This episode considers the widespread phenomenon of burnout among healthcareworkers, particularly in the case of nurses and for women in the profession especially. The hope of this podcast is to raise awareness to the problems affecting nurses and provide possible solutions to them. Among several stark realities of caring professions like nursing that this episode will cover in brief, these hosts will discuss in detail incidents of nurse suicides and recent strikes by Kaiser-Permanente Employees. The episode will also cover key issues ranging from, gender inequality, nurse strikes and the impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic. To conclude the episode, Lauren and Blessing offer possible solutions to help ease some of the burdens facing nurses.
