Lacey is joined by Nurses Inspire Nurses Founder, Cat Golden. Working as a pediatric nurse for seven years, Cat knew firsthand what it was like to feel exhausted and isolated. She also knew she was not alone and that many of her coworkers felt the exact same way which is why she created Nurses Inspire Nurses; to support nurses as humans first, and nurses second.  Over the past four years Cat and the Nurses Inspire Nurses team have helped tens of thousands of nurses go from feeling tired and alone to appreciated and supported. Through community, merch, events, and an endless amount of fun, Nurses Inspire Nurses has grown exponentially, attracting national media attention including features in Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, and an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

In this episode I’m discussing the shame that is often felt when you are not where you want to be within your nursing career. I recently chatted with two different nurses who are experiencing this and I know they aren’t alone. I’ve been there myself. As the definition of what a “good job” is has changed over time and we demand more from our careers, it’s important to recognize where you’re at and how you can get to the place of where you’d like to be. I’m sharing my tips on shifts you can start making today in order to get where you’d like to be.    Be one of the first 10 people to enroll in ENM 2.0 (limited availability)   Join the Empowered Nurse Network   Let’s Connect:  https://theempowerednurse.org/ https://www.instagram.com/theempowerednurses/ https://www.instagram.com/laceymagen/
