The life and career of a nurse can be inspiring and fulfilling, and, like any career, it can also become stale, stagnant, and not as fulfilling as it used to be if it’s not carefully fed and watered. All jobs risk becoming rote and robotic, and nursing is no exception. Compassion fatigue, burnout, stress, or garden-variety boredom can transform a career you used to love into one you tolerate at best and perhaps even loathe.
