Amie Archibald-Varley says that thinking of nursing as “a calling” makes it harder to speak out against the long hours, burnout and even physical abuse that nurses face. Archibald-Varley and Sara Fung are nurses who have become advocates for better supports in their profession. They talk to Matt Galloway about their new book The Wisdom of Nurses: Stories of Grit from the Front Lines.
