Things We Should've Learned in Nursing School

After over ten years of facilitating trainings on stress management, I’ve noticed two things. First, there’s only one sure-fire way to decrease stress in the moment, and chances are you’re not doing it (especially at work), and second, there are 5 categories where - if you focused your energy - you would have decreased stress and anxiety as a beautiful bi-product. Listen in and decide which one you need to start focusing on today!

We all know that as nurses, we wear many different hats. What we’re often not taught is that one of those hats is that of a salesperson. Two things we are constantly selling people on are our ideas and ourselves, and we usually don’t even recognize it. This week we’ll focus on selling our ideas as we talk about why getting buy-in from others is so much better than compliance, how it can decrease stress and frustration, and one quick and easy tool to get you there.

How easy is it for you to talk about what you’re good at? Or to tell people when you’ve done something really well? If you ever find yourself holding back, do not miss this episode. The general assumption is that women tend to hold back their self-praise out of lack of confidence, but I think there’s often something invisible, and much stronger, at play. We’ll talk about what that is and why we all need to learn to overcome it - for our individual well-being and the advancement of the nursing profession.
