In this episode I talk about team dynamics. "Playing nice in the sandbox" means you don't have to like one another, but all team members will need to express mutual respect and accept each others contribution to the overall care of the patient.

The Nurse Niche - Episode 6 Playing nice in the sandbox (made with Spreaker)

The Change of Shift Podcast offers a unique learning perspective on the nursing profession. 
We all learn the hard way that nursing is not easy. Each episode Sean hears from Nurses, students, educators, and professional influencers who have learned to survive the real world of nursing and its big brother the healthcare community at-large. 
As a profession, the “change of shift” is a moment Nurses have transformed into a malleable coping mechanism and buffering tool. A tool created to not only ensure quality patient care, but to also cement self-reliance, self-preservation and good ole’ fashion survivability.
Guest interviews help illuminate and explain these outliers and essential non-essentials sitting on the periphery of the profession. 
Each episode Sean and his guests offer survival tips, how-to hacks and honest opinions on how to not only survive nursing, but learn to thrive and maybe even love it. 
The Change of Shift podcast offers an edgy approach with a transparent brutal-honest attitude on what it takes to survive as a Nurse.

Many of us think we know what Nursing specialty we will pursue once we graduate. That the answer will just magically appear.
The truth is, as a Nurse, you'll change your mind several times before you find your 'niche'.

The Nurse Niche - Episode 14 What area of Nursing? (made with Spreaker)

Even with all the support, growth in our profession comes down to self-confidence. The feeling of 'knowing' what you're doing.
But be careful you don't turn confidence into blind arrogance.

The Nurse Niche - Episode 13 Self confidence not arrogance (made with Spreaker)

Did you ever notice how Nurses share 'war stories'. Figuratively speaking. We communicate with nurses through shared experiences. It's then we realize we're not alone.
