Hi @OncologyNurseHelp, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been feeling burnt out. It's essential to prioritize self-care and set boundaries. Consider taking regular breaks, practicing mindfulness, and engaging in hobbies or activities outside of work. Additionally, build a support network of colleagues, friends, and family who can provide emotional support during difficult times. #selfcare #support
