In the second episode of the End of Year Reflections, I reflect on my experience of starting as a Graduate Nurse starting in ICU, and the challenges that it had brought. As you’ll hear, it has been the things that I did not expect to be a challenge, that have been the most challenging. In this episode, I really tried to let down my guard, to bring you an episode that is as transparent, and as true of how I’ve felt as possible. I hope you enjoy.
