Nursing home burnout and turnover

It must be difficult especially for a woman as caregiver to acculturate to the numbers and schedules of a nursing home. Carefamily wants to plump the pillow and hold the hand as well as dispense the meds. What a mismatch to wear on real humans! No wonder we have burnout and turnover. If a person can see this mismatch can she turn it toward her humanity, rather than lose her humanity to a machine-like “life?”
