Burnout is hitting nurses hard as we barrel toward the pandemic’s second anniversary. Nearly one in five nurses in Colorado plans to quit their job in the near future, according to an American Nurses Foundation survey.

Rynders shares that her organization, The Clinic, is helping nurses at hospitals across Denver through art and play-based workshops.
