ABSTRACT: Professional nursing stress at the workplace puts nurses under extreme pressure and leads to exhaustion and inability to deal with stressful situations which cause burnout. Continuous professional nursing stress at the workplace causes multiple physical as well as psychological manifestations. Due to more demanding job nurses are more prone to burnout syndrome at the workplace. Early assessment and timely interventions to overcome burnout are key for more productive work output. The objective of the present study is to assess burnout syndrome for nurses and consequently suggest the required interventions and procedures to deal with these detected burnout features. Conclusions: Nurses with less than 3 years of experience might be more susceptible to burnout. Younger nurses (22 - 28 years) may face unique challenges related to career development and personal life transitions. A high percentage of nurses reported excessive workload, having to work outside of regular hours, and feeling overwhelmed. Many nurses felt they had limited control over their work environment and decisions that impacted them. Nurses expressed feeling undervalued, unappreciated, and that their hard work was not recognized. Balancing personal and professional life was a significant challenge for many nurses.
