About this episode
Why do so many nurses leave during their first year? In this episode, Dr. Rhiannon Winsor speaks with nurse leader Heidi Sanborn about the growing challenges facing new nurses as they enter the workforce. They discuss burnout, workplace pressures, gaps between academic training and clinical practice, and the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing education. The conversation also explores how healthcare leaders can better support nurses by recognizing early warning signs of disengagement, fostering professional growth, and strengthening partnerships between academic programs and clinical organizations.
