Symptoms of caregiver burnout include physical and emotional exhaustion, lack of motivation, poor patient and customer service, increased conflict with co-workers, and chronic worry about work. The nurse is working overtime, is irritable, and is concerned with work, which are all symptoms of burnout. These are not symptoms of denial, anticipatory grieving, or conflict.
