Nursing is a beautiful profession, but it is also a stressful one. We are supporting people often at the lowest point in their lives, or at the end of their lives. That is not an easy burden to carry every day. On top of that, stressful and traumatic events (codes, rapid responses, withdrawing care, patient deaths, falls) are fairly common occurrences. So today, I want to talk about a few key things to practice after a stressful event to help yourself recover, at least a little bit, so that you can get back to your other patients. Unfortunately, nursing doesn't stop when things go wrong, on the contrary, it can move even faster.  So I hope to help you build up your toolbox so that you can support yourself and protect your mental health in and outside of the hospital.

I remember starting nursing school with ZERO healthcare experience, and watching my classmates coast through the material, already having a solid base of knowledge. I felt totally behind and overwhelmed trying to catch up. I also felt this same overwhelm when I transitioned into the Cath Lab with ZERO cardiac experience. Back to square one. If that resonates with you in any way, then this episode is for you. We chat about how to adjust if you have no experience, why it could actually help you in the long run, and a few tips to help you overcome the challenge. Trust me, you've got this!

Asking questions as a new nurse or student can feel intimidating at first. We are often afraid to interrupt care or "get in the way." We can also be afraid to look "stupid" or ask things we "should" know the answer to, especially when we are paired with nurses who are less than supportive. On this episode, we discuss these common barriers, but also tactical tips on how to grow your confidence with this practice and ask better questions in general. Asking questions is a VITAL part of your growth as a nurse since this profession requires lifelong learning. So let's abolish this fear that is often associated with admitting when you do not know. After all, you will never gain the knowledge if you never ask.

Let's chat about the idea of JOYFUL MOVEMENT and shifting our perspective when it comes to exercise and fitness. Movement is a celebration of what our body is capable of, not a punishment for the food we ate. We need to shift our perspective and mindset, and find a form of moving that makes us feel alive. Let's do it together!

Anyone else dread the chest tube? It's such a simple device, but it can feel so intimidating to interact with if you aren't familiar or exposed regularly. Let's chat about a few basics to boost your confidence for your next experience! We discuss why your patient might need a chest tube, how they work, the components/assembly, and important nursing considerations. My hope is that this episode can demystify these devices so that you can feel in control the next time your patient has a chest tube.

This week, we are breaking down the benefits of time under tension and focusing on slowing down during your resistance training. So many of us are only focused solely on calories burned that we blow through our workouts and try and get each movement done as quickly as possible. The reality is that SLOWER is truly the way to FASTER growth. Growth in terms of efficiency, building lean muscle, improving form, mastering complex movements, and getting strong. As an added bonus, slowing down will also decrease your risk of injury and improve recovery time. That is pretty powerful if you ask me.

This week, we have a pep talk style conversation inspired by the Biosphere 2. Sounds out there, I know. But I think you will vibe with this idea. The Biosphere is essentially an artificial, controlled environment built inside of a dome which includes various types of ecosystems. It is designed for research and experimentation, and one piece of information that they discovered upon its inception was all about TREES! The trees planted inside of the sphere would grow to a certain height and then topple over. After investigating, researchers discovered that the trees needed wind in order to properly grow and develop, otherwise they were too weak to survive. As you can imagine, this can be a powerful metaphor for the human journey. Lets talk about it!
