033 Mental Distancing from Your Nursing Job

Feeling robotic at work? In this episode of Nurse Burnout Solutions, I discuss the subtle but painful symptom of burnout: mental distance from work. From going through the motions with patients to feeling emotionally numb or disconnected from your “why,” I unpacks how this survival strategy shows up — and why it’s more than just a bad week.

You’ll learn a simple values-based journaling prompt to help reconnect with your purpose and start realigning with what matters most. And you’ll hear why deeper support is often needed when disconnection turns into dread or compassion fatigue.

Tune in for practical tools, compassionate insights, and encouragement that you don’t have to navigate burnout alone.
