Healthcare workers, and nurse associates, in particular, are prone to burnout due to the natural stressors of the job. Many organisations like the NHS are now being proactive in preventing this among their teams, as turnover is a significant issue in the nursing field. Give examples of how you try to maintain a healthy work-life balance and include elements in the workplace and at home. Examples could include taking breaks, shutting off your work phone/email where appropriate, prioritizing health and wellness, exercising, and open communication with your manager.

"I try to maintain a regular schedule at home and work, avoiding working more overtime than I can handle. I'm happy to pick up extra hours and shifts when necessary and keep an open line of communication with my manager to express when I'm feeling overwhelmed. I ensure that I'm eating regular meals to keep my blood sugar stable and my body functioning at its best. During my shift, I try to take at least one break to recharge and de-stress for a few moments. At home, I like to read and take walks regularly to get some form of exercise and fresh air, which really helps me refocus. Taking time for myself to unwind and recharge helps keep me from feeling burnt out."
