Katie Duke: 我毕业后一边在临床实习中承受巨大的压力，一边隐藏着家庭暴力的秘密，我不想回家。那段关系变成了身体暴力，每周有五六个晚上被打。我典当了我的高中戒指来换酒给他。我独自一人，感到羞愧，没有朋友。我看到一个护理学校的广告，决定去当护士。在护理学校期间，我仍然遭受虐待，但我对家人隐瞒了这件事。后来我发现他和另一个女人在一起，我崩溃了。他用拳头打晕了我，这促使我最终离开了。离开那段关系后，我开始了新的生活，在医院工作。我需要离开圣路易斯，所以我去了纽约当旅行护士。我在纽约茁壮成长，纽约让我想要变得更好。 Nurse John: 如果你害怕回家，这说明你和伴侣的关系是不健康的。如果你正在经历类似的处境，要知道你并不孤单，有人爱你，这并不是你的终点。当你没有任何人可以依靠时，即使那个人虐待你，你也会选择留下。你的过去不能定义你现在的样子，重要的是你现在是谁，以及你将成为什么样的人。

In this powerful episode of I Beg Your Pardon this Nursing Week, we sit down with Katie Duke — nurse, trailblazer, and one of the first influencers to put nursing on the social media map. Katie opens up about her early struggles with life, abuse, her career as a nurse, moving from the country to the city, and the tough path she walked to rebuild her life in New York City. From working night shifts to becoming a nationally recognized voice in healthcare, Katie shares how she turned pain into purpose, setbacks into strength, and built a brand without losing her identity. Raw, real, and deeply inspiring — this is the story behind the scrubs.
