The short-term outcome for my education in-service is to see an increase in the nursing staff on my unit that utilize the resources available to help manage their feelings of burnout  )
Identify the outcome of the implementation phase
Present statistical or numerical results of the data collected during the implementation phase (I have results from 23 nurses, and 20/23 rated their level of burnout between 8-10 with 10 being the most burned out. After speaking with the nurse manager, I found out that there have been 8 nurses within the last year that resigned or transferred to another department, and stated their reasoning was due to feeling overwhelmed, and had a poor work life balance )
Identify your long-term outcome (
My long-term outcome is that there will be at least a 50% decrease in nurse burnout on my unit within 6 months which in turn will enhance the nursing staff’s overall wellness and promote a positive work environment  )
