthcare. We have a wealth transfer mechanism build around a model which provides health related services.

This is what I SCREAM at my manager and coworkers. NO ONE is burned out. We are gaslit into doing more with less. Slowly taking away resources while we continue to suffer.

Yes to all of this plus… I think it results in total stress/cortisol over load on a physiological level

Moral injury-yes! You’re absolutely right! Operationalizing our compassion for sure and expecting us to accept diddly wages at the expense of our own health.

I left patient care after 20 years. it was the most incredible feeling to work at a job where I wasn't measured by 8 minute increments of productivity. I miss the noble cause of what I did but my cup was empty and had to choose my own wellness
