HealthcareStaffing & Scheduling4HighNurse$ implied

A depressed nurse is struggling to continue bedside nursing due to low capacity and overstimulation, and needs a nursing job with lower acuity and fewer days per week that she can afford while prioritizing mental health recovery.

Existing job boards and staffing agencies don't filter nursing roles by mental health suitability, acuity level, or schedule flexibility, nor do they connect nurses with supportive employers or resources.
