KIND ONES

Nurse Lia Argyrakis embarks on what could be her final travel nursing contract as she faces the burnout and lack of support plaguing the post-pandemic American healthcare system. Driven by the deep sense of fulfillment and purpose she gets from being a caregiver, Lia struggles to find a balance with a job that she loves deeply but takes so much from her physically, mentally and emotionally. Nurses, the foot soldiers of the hospital system, have been pushed too hard, paid too little, and undervalued for too long – the result is a healthcare system on the brink of collapse. While one third of the nursing workforce approaches retirement age and new nursing grad numbers are dwindling at alarming rates, the veteran nurses who have held the system together are now burning out leaving the bedside at an unprecedented rate. KIND ONES follows Lia during her travel contract at a small rural hospital as she and her colleagues confront the challenges of their profession and begin to find balance and rediscover the joy that drew them to nursing in the first place.
