Ep. 14: Trauma Bandaids with Amy Qualey

Amy, an OB nurse whose patient was in the ICU, bravely shares her story about an earth shattering event in her nursing career that caused her traumatic stress and panic attacks. She details how this event affected her day-to-day work life, here career, and how she navigated the very limited support she received from her employer to begin to work through her trauma, heal, and courageously how she’s helping other nurses do the same.

There are some amazing and practical nuggets of info in this episode that can benefit every single healthcare professional. Amy is teaching about trauma bandaids and what we can do as professionals when our usual tools for coping fail (and our employers fail to support our mental health.)
