This episode touches on post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD in nursing. Podcast host highlights the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria for PTSD and then proceeds to cite how nurses could be dealing with undiagnosed and untreated PTSD without their knowledge.  

I became a nurse in 2007 and have had stints in the emergency department, medical intensive care unit, neuro intensive care unit, coronary care unit, post anesthesia care unit, electrophysiology lab, flight nursing in the U.S. Air Force, and clinical nursing instructorship. I served as an FDA drug investigator for four years. I am U.S. Air Force combat veteran and am currently on active duty as a Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Public Health Service. My mission is to help nurses find their voice and thrive by providing helpful tips on matters ranging from resiliency to career advice on civilian and military nursing.
