So this is one of the reasons I'm a burnt out nurse. We don't want labels and endless hollow gratitude, just to be respected for the professionalism.

After 5 years of study to become an ICU nurse and ten years working on the frontline there comes a point where the combination of repressed trauma, platitudes and anti-science nuts causes you to break.

It's been over 12 months since my PTSD diagnosis, things are improving but I can't step foot in a ward. I'm done and never going back. I just can't.

Change the narrative. Nursing is not a "calling" with religious overtones, it's a profession.
