Abstract
COVID impacted nurses on many levels, but most significantly accelerating the nursing shortage, increasing acuity, burnout, and stress (Khammissa et al., 2022). These interrelated factors created high turnover rates. Therefore, the aim of this project was to improve the burnout and stress scores of medical surgical nurses by 10% by the end of six weeks after assigning restorative breaks to be taken at specified times during the day.
