The New Economics Podcast: The Nursing Crisis


Friends who had to cancel plans to care for their elderly mom. Co-workers turn their phones up loud so they don’t miss calls about their disabled kids. Neighbors you have barely seen since their partner was diagnosed. We are surrounded by people with nursing challenges, yet they are often overlooked.

Author and activist Emily Kenway joins Aisha to discuss her new book Who Cares: Nursing’s Hidden Crisis and How We Can Fix It.
