SHIFT Talk

SHIFT Talk brings nurses together to get real about the challenges we’re facing on and off the clock. This season we’re looking at the impacts of COVID-19. Because what could be more important right now? You’ll hear how other nurses are healing, and also how they’re dealing with everyday issues like bullying and burnout. We’re sharing the truth about our experiences and figuring out how to move forward. Together. Talk with us, laugh with us, cry with us. Get courageous with us.

When COVID-19 hit, Jackie O’Halloran was thrown into the ICU with little more than a pep talk. In this episode, we talk about how a lack of preparation failed nurses nationwide, as well as Jackie’s experience publicly calling out administrators for their lack of front-line support.

Jackie O’Halloran interviews Nurse Nacole and the two sound the alarm on burnout, biases and other issues pushing nurses to the brink.

Nikki Greenaway, an NP and expert on women’s health, educates us about Black maternal health disparities and how nurses can address them.

After co-authoring the report “Post‐Traumatic Stress Disorder in Nurses” earlier this year, Tricia and Michelle became sought-after experts for an emerging disorder known as “pandemic PTSD.” They join us to talk about what it is, how to spot it, the impact of COVID-19 and what to do if you’re experiencing it.
