In this podcast, the topic of requiring nurses to use their vacation days when they contract Covid-19 is discussed. Numerous hospitals are in such dire need of staff that they encourage nurses who have tested positive for COVID-19 to return to work if they are symptom-free and are wearing full PPE.

 This is because so many hospitals are in dire need of personnel. This circumstance places these nurses, who are already undervalued and overburdened, under severe mental and physical strain, which is cause for concern.

The solution is straightforward: explicit legislation should cover the sick leave of nurses who miss work due to COVID-19, regardless of whether they have received vaccinations or their division.

Self-care must be a top priority for nurses, who must not risk their health for their profession's sake.

These are not just stories.

They are anchors.

Written in the after,

after the shift,

after the silence,

after the moment you wondered if you could still keep going.

This space isn’t loud.

It doesn’t shout advice.

But if you let it,

it might steady something in you.

A small pull toward the part of you

that still believes in why you began.

Not because it’s easy.

Because it’s yours.
