A nurse frustrated by staffing shortages and career obstacles leaves hospital job to drive 18-wheeler

After years of caring for surgery patients at a Canadian hospital, a veteran nurse has left the profession to start a new, high-demand career as a long-haul truck driver.
Leah Gorham, 42, said she loved being a nurse but frustrations over persistent staff shortages -- which she said started before the Covid-19 pandemic -- and a lack of advancement led her to look for new opportunities.
