Today, we’re talking about something that most nurses have felt — but few organizations are willing to name honestly.

Burnout.

But what if burnout isn’t about resilience?
What if it isn’t about self-care?
What if it’s actually an ethical issue?

My guest today is Aimee Ellis, nurse executive and author of Flatline Ethics. Aimee argues that when nurses are chronically overwhelmed, morally distressed, and unsupported, that’s not a staffing inconvenience.

That’s an ethical breakdown.

Recently debuting as a Top 10 New Release in Health Policy on Amazon, the book argues that nurse burnout is not a personal weakness — it’s a leadership failure.

If you’ve ever felt moral distress, invisible, or asked to carry the weight of a broken system — this conversation is for you.

In the five-minute snippet: Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, Aimee is comin’ for you.
