86: Why More Nurses Are Leaving Hospitals – The Truth You Need to Know!

Seeing abuse ignored, patient inequities brushed aside, and a culture where “the physician is always right” prevailed left Tammy Hurst emotionally drained and profoundly disillusioned. The system she had dedicated her life to no longer aligned with the values that had drawn her to nursing in the first place. She knew she couldn’t continue working in an environment that prioritized efficiency over empathy, profit over patient care. But walking away from the only career she had ever known was terrifying. And yet, she did. Tammy found a way to help people heal holistically—without suffering compassion fatigue and burnout herself. She discovered nurse coaching, a path that allowed her to integrate self-discovery, emotional well-being, and true patient advocacy into her work. In this conversation, she shares the next chapter of her story—her transition out of the hospital system, the empowerment that came with finding her mission, and the ripple effect of coaching on both personal and professional growth.
