Episode 21: Nursing Exodus - What Options Do I Have?
The "Nursing Exodus - What Options Do I Have?" podcast examines the alarming rate at which nurses quit their jobs while shedding light on the root causes, including hostile working environments, stress related to the pandemic, poor hospital conditions, and staff shortages. To increase retention rates, the episode highlights the need for support systems within nursing teams and more lengthy onboarding procedures for new nurses. Additionally, it emphasizes how important it is to pay nurses fairly and decently while highlighting how low wages contribute to the exodus. The podcast prompts listeners to consider their own experiences and the potentially avoidable factors that may have caused others to leave the profession while posing challenging questions about why nurses are quitting.
"Nurses would not be leaving in the numbers that they are if the pay was decent and fair, reflecting the risk that our angels on Earth put themselves in every day just to treat their sick patients," the quote reads.
Have you seen your coworkers, friends, or mentors leave the nursing field? If so, were any of their reasons avoidable? In your own experiences, can you identify with any of these circumstances? It's important to comprehend why reputable people have left the industry and heed the advice to put your well-being first to avoid joining the exodus.

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.
