After five years as an ICU nurse, the 12-hour shifts, constant alarms, and emotional toll are wearing me down. I'm not sleeping well, I'm snapping at loved ones, and I just don't feel passionate about my job anymore. How do you all cope with burnout? Any tips for rekindling the spark and finding joy in nursing again? A lot of burnout tips like these are ok, but they don't really touch on the nuance of being in healthcare.

I tend to push myself to the breaking point and then have a minor anxiety attack in my car when the attack hits at work or in my shower if the attack comes on while at home. But thanks to medication, I am able to handle my anxiety much better than I use to z have you discussed your burn out and anxiety issues with your own doctor? There might be a solution you have not considered yet.
