My name is Megan Kirn. I'm a 30-year-old registered nurse in Sikeston, Missouri. My father was also a nurse — an LPN and charge nurse at a nursing home. Watching him care so deeply for his residents inspired me to follow in his footsteps. I remember his mental health was very poor. He was experiencing what I now know is called burnout, and he had no career support. He saw a psychiatrist. He was trying to get better. He died by suicide when I was 15. Earlier this year, I survived a suicide attempt of my own. I'm telling you this because what happened to me wasn't just a personal crisis — it was a system failure. When I needed help, I found the gap: there was outpatient care, and there was emergency hospitalization, but nothing in between. I had insurance. I was willing to get help. And I still paid $1,500 out of pocket for an intensive outpatient program because my employer-provided insurance wouldn't cover it. Female nurses die by suicide at nearly twice the rate of women in the general population (Davis et al., JAMA Psychiatry, 2021). We spend our careers caring for people through the worst moments of their lives — trauma, grief, death, emergencies — and the "support" we get is a pizza party and a resilience webinar. We save others. But who is saving us? Too many nurses don't seek help because they're afraid of what it will mean for their license. Getting treatment should never threaten the career you fought for. I'm asking Congress to fund a five-year pilot program for nurse mental-health treatment and recovery: residential care, nurse-specific treatment, confidential navigation, telehealth access, peer support, and financial assistance — independently evaluated, and expanded to other healthcare workers and high-trauma professions if it works. I'm not asking for myself. I'm asking for the next nurse who says "I'm not okay" and needs somewhere to go. Add your name. Nurses spend their lives taking care of everyone else. It's time to take care of nurses, too. If you or a loved one is struggling, call or text 988 — 24/7, answered by real counselors. You don't have to face this alone.
