On the latest episode of "Liz Collin Reports," Liz spoke with a former public health nurse in Minneapolis who left the field after she said responses to the COVID pandemic made her and her work feel fraudulent.
When Liz asked her to elaborate on just what she meant by "feeling like a fraud," Laura Van Luven said she was trained as a public health nurse to incorporate considerations of mental and social health in her practice. Even pre-pandemic, she remembered feeling concerned for new mothers who were isolated for various reasons.
But then COVID came, and Van Luven suddenly found herself prevented from doing home visits, which exacerbated an already difficult situation for the families she encountered.
When asked if caring for these families "from afar" worked during the pandemic, Van Luven admitted the quality of the services she was able to provide took a significant hit.
