Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Nursing is for all nurses, but especially those who suffer from one of more of the following issues: job dissatisfaction, compassion fatigue, moral distress, or burnout. Many nurses who choose to go back to school may suffer from some degree of compassion fatigue/burnout, and not even know it. Despite the research-based aspect of this resource, the presentation is very personal, as the author starts by sharing a time when she considered leaving the profession, and how she regained the enthusiasm needed to continue as a nurse. Told from a first-person perspective, the work is based on research and is designed to provide practical steps for the nurse or nurses reading the book.
