Registered nurse Amy Halvorsen will work her last shift at Sydney's Westmead Hospital on Monday after resigning from the job she loves in protest at ongoing staff shortages that she says have left her burnt out and anxious.
After four years as a nurse, she's decided she could no longer keep working in the "chaotic and dangerous" conditions she saw every day on the wards.
The 32-year-old said she was speaking out to raise awareness about the chronic staff shortages that were crippling the state's hospitals.
"I am nervous about coming forward, however, I believe this is becoming a health crisis and the public needs to know how dire the situation is inside the hospitals right now," she said.
