TXT us your feedback!! <3 your fayce!

You’re mid-shift, mid-crisis, and maxed out. You’ve got zero privacy, 30 seconds (if that), and an urgent need to NOT spiral. In this episode of The Ritual Nurse, we’re diving deep into how to emotionally regulate when you’re still on the floor—with tools that actually work.

You’ll learn two trauma-informed, DBT-inspired skills made specifically for nurses:

Code Blue to Code You (a must after any traumatic event)
The IV Push (for that mid-shift, panic-tinged chaos)

We break down why they work, how to do them in real time, and exactly when to use them—even if you’re a psych nurse, med-surg warrior, floor manager, or burnt-out exec. Trauma isn’t just for codes, and regulation isn’t a luxury. It’s your lifeline.

Plus:

A guided mid-episode reset (pause, hydrate, breathe)
This week’s Coffee, Crystals & Divination
