For my assignment, I am interested in writing a speech that addresses inadequate staffing at medical facilities and the negative effects it has on healthcare workers and their families. I chose a speech because I believe that this topic requires a dominant tone in order to persuade the audience why change must occur. I need to share my own experiences working in the medical field and depict an accurate image of what it is really like for our burnt out workers. I want to touch upon my experiences as a devalued nursing aide, working with the prestigious hierarchy, constant exposure to bacteria and how the hard workers are truly affected by this unfair treatment. I want to take this chance and also share that I have taken time out of my shift to interview two nurses named Kelly and Sharmane discussing their views on their job and the pandemic.
