Trigger Warning: death and serious illness. Healthcare workers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and the stories shared in this episode from an inside, firsthand perspective are heavy and potentially triggering.Today’s episode is a guest episode with the mental health professionals of the ShrinkChicks podcast, Emmalee and Jen. We have a powerful conversation about my experience working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis as a nurse. We discuss my firsthand experiences from a New York Hospital (right after a major break-up, mind you), my own severe case of COVID, how the work affected my mental health, burnout, and switching careers. I also share why I left the nursing profession all together, what I am doing now, and why part of my new mission is to help nurses find their passion.Connect with ShrinkChicks:Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shrinkchicks/id1483261668Website - https://www.shrinkchicks.com/Learn More:https://katieduke--theresumerx.thrivecart.com/the-np-society/ https://www.theresumerx.com/katieduke/Connect with Katie:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekatiedukeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thekatiedukeWebsite - https://www.katiedukeonline.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
