Are we in the middle of collective grief right now? What does it mean to experience loss as a group? It feels like collective trauma and grief for us in this pandemic. Some aspects of health care feel like that as well. In this episode, Peggy discusses the difficulties of being a charge nurse in a small Emergency room while dealing with death.
Peggy has been nursing for 29 years, most of those years have been in the ER but also includes time on obstetrics and rural nursing where you are the nurse of all trades. She also worked as a flight nurse for 7 years, transferring patients worldwide. Traveling everywhere from Canada, the USA, and globally.
Peggy’s passions include her family, including three grown children and also now includes a grandson and another grandbaby on the way.
Peggy hit a wall 6 years ago in her nursing career, feeling disconnected, frustrated, bitter, angry, and unfulfilled. It was then that she realized she had been waiting on the wrong people for way too long, to change things. She had been waiting for so many others to change how she felt, only to learn SHE was actually the person to create the positive change she craved.
