About this listen
🎙️ In this solo episode, Wendy brings together two powerful live recordings from the Your Nurse Voice Matters (previously known as Healthy Options Now) Facebook group to explore a question many nurses quietly ask themselves: Is this burnout, or have I outgrown my role?
In the first half, Wendy unpacks the signs that you may have outgrown your nursing role. Key themes include:
-
Loss of enjoyment — boredom, lack of challenge, and feeling undervalued
-
Misaligned expectations — what you were promised versus reality
-
Limited opportunities — no visible career pathway or growth
In the second half, Wendy clarifies the critical difference between burnout and role misalignment. Key themes include:
-
The source of the problem — workload and fatigue versus poor role fit
-
How you feel after rest — relief versus persistent dissatisfaction
-
What you fantasise about changing — hours and shifts versus purpose and direction
This episode encourages reflection, self-awareness, and proactive career conversations — before frustration turns into burnout.
