Why Glennae’s RX for Life® Is the Health Equity Solution Young Nurses Need Now
June 2, 2025
A recent survey has confirmed what many of us already knew but too few are willing to address out loud: racism and discrimination are not just patient issues — they are nurse issues. And for today’s younger health care professionals, the emotional toll is becoming unbearable.
According to the study, 30% of early-career clinicians ages 18–29 reported stress from witnessing racism and discrimination in the workplace. This is almost double the rate of all health care workers surveyed. These findings make one thing crystal clear: our youngest nurses and clinicians are not just burned out from the work — they’re burned out from the injustice.
At Glennae’s RX for Life®, we see this crisis for what it truly is: a moral injury, not just a staffing issue. And that’s why we’re not offering a Band-Aid solution — we’re delivering a comprehensive healing system.
The Hidden Cost of Being "The Good Nurse"
Young nurses were taught to care for others, but they were never taught how to care for themselves while navigating a system that too often undermines both their humanity and their professional integrity. They are working in environments that demand silent sacrifice, where standing up against inequity can feel like career suicide.
As a result, many early-career nurses are walking away. Not because they don’t love the work — but because they feel powerless in systems that routinely gaslight, punish, or ignore their lived experiences.
Glennae’s RX for Life® exists to interrupt that cycle.
A Solution Rooted in Real Experience and Real Equity
Unlike generic wellness programs or surface-level DEI trainings, Glennae’s RX for Life® is the Health Equity Solution Young Nurses Need Now and was founded by a nurse who lived the trauma of workplace discrimination — and came out on the other side with a blueprint for transformation.
Our programs, like the Practice the Care You Teach™ 6-week group coaching course, are designed specifically for nurses who are navigating burnout, moral injury, and toxic work environments. We don’t just offer “resilience tips.”
We deliver:
Trauma-informed education on navigating discrimination and protecting mental health
Care-centered leadership training for nurses ready to lead from wholeness
A legal and wellness-informed Protected Nurse™ Toolkit that empowers nurses to stand up without standing alone
A healing community that sees, hears, and supports their experience
Be Brave Book Bundle transforming the fearless employee to the fearless industry in just 40 daya
The Path Forward Is Equity-Centered, Not Performance-Driven
If the nursing crisis is to be solved, we must stop demanding more sacrifice and start offering real support. Gen Z nurses want meaning, justice, and dignity in their work — and they won’t stay in systems that treat them as disposable.
Health systems should take note: partnering with Glennae’s RX for Life® isn’t just a feel-good gesture — it’s a strategic investment in workforce retention, equity, and sustainability.
