Let’s talk about anxiety. How often do you feel it? Can you sense it coming? Does it hit you like a  ton of bricks every time you start thinking about your pre-shift prep? Do you miss out on true enjoyment of your off days because it feels short lived?

I will admit, I didn’t suffer with a ton of pre-shift anxiety but it’s because I used to suffer from EXTREME anxiety back when I was teaching. So, when I did become a nurse I knew I needed to develop ways to keep my anxiety at bay. I found that developing a routine that worked best for me was crucial in alleviating stress and pre-shift anxiety and I want to help you do the same. 

On this episode I chat about: 

• My personal experience with anxiety
• The importance of incorporating YOU time and doing things that make you feel GOOD before you head into your shift
• Things to avoid in order to avoid anxiety
• My personal pre-shift routine 
• And more!

Pre-shift anxiety is so real, there’s no denying that. And when you first get started it’s normal to expect it a bit! But it’s also important to learn how to best ease your anxiety so you can feel your most empowered - both on and off shift!
