Unmasking healthcare woes: From veteran nurse to courageous whistleblower
07 Nov 2023
I was taken aback when I first heard the nerve-racking stories of Amanda, a 20-year veteran in nursing who courageously decided to walk away from her profession. It's tough to imagine the anguish that Amanda had to endure while facing unsafe practices, assault, and abuse during her tenure in New Zealand hospitals. Our discussion is a revealing portrait of the grim realities of healthcare facilities in these tumultuous times. Amanda (not her real name) tells of the hardship nurses endure, the distressing scarcity of resources, the emotional trauma of handling difficult patients, and the relentless workload that is expected to be managed without proper support. She sheds light on the systemic challenges haunting the healthcare system—disparity in pay, underfunding, and the detrimental impact of recent health system overhauls on the workforce. Amanda's transformation story and her bravery to speak out for the sake of public safety are not to be missed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
