Professionals have been discussing the concept of nurse burnout and how it affects the profession for at least 50 years. Dr. Lorre Laws, whose Ph.D. is in nursing, realized from her own experiences and from interviewing and speaking to other nurses that the issue has been insufficiently addressed. She decided to rectify this. The result was her book, Nursing Our Healers: A Recovery Guide for Nurse Trauma and Burnout. Check out this podcast episode on Healing Nurse Trauma: Burnout, Self-Care, and Systemic Challenges.



Lorre has a deep understanding of the connection between burnout and trauma and believes that, while some sources of burnout are inevitable, many require solving systemic changes. Lack of equipment, for example, forced her to catch a falling patient at the cost of three herniated discs.



She also points out that when nurses report abuse by patients, they are often gaslighted, asked how they could have prevented the incident. This literally adds insult to injury.



This issue is relevant to LNCs for a number of reasons. Career transition can also be traumatic. The LNC may be somewhat removed from the immediacy of a plaintiff’s traumas, but they must address them, often in a pain and suffering report. They may be subject to the frustrations of an attorney having problems. In addition, they may be exposed to a burned-out, traumatized nurse who made a mistake as a result.



In conclusion, Lorre offers two 30-second practices that she recommends doing whenever possible to reduce stress and burnout levels. You can do them anywhere, and she hopes you will.
