An ED RN Is Burnt To A Crisp (Part 1)
This is the 50th episode of this podcast and we're going to celebrate by talking about one of my favorite subjects: nurse burn out.

Receipt:
31.5% of nurses reported leaving their job due to burnout
various sources reporting burnout rates between 35% and 54% for nurses and physicians
The ANA has lots of numbers on nurse burnout
