Set in the post-pandemic reality of 2026, the discussion reframes burnout as a misdiagnosis and exposes how ethical compromise, institutional betrayal, and systemic dysfunction are driving experienced nurses out of the profession.\n\nDrawing from interdisciplinary research and real-world clinical examples, the episode explains how repeated moral distress accumulates into moral injury—an injury that affects the mind, body, and professional identity. The conversation moves beyond naming the problem to explore evidence-based, system-level solutions, including the R3 Initiative, Schwartz Rounds, nurse-led debriefing, workflow redesign, and inclusion as a pillar of wellness. The episode closes with a powerful call to action: nurses don’t need more toughness—they need change, community, and structural support to protect their integrity and stay in the profession."}
