18. How Can We Take Care of Nurses?

Nurses are burning out, and not because they can’t handle the job. In this episode, David explores the mounting pressures facing nurses today, from chronic understaffing to a workplace culture that often treats emotional exhaustion as part of the job.With insights from Roswell Park’s Pamela Pichon (MS, BSN, RN) and Amy Gallagher (PsyD, MSHCT, Resiliency Program Leader), we look at what burnout actually feels like on the ground and what hospitals can do differently to better support the people holding the healthcare system together.Keep up with all things Smarter Than Cancer and let us know what you think of the show at https://www.roswellpark.org/smarterthancancer
