Caregiver Burnout with Neonatal ICU Nurse Angela Fitzgerald

In this episode, Host Wendy McCallum, Burnout & Balance Coach and guest Angela Fitzgerald, Neonatal ICU Nurse, discuss how the pandemic has impacted the nurses in Angela's unit and more generally, the challenges that come with shift work and being in a caregiving profession during COVID-19.

Angela approached Wendy a couple of months ago because she saw a need for this conversation around wellness and burnout prevention (and recovery) in her profession. She went through her own burnout a year ago and learned a lot about how to create a better balance as a busy nurse with a family at home. Together, she and Wendy provide some strategies for reducing overwhelm and stress and improving sleep, nutrition, and self-care while working shifts and dealing with all of the additional pressures of nursing during the pandemic. Whether you are in a caregiving profession or not, you'll learn a lot from this conversation about meaningful self-care and balance.
