The Texas Nurses PodcastPerspectives on Moral Distress and Self-Care#NurseLife Nurses care for others. It is what calls them to nursing. But when nurses are in stressful situations, like the COVID-19 pandemic, ethical concerns can lead to moral distress and compassion fatigue.

Many nurses even report leaving the profession due to moral distress.
