This week, Sam Calvin stopped by to discuss decision fatigue with us. Sam gives us the basics on how decision fatigue develops, its impact on caregivers, particularly nurses, and how it can lead to burnout. We talk about how decision fatigue is a natural and expected response to sustained cognitive load, so Sam offers practical advice for mitigating its effects in a high-stress profession like nursing. Big thanks to Sam for his expertise!
