nurse burnout face reading

There is No Right Time to Address the Burnout, Fear and Anxiety Nurses Face

nurse burnout face reading

No job is easy but some are harder. If you have been to hospital due to some serious emergency, you understand the anxiety, the fear and those countable moments you can never forget. Imagine how it would be for nurses or doctors or any other healthcare worker who is working in that kind of environment? 

You might argue part of it because someone dear to you was taken care of there BUT the responsibility that the healthcare workers handle is daunting nonetheless. It’s a passion to save lives that leads them to go for this career but the downsides are a daily friend. 

With Pandemic, the situation is worse. The amount of burnout and anxiety that not only the nurses or doctors have but also their family members face is unimaginable. 

So lets list down the factors that lead to them:

  • Poor staffing system
  • Long working hours
  • Lack of right support
  • Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization
  • High-stress environment
  • Lack of sleep and proper rest

Let’s get to these points one by one:

  • Poor Staffing System

We have talked about this before. The fact that the staffing problem cannot be solved in a day is understandable. Gradually smart solutions like PerDiemz and several other such purposeful apps are paving their way to handle the problem. 



With lack of staff needed at the right time, most of the nurses are forced to work overtime which brings us to the next issue — long working hours.

  • Long working hours

The job of nurses is anyways not easy and when they are to put in long hours with no sleep, it affects everything right from their body, their mental health and their immunity. It might take time for a new nurse to get used to this and with time, they might but the point of how negatively long working hours affect nurses cannot be ignored. 

  • Lack of right support

The culture of your workplace matters a lot. When it comes to healthcare, it mostly depends on the main team handing the place. They need to have a vision, protocols with both patient and staff oriented approach. 

Many a times, there are issues of lack of teamwork and collaboration, differences in opinions on how to handle patients, dearth of cooperation and peer bullying lead to the staff including that of nurses to leave the job. 

  • Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization

We often tend to forget that nurses and other healthcare professionals are also human beings who have families, friends and problems just like any of us. While many of our personal lives take a heavy toll on us – so it does for them. 

While treating patients, they are expected to be strong-headed, not connect much since the work demands focus and presence of mind. Practical approach is preferred leading to detachment. This has its pros but cons too. 

  • High-stress environment

This is something you cannot avoid and let’s face it — there is nothing you can do about it. We are talking about patients and their lives here and there will come times when things will be stressful for everyone in the operating room including the nurses. The nurses in Post-acute care and emergency rooms face stress issues. 

Other factors like burnout, overwork, lack of team support can only add more to it. 

  • Lack of sleep and proper rest

We have gone about this before but we feel the need to repeat it to state how important this is. Any human being or living creature for that matter needs proper sleep and rest to function to their best. A certain hours of overtime seems reasonable but when nurses work double shifts, well, it creates problems. 

What happens if these issues are not addressed?

If these constant emotions of burnout, it can lead to a lot of issues for both the nurses as well as the facilities employing them. 

A few of the most common issues that can come up are: 

  • Decrease in loyalty
  • Depression
  • Loyalty
  • Less attention span
  • Depersonalization
  • Lack of personal fulfilment 
  • No professional accomplishment 
  • Chances of more errors in judgement
  • Irritability
  • Poor job performance

Are nurses equipped to handle these?

No, they are not – at least at the start of it! With so many factors listed above, it hardly counts if they are. But there are many strategies that could be adopted for them to get through this. 

  • Yoga – A daily yoga session could help you handle stress and settle down the anxiousness that you often find difficult to handle.
  • Stress Reduction Programs – A lot of support groups are created where nurses can talk out their issues and also realize they are not alone in their battles.
  • Compassion Fatigue Programs – These are the programs that are designed to reconnect with themselves, the core values and mission that led them to choose this profession. 
  • Grief Counselling – Regular counselling sessions from experts every quarter can be arranged where nurses can share how they feel and how their experiences are affecting them so they feel their needs are taken care of.
  • Mentorship Programs: There can be formal and informal nursing both. The main goal of these programs is to promote personal and professional growth, job retention and nursing supportive relationships between experienced nurses and fresh nurse graduates. 

A balanced work-life, ability to choose where to work, improved attention to these issues and fair pay can still be achieved with platforms like PerDiemz who are gradually making their way into the industry with the sole purpose of giving better opportunities to nurses.

New York and Connecticut: PerDiemz is here to settle the nurse staffing gaps and working hours hassles!

The healthcare industry had been on the verge of a collapse during the Pandemic. While no one had anticipated this event that took everyone by storm, it is always wise to be prepared for more of it to come in the future. 

A balanced healthcare staffing has been a fiction for long and with PerDiemz in the picture, you could hope it to become a reality. 

So what is PerDiemz? 

PerDiemz is a multifaceted platform that is designed keeping the needs of both nurses as well as the healthcare facilities in mind. 

It is an app that nurses can use to explore standard work opportunities across New York and Connecticut. Right from exploring opportunities in open shifts, applying to invites, tracking their earnings throughout the month to connecting with the potential employers, everything can be accessed from a single app.

For the facilities and hospitals who are always on the verge of breakdown due to shortage of qualified staff, the portal of PerDiemz is a boon. They can create open shifts, invite qualified staff to apply, track attendance and payout — all from this single dashboard. 

How does PerDiemz plan to stabilize the staffing gaps of nurses at New York and Connecticut?

Let’s first talk about the current problems faced. Nurse staffing gaps is a broad term that accounts for many other problems attached to it. 

  • Dearth of best suited candidates: Taking care of patients is no joke and hence, facilities need the right staff while filling in the nurse gap shifts. A nurse who has just started his/her career cannot go on to take care of patients that are in serious condition. In case of any emergencies, experienced nurses can make strong calls on their own. 

    Every facility has a need of its own since they tend to different kinds of patients. 

  • No established network to reach out nurses – A lot of the staffing will be taken care of by outsourcing it to third party agencies that grab hefty fees and in case of emergencies, there is no workaround the time that goes in having the right people at the right time.

Unless the facilities are managing everything on their own, they are left to rely on the employment agencies who may or may not provide an instant solution.

  • The pay, time and burnout issue

It is no secret that nurses put in long hours and often suffer from burnout. And with last year, it gets even more difficult. Nurses often suffer from more anxiety, lack good quality sleep, do not have a defined schedule of lifestyle and go through a lot of stress due to the kind of work they do. It is fair to say their job is no joke and it needs the right attention. 

They do eventually get used to the routine but one cannot ignore the fact that they as well need care, right work-life balance and a deserving pay for it. 

  • No family life: Nurses often lack a proper work-life balance cause it is normally mandatory for them to put in long working hours. After a lot of burnout, all that is left is time for them to rest, revive and get back to work. 

They lack deep personal life and that is a critical issue that this industry needs addressing. 

How will PerDiemz solve the factored problems? 

  • It will create a strong network of qualified nurses 

What is primarily missing is a strong network of well qualified nurses who are experienced and can help in eliminating the inevitable staffing gap. PerDiemz brings facilities and nurses on the same platform so they can connect and rectify the situation. 

It is foreseen to be a marketplace of sought that will exclusively be for the nurses and the facilities. 

  • Facilities can directly contact nurses

The best part about PerDiemz is that the middle layer that withholds immediate action in case of emergencies is removed. A facility can immediately create an open position, get the list of nurses available in that time slot and invite them to apply. 

The nurses since they have set their preferences accordingly are naturally available and hence the situation is controlled. With many options, the facilities can scan the credentials quickly and go on to hire nurses as needed. 

  • A mentionable and transparent pay structure will be offered

Nurses can check-in/out real time from the app itself. They need not inform the manager at the facility or anyone about their arrival. Their check-ins are registered in the system. 

Weekly earnings and payouts can be easily tracked from the app itself making it user-friendly and a go-to place for everything. They can even go on to check their daily, weekly and monthly schedule to plan out things accordingly. What more can you ask for?

  • Nurses will have the freedom to set preferences for their jobs

This is possibly the best and the most important feature that PerDiemz offers to nurses. It’s not just what comes along the way but options based on the preferences set. 

Nurses can set the choice of location, the timings and the days so they get the invite accordingly. In their search, they will get the results based on the preferences set.  

  • Facilities will have access to the best pool of talent

Nurses can register on the platform only after they have gone through all the background checks set by PerDiemz which means best and reliable nurses are there to source from. 

The facilities need not worry about their reliability and credentials. All they need to do is scan through the profile and invite the ones that best match their needs. 

This way, PerDiemz plans to change the way work is perceived by a nurse, starting off with New York and Connecticut.

skills required for qualified nurses

10 tips seasoned nurses would give to clinicians for them to succeed!

skills required for qualified nurses

Starting out at a new workplace can be a nerve-racking experience despite the fact that you have years of experience. The first day is crucial and so is the first impression that you create. 

If you are a clinician, starting as a freshman has its challenges and so does starting as an experienced clinician. With this blog, we bring you 10 top tips that could help you survive the jitters and go ahead with more confidence and adapt quickly. 

1. Don’t overthink and go with the flow

Not just at a new job but anywhere in your life, this advice will help you survive anything. Often you might be so excited to join a new workplace or the dream job that you will create a certain image of that thing in your mind. As much as we hope that it comes true, that might not be the case every time. This could lead to disappointments, frustrations and dissatisfaction. 

So we advise you to go with the flow. Just be excited enough about it with an open mind so you can grasp and adapt to everything that comes your way. We know this does not sound as easy but could definitely help you sail the storm brewing inside.

2. Make sure to create a right first impression

We definitely don’t believe that first impression is the last impression but we do believe that first impression matters. Certain things do matter like arriving on time, taking note of every instruction taken, gelling in with everyone and the way you introduce yourself to everyone. 

Different people might take your behavior differently so be sure to stay on a neutral end of everything. It is important to stay in the good books of your seniors as well as peers since they are the ones that will help you to get through the start phase of your tenure at the workplace.

3. The cardinal rule – Avoid GOSSIP!

At most of the workplaces, taking a break or relaxing a bit might mean gossiping. White this might add more spice to your day, our advice would be to strictly avoid gossip at all costs. 

Besides, gossipping can sound very unprofessional and insensitive especially since you tend to the healthcare industry. There are many HIPAA laws which state that you cannot gossip about patients. So, make sure you don’t be a part of any gossip or take one if there are people doing it.

4. Be humble, kind and helpful

It might so happen that you have joined as a senior member or as a head to a group of freshmen clinicians. Make sure that you are well-grounded with a leader on a mission, humble about your service and ever ready to help. This will help you gain more acceptance between your subordinates and also promote positive team building. 

If you have joined as a junior, be ready to learn new things, take criticism positively and learn from everything you can. There is always something new to learn. Inculcate a habit of observing everything to nurture your skills.

5. Get Feedback

Getting feedback is so important. Not everyone will outright go on to tell you what they feel but if they see you inclined enough to hear what they have to say, well, you might just get the right feedback to get you ahead. 

Lets face it, it is not easy to work as a clinician. You need to be physically and mentally strong. Not everyone will be perfect on the first day. It takes years to gain that momentum and if your goal is to be the best at what you do, go grab some meaningful feedback. 

6. Be open and flexible

You might be used to your own set ways but if you are not open enough to change your habits, there is a lot of learning that you will be missing out on. 

You might have worked at a small facility first but now if you have got a chance to work at a big one, everything right from the policies, procedures, systems is going to change. Make sure to adapt to it and learn from it because that will help you in the long run.

7. Ask questions confidently

Not everyone of us has the courage to ask the right questions but if you have one, go on and ask it anyway. There are a lot of things you will not understand the first time like the protocols or the standard defined procedures at the facility. It is better to ask questions than to make mistakes. 

There is no scope for you to make one since you are dealing with someone’s life here. Go on to ask questions without giving it a second thought. It is always better to be safe than sorry!

8. Stay organised

We cannot stress enough how important this is. Staying organised is going to help you and your patients in every way possible. Right from taking notes, feeding them to the system, keeping updates on the medicines administered and the time for it – everything matters. 

Be it anywhere you work, make sure to keep everything organised for all the right reasons. This will help you in case of emergencies when you need to run back and remember stuff when you have everything ready and organised.

9. Observe, observe, observe!

We can go on about this. Most of the things that you will learn at a new place is by observing. Keep taking note of how seniors are treating the patients and following up. Listen to the patients, observe their body language especially if the case is a bit sensitive. This could lead to a better diagnosis and treatment of the patient. 

If there are situations when you are not able to determine what happened then you can determine a lot of things by simply observing the body language or movements of the patient. 

10. Get along with everyone especially the support staff

Do not confine your connections or communication only to your peers or superiors. Talk to everyone. There is a lot of help out there that you get from people working in the support staff and admin area. Believe it or not, they know more than anyone else. 

If you are facing cold shouldering as a new member, there are many staff members who are not directly working with you but can be a huge support system. The guy at the canteen could be a great help in need or the one at the reception. Make sure to get along with everyone.
