The Gritty Nurses talk about how we chose our podcast name and share some personal stories about failures in our lives, how we overcame them, and when to cut your losses. What's the real story vs. what's on paper? Sara goes over her "resume of failures", trying again, dealing with crushed expectations after graduation, and failing an important exam. Amie talks about exam debacles, getting her head out of the clouds, and being true to yourself no matter what.  Accept your wins just as graciously as your losses! Everyone has the ability to be a Gritty Nurse.

Being Gritty in Your Everyday Life: Failures, Overcoming Them and Pushing the Boundaries

The Gritty Nurse is back, and NO TOPIC is off-limits! Launching in September 2025 with host Amie Archibald Varley, this podcast is dedicated to amplifying the voices of nurses and others who work in healthcare to explore the most pressing issues they face.

Join Amie as she continues to take a deep dive into powerful and often uncomfortable topics. Though shared experriences, storytelling and the discussions surrounding the intersection of power, we will navigate the challenges facing healthcare nationally and internationally--as of course--challenge the status quo. The show's core belief remains unwavering: that compassion is the through understanding diverse narratives and perspectives is KEY.

Amie will continue to explore hot-button issues like mental health, social justice, women's health, and the daily challenges within the nursing profession. The Gritty Nurse is more than just a podcast—it's a community where nurses and healthcare workers can feel heard, empowered, and recognized as the community leaders they truly are.

Change is HERE.
