Abstract
Having tormented the world for over 2 years, the COVID pandemic posts a new risk to human. The new variant, called Omicron, is very potent and more transmissible. Healthcare services all over the world are facing a much more difficult situation. So is the nursing profession. Insufficient manpower, inadequate facility and equipment, and long-term stress of caring for the critically ill post huge challenges to the nurses. There is common concern about nurses’ own mental health. Burnout is commonly reported by nurses.
