The cover page and reference page in correct APA do not count towards the minimum word amount. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment.

• What happens to the nurse when role stress or strain becomes too overwhelming? What happens to patient care? How is this related to possible ethic and legal issues? Discuss how nurses can manage or reduce role stress and role strain.
• Explain two issues that lead to nurse burnout and discuss a solution for each issue.
• Think of an experience in your nursing profession where you either felt strain or burnout and how you overcame this event. (Since this is personal experience, you can use first person narration for this portion of your essay.)
