    HNTKYP: Burnout

    HNTKYP: Burnout

    This episode of HNTKYP takes a no-holds-barred look at burnout among emergency nurses, and it's not for the faint of heart. We're getting real about the brutal reality of the emergency department, where the relentless pressure cooks even the toughest among us. We talk about how burnout not only affects the nurse, but the team and most importantly the patient. It's a deep dive into the dark side of nursing, where stress isn't just a part of the job—it's the job. But it's not all doom and gloom; we're also tackling how to fight back, recognize the warning signs, and protect both our patients and our sanity.

Listen!

Best emergency medicine podcast I've listened to so far. I am an ER nurse and I’m constantly telling my coworkers to listen to this podcast. It has helped me realize a lot about my patient care and helped keep me on my toes with my medical knowledge. I’ll definitely keep listening.

Take a Listen

Long time ER nurse who found both Art of Emergency Nursing and HNTKYP Podcasts over the past year. These have given me so much encouragement in being in the specialty of emergency nursing. I have been passing on these ER nursing specific podcasts to all our new ER staff (nurses as well as our techs that are in nursing school.). I hung up the names of these resources in our break room and keep encouraging my colleagues to take a listen. Thanks for all you do to encourage, equip and advocate for this specialty!

Love this Podcast!!!!

I’m a new nurse in the ER and I have shared this podcast with my coworkers and they love it. These episodes have been sent to my nurse manager and shared in my UBC mtgs. Thank you for sharing your experiences and the importance of what people should be doing to keep pts safe!! Dr. Wolf is so real and has helped me so much in my own practice. Thank you thank you!! I look forward to the new episodes. I would love to hear about the covid burn out nurse crisis and how the new nurse coming in can resuscitate the crumbled culture of jaded nursing and lack of care because they just don’t have it in them anymore. I encounter negativity and bullies daily in my ER and providers that scold nurses like children. How does the new nurse get through without bursting into tears in front of everyone? I would love to hear an episode on specifically dialysis pts and their high blood pressure and the nurse upstairs freaking out about the pt coming up with high blood pressure, even though the pt needs to have dialysis yesterday!?? I love you guys and hope you see my message.
