    Nursing Podcast

    Welcome to the Calgary Journal Podcast. I’m your host Scott Rowan. According to a study by the Canadian Federation of Nurses Union (CFNU), 36 percent of registered nurses screened positive for depression, and 26 percent of registered nurses suffer from anxiety. Clinical burnout, PTSD, and panic disorder are other reported illnesses. Given the stress, burnout, and PTSD, why would anyone want to become a nurse in the modern day? Today I’m here with two second year nursing students at Mount Royal University, Mido Ibrahim and Neha Shake to figure out exactly how they feel about their stress and why they want to be nurses.
