I work in healthcare but not as a nurse. I'm in a somewhat obscure field that became pretty important during the pandemic (infection control). No one outside the hospital knew we existed before the pandemic. Then the pandemic hit, conspiracies' started to float around and we had to take our contact list off the public website as colleagues were receiving death threats. I can't even imagine what nurses have gone through being front line staff interacting with patients (and their families) all day. We need a zero-tolerance policy for families that verbally abuse front line staff, but instead they are often let off due to "stress of a family member in hospital" or the need for "family centered care".
