Work Well: How to Burn Bright Without Burning Out

Dealing with stress or burnout on your imaging team? You’re not alone. It’s human nature to want to put your best foot forward and not admit to you or your colleagues when you’re feeling frustrated with your current circumstances. Realize, however, that everyone on your team probably feels the same way to some degree. Your colleagues could be carrying around a similar burden, and yet it’s quite possible nobody talks about it. Burnout is real. Whether it’s caused by work, your personal life, or external, real-world factors making you feel like you can’t take a breath, burnout can be dangerous to your long-term health and even make you question whether you still derive joy from the profession you once loved. In one of our newest on-demand webinars, Dr. Lorneka Joseph does a deep dive into stress in the healthcare field and what leads to it. She also explores, in a fun and optimistic way, what you can do to ensure it doesn’t lead to burnout that captures the joy and fulfillment you get from your job as a radiologic technologist or imaging professional. The good news? There is a way out of that stressful, burnt-out feeling. And one of the things that might surprise you about getting to that better place is that it starts with admitting you’re stressed and giving a name to the feelings you’ve experienced. By opening yourself up and being vulnerable, you can begin to reignite the passion you once felt in your role.
