Nurse Cannibals - Eating Their Young

Real Nurse Stories

In this episode, I interview Tracy Churchill and Emma Versluis who are senior nurses and the authors of a series of four articles that was published on Linkedin in June 2020. This episode explores how the authors became interested in the topic, along with the responses that they received as a result of publishing the articles. The articles and this podcast interview lift the lid on an important and taboo subject in the nursing profession and one that the authors agree is a shameful topic. Nurse stereotypes exist that portray a caring and nurturing profession, sadly not always towards each other. This year is the 2020 International Year of the Nurse and Midwife and both Tracy and Emma hope that in raising this important topic they can help to move away from "nurses eating their young" to a new culture where "nurses feed their young" through positive leadership skills and management.
