HealthcareWorkload Management5CriticalTriage Nurse$ implied

A triage nurse is overwhelmed by an unmanageable workload in an understaffed outpatient clinic, leading to severe burnout and feelings of being undervalued.

Existing support (extra nurses, management) is ineffective because they don't have the same knowledge level, and staffing remains insufficient, so the nurse still manages the same workload with additional responsibilities and no pay increase.
