We often get so caught up in analyzing our flaws and lessons, that we forget to give ourselves praise and grattitude. In todays episode, we talk about how the decisions we make today, are our future selves grateful moments.

You will change so what seems challenging now becomes easy. You have the power my friend - now own it!

As nurses, we go through a lot with our coworkers, and feeling united and connected with our team can make all the difference when things get tough. But if you don’t currently have the relationship you want with your coworkers, or you just want to form even tighter bonds, join me in this episode and I’ll help you create that work-family dynamic you’ve been longing for.

It can feel intimidating stepping onto your shift without a plan – crossing your fingers, *hoping* you will get the meds passed, the assessments charted, and maybe even squeeze in a break or two. If you’re feeling like your shifts are absolute chaos, or maybe they just need a little bit of fine-tuning, check out this episode where I will help you layout a system for success.

Getting started as a nurse is equal parts exciting, and equal parts totally overwhelming. I remember as a new nurse over-analyzing my mistakes, feeling like a burden to my team, and dreading the day orientation would end and I’d be “on my own.” If these things are weighing on your mind, come hang out with me in this episode. I’ll offer you some insights I wish I had as a new nurse, so you can tap into some perspectives that will serve you now and throughout your entire career.

Ever feel stuck in a relationship, wishing the other person would fix their side of things so you could have the healthy relationship you long for? If so, I have the best news for you. In this episode I’m going to teach you how to revamp every relationship in your life, without nagging, manipulating, or waiting for the other person to change. Ready to take your power back?

Have you heard this blood-chilling tale before - "Nurses Eat Their Young"?? Sounds MORTIFYING, right? But this is what we tell new nurses all the time, with lots of terrifying anecdotes to back it up!

So if you're a new nurse or a nurse who thinks "nurses eat their young" is just the truth, be sure to join me for this episode where I'll help you see and create more compassion in the nursing world.
