"God had my back throughout my program." -ICU Nurse Jen

In this powerful conversation, ICU Nurse Jennifer King, RN, opens the door to what it truly means to care for patients in the most critical moments of their lives. From the emotional weight of high‑acuity care to the quiet courage required to advocate, ask questions, and keep learning, Jennifer shares wisdom that every nurse — new or seasoned — can carry into their next shift.

We talk about:

  • The real expectations placed on ICU nurses

  • How courage shows up in clinical decision‑making

  • The role of compassion in high‑stress environments

  • What new nurses should know before stepping into critical care

  • How to stay grounded when the unit feels overwhelming

    This episode is a reminder that nursing is both a calling and a craft — one shaped by humility, strength, and the willingness to grow through every experience.
