Suicide in Nursing 2023 | Navigating the Unseen Struggles

Join Diane Anderson, MSN-ED, on the SkillSnacks Channel for an insightful discussion on the harsh realities faced by nurses in 2023. In this video, we delve into the often-overlooked challenges nurses confront when caring for irate and difficult patients, as well as the alarming instances of abuse directed at healthcare professionals.

Nurses, doctors, and various healthcare experts bear the brunt of these physical confrontations, enduring punches, spitting, kicks, and even having urine thrown at them. In this candid conversation, we shed light on the feeling of vulnerability that plagues the nursing community within a healthcare system that often falls short in providing the protection they need and deserve.

We explore how the healthcare administration's token gestures, such as pizza parties and Krispy Kreme donuts, do little to address the deeper issues at hand. As a result of this perceived lack of support, we share stories of how burnout drove two young nurses to tragic ends, as revealed in their heartbreaking suicide notes. These poignant letters lay blame squarely on the healthcare administration for their failure to provide the necessary support systems.

In the concluding segment of this video, we provide valuable crisis intervention and hotline information for anyone who may be experiencing burnout or having suicidal thoughts. It's essential to know that help is available, and that there are resources to provide the support and understanding you need during difficult times. Together, let's shine a light on these issues and work towards a healthcare environment that prioritizes the well-being of its dedicated professionals.
