Each week the Healthcare Leaders chat (#HCLDR) is fabulous, covering relevant fascinating topics of great interest to me. I can’t highlight them every week, but I am often tempted to do so. This one was huge — how do we manage fatigue when it impacts on doctors, nurses, residents, students?

T1: How would you approach/suggest to a fatigued colleague that they should take a break? #hcldr
— HCLDR Moderator (@hcldr) July 2, 2014
@hcldr T1 If it is a coworker who seems overwhelmed, if you have time, offer to watch their patients, which they "take a minute" #hcldr
— Andrew Lopez, RN (@nursefriendly) July 2, 2014
MT @nursefriendly @hcldr T1 As a #nurse, I'm well aware : I need to "put my own oxygen mask on first" to be any good to my #patients. #hcldr
