Compassion Fatigue and Burnout
Health is not only to be well, but to use well every
power we have. The martyr sacrifices themselves
entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain: for they make the
selfish mote selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrower,
narrower.
--Florence Nightingale
This desire to deeply care for others can put nurses at risk of
compassion fatigue and burnout, which can also affect patients
and organizations.
