Today we chat with the two very brave nurses who shared their story of abuse and violence during Covid, at a Melbourne hospital.

We discuss when they realised that they couldn’t nurse anymore and their diagnosis of PTSD.

We chat about their self care, the management of their conditions and the impact having PTSD has had on their families.

I cannot tell you how brave these women are. I am in awe of their strength and courage. How they showed up to work regardless of how they were feeling as they believed in what they were doing for the community.

Thank you ladies. Sharing your story is so important for us to hear, so something like this never happens again.
