Dr. Laws shares her journey into nursing later in life and her mission to provide resources and support for nurses facing trauma. The conversation emphasizes the need for a shift in how the healthcare system addresses nurse well-being and the importance of understanding the physiological responses to trauma. This conversation delves into the multifaceted challenges faced by nurses, including the impact of trauma on their mental health and the generational trauma that perpetuates unhealthy work environments. They also address the issue of workplace violence and the disempowerment of nurses within the healthcare system, while offering practical wellness strategies to help nurses reclaim their professional joy and contentment.
