EP 65: It Broke Me

Episode 65 of the Hope4Med podcast features nurse practitioner Marina. She is a COVID-19 nurse practitioner who worked crisis when the pandemic first started and has struggled with mental health and PTSD. Now, she's working in primary care and wants to share her story. She shares the traumatic experience of working on the front lines of the COVID pandemic, being the last ones to hold a patient's hand as they leave us during a time families were separated from their loved ones. She shares her feelings of helplessness, loneliness, and the post-traumatic mental health effects she has from this experience. We are honored to feature her powerful story.
