Dorling Kindersley RF | ThinkStock When you first start out as a nurse, you tend to be in awe of all the little tricks that more experienced nurses have up their sleeves.

There has been a greater focus on creating healthy work environments in recent years, and nurses deserve kindness, too. Regardless of your nursing position, remember that kindness is still in style.

I don’t know what has happened to nursing over time, but we must return to caring basics as a nursing profession.

While the strain that COVID-19 put on the healthcare system for over two years is partly to blame for these numbers, it is not the only reason for an increase in burnout.
