Burnout of Nurses
According to the American Nurses Association (ANA), an aging population and political
healthcare reforms have extended healthcare systems access. They have bolstered the critical
shortage of nurses(The Nursing Shortage, 2018). The average age of employed registered nurses

profit margins in a culture of the administrativemindset of doing more with less. These
factorslead to increased stress, compassion fatigue, and dissatisfaction,creating nursing
burnout(Erikson, 2017).
