EP 66: Speaking Up Against Workplace Harassment

When dealing with harassment and toxic work environments, fears of shame and retaliation often make it difficult for victims to speak up. Bystanders may be afraid to go against the status quo. But, there is power in using our voice and speaking up against these acts. This week's guest did just that.

Episode 66 of the Hope4Med podcast features April Nitkin, a palliative care nurse practitioner who spoke up for concerns of fraud, sexual harassment, and toxic work environments. She shares the powerful story of her experience with harassment and a toxic culture in her workplace. Despite her organization's leaders attempts to silence her, she won her federal court case and continues to speak up against hostile work environments in healthcare and advocate for safety in the workplace.
