Some days, I feel like being an ER nurse is like wading through molasses. Today was one of those days. I've been an ER nurse for two years, and I'm feeling burned out. Some of my mentors say this is a normal step, but I've been wondering: at what point are you burned out and need a little break, and at what point are you just burned up? I don't want to be one of those nurses I see who doesn't care anymore, but I'm definitely feeling that way at times. Sigh. Maybe it's just that it was another 12 hour day, it was a Code Brown kind of day, and I'm wanting to go out right now on a Friday night, but I'm too tired to get off the couch. I dunno. Blech.
