Hot take: We need to stop calling it Burnout and start calling it Moral Injury because the system is what’s broken, not us. When you are forced to choose between hospital policy and patient safety every single day, that’s not a stress management issue. Calling it burnout makes it sound like we just need more yoga, when we actually need a functional healthcare system. Does anyone else feel like the term burnout is just another way to gaslight the staff?

I absolutely agree. Burnout makes it sound like a personal problem and moral injury names it as a systems problem (which it is).

I've been a BSN, RN for 45+ years and I suffered through all night shifts for that time being so discouraged and exhausted that some days I wanted to quit. I started as a BSN, RN at $8/hour and I'm criticized for feeling I deserve $45-50/hour now after working continuous nights, weekends, holidays and missing too many important occasions in my life. After a devastating divorce I have NOTHING while my ex-husband inherited (his sole goal for the 35 years we were married was inherited his mother's money/estate) a lot after his mother finally died. I have to rebuild/start from scratch. I carried HIM for the 35 years we were married and he was out of work more than he worked through our marriage. Having nothing and having to work while fighting cancer is VERY stressful.

I'm in Oklahoma, and an avid Aldi shopper. Prior to COVID, my favorite merlot was routinely stocked there - under $6 a bottle and better than many $30 bottles I've had. It was by Burlwood Cellars. Sadly, supply chain issues have apparently done a number on Aldi's wine selection and it's not carried there anymore. I've searched high and low for a comparable merlot, but to no avail. So I need alternate suggestions or better still, somewhere I can buy my old fav.

I recently gave my small firm notice that I am leaving and moving to another state.

I thought the rate was a bit low, but I’m not sure what to compare it to. Anybody have any experience with these arrangements? Any advice on how to structure? Or if it’s worth it? Any input is appreciated.
