Balancing Parenting and Nursing Careers with Practical Strategies

https://www.longwoods.com/content/27853/insights/balancing-parenting-and-nursing-careers-with-practical-strategies

For Canadian nurse parents working in hospitals, long-term care, community, and remote settings, balancing parenting and career advancement can feel like holding two full-time roles at once.

Burnout among nurse parents often shows up as constant exhaustion paired with the guilt that comes from competing responsibilities at home and at work. When nursing career advancement struggles pile on, missed learning opportunities, stalled applications, and limited capacity to plan, it can start to feel like progress has a price.
