a. Refusing to constantly work extra shifts
b. Withdrawing from peer support group
c. "Going native"
d. Changing jobs every 6 to 12 months
A
One of the quickest ways to experience burnout is to "overwork the overtime.". Set priorities with your mental and physical health being the highest priority. Learning to say "no" to extra shifts is a positive means of coping of avoiding burnout. "Going native" is the term that describes how recent graduates begin to copy and identify the reality of their role transition experience by re-jecting the values from nursing school and functioning more like a team member at their place of employment. Withdrawing from peer support groups, "going native," and changing jobs every 6 to 12 months would increase the chance of the nurse experiencing burnout. The nurse should in-stead focus on his/her practice and seek out support from other nurses.
