The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the nursing profession are discussed in this podcast. It brings attention to the reality that millions of people have died, including over 115,000 nurses around the world. The episode also delves into the unknown future effects of the infection. Problems with mental health, including anxiety, sadness, and post-traumatic stress disorder, are common among nurses.

Despite the widespread respect and admiration shown to nurses throughout the epidemic, neither their salaries nor their working circumstances have improved significantly. In order to help overworked nurses cope with staffing shortages, it has been suggested that more people enter the nursing profession.

The audio concludes with a thought-provoking query: how will nurses relay their memories of the epidemic to the next generation? 

The takeaway is that the last chapter has yet to be written and that nurses have control over their own mental health.

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.
