Nursing is a vast field, with many opportunities and specialties, but also various labor issues. This episode discusses nursing shortages due to lack of pay and insufficiency of resources. Len and Taniya base their episode on an artifact from the Southern Labor Archives that predicts these very factors will lead to the nursing shortages we see today. In this episode, hosts break down how we got to this point in the nursing profession, addressing the long-lasting effects, and providing some possible solutions that could end the toxic cycle.
