to The Broken Shift, the unfiltered podcast where real nurses say what everyone else is too tired—or too scared—to say out loud.

Hosted by Nat (@thebedsiderebel) and her co-host Marcus J(Her Alter Ego) , a former trauma nurse and mental health advocate, this show dives into the untold stories behind the badge: burnout, toxic leadership, shift culture, compassion fatigue, and the soul work it takes to stay human in healthcare.

From supply room confessions to emotional debriefs at 3 a.m., The Broken Shift is the breakroom you wish existed—the one where healing happens, laughter is medicine, and truth is the chart we all need to read.

Whether you're a bedside rebel, a shift survivor, or a nurse on the brink of your next move, pull up a chair. Let’s talk about it.

🩺 Because nursing shouldn’t break you.
💥 And silence? Isn’t safe anymore.

🚨 VA Nurse Shortage Crisis – Our Veterans Deserve Better! 🚨
THERE ARE 4.5 MILLION NURSES IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE MAJORITY OF THEM WORK FOR THE VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (VHA)

The *Veterans Health Administration (VHA)* is the *largest employer of nurses in the U.S.,* yet *92% of VA facilities* are reporting *severe nursing shortages.*

Now, with a *federal hiring freeze* and *mass firings by the DOGE**, the crisis is spiraling out of control. **Veterans are waiting longer for care, nurses are burning out, and hospitals are at a breaking point.*

💥 *Who will care for our veterans if we keep losing nurses?*
💥 *Why is the government gutting healthcare instead of fixing it?*
💥 *Where is the accountability?*

📢 *We need oversight, better staffing, and REAL solutions—NOW.*

👉 *WATCH, SHARE, and TAG @DeptVetAffairs @POTUS @SecVetAffairs @ElonMusk*
👉 *COMMENT: Should the government be held accountable for fixing this crisis?* If Not, Then Who?
