Physician Burnout
|
Burnout is a syndrome defined by the 3 principal components of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished feelings of personal accomplishment. Unlike major depressive disorder, which pervades all aspects of a patient's life, burnout is a distinct work-related syndrome. Burnout is most likely to occur in jobs that require extensive care of other people.

Professional Nursing: A Lifetime Career Choice
|
There are more than two million registered nurses in the U.S.—the largest healthcare occupation. Yet, there is a severe shortage of registered nurses (RNs). This means that RNs are in great demand. The American Hospital Association (AHA) states that 126,000 jobs are currently unfilled. The shortage is definitely a challenge for our health care system, but it is also a wonderful opportunity for young people who are looking for an exciting, challenging, and rewarding career.
