The COVID-19 pandemic created unimaginable situations for patients, their families and health care workers, including nurses who put their own lives on the line to care for highly contagious patients. Why would someone do this? Nurses and most other health care workers are inculcated with what is called a “duty to care”—an obligation to do whatever is necessary to care for patients, even if it puts the worker at some risk.  Nurses went from being heroes cheered in the streets during the height of the pandemic to the targets of violence. Dr. Diana Mason, registered nurse and host of HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio interviewed Drs. Jodi Sutherland and Rosemary Collier about their study on nurses’ duty to care in the May issue of the American Journal of Nursing. Drs. Sutherland and Collier are registered nurses and assistant professors at the Decker College of Nursing and Health Sciences, State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on May 29, 2024.
