Tired, RN

Welcome back for another episode after way too long! Listen in as I quickly recap (word vomit) my year, talk about my new job, and spill the beans on things to come. See ya later 2021!

Hey guys! I'm back to recording some new stuff after a nice little break! In this episode, I give you guys a little life update and talk about my own challenges with mental wellness, and resilience.

Listen to me and my friend Anita talk about our first times- nurse edition! Since I oriented her as a new grad, she and I have been two peas in a pod, and that can come with some funny and disastrous results. We talk about anxiety that we faced when Covid first started, the friendship that we’ve built since I initially oriented her, and discuss navigating being a new grad in covid land.

Listen in to me and one of my favorite people/physical therapists talk about the different challenges that come with dealing with the many egos and personalities of the interdisciplinary team. It’s a “check your ego at the door” kind of talk as we delve deep into how our egos can inhibit our growth, professional development, and how it’s impacted a generation of individuals to feel entitled to praise they haven’t earned- earning the moniker “the participation trophy” generation.

Listen in to get front row seats into the mind of a male nurse! Join us as we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly including team dynamics, what we face in the work field, and recount the crazy but hilarious situations we’ve found ourselves in.

Listen in to me and my work sister/twin as we discuss being young person in a leadership role- the challenges that come with it, our successes and failures, and how we came to terms with being the “boss baby” on our unit.

Listen to me and my friends talk about relationships, friendships, and how nursing takes over our lives. It turns into a bit of a story time episode so listen in to hear us laugh through horrible yet hilarious experiences that only healthcare workers could understand and relate to.

Happy Anniversary Covid! Listen in as I recount my first experiences with covid, laugh about a horrible and hilarious experience, and talk about personal and professional growth.

In this episode I talk to my friend Mariah, about burnout, mental health, and self care- and her take on it as a social worker. We chat about old times, how covid has affected our work, happiness, and laugh about some of the shenanigans we used to get into.

Today I bring on 2 of my closest friends to talk about friendships, how healthcare intensifies that dynamic, and the hardships that we’ve experienced. Listen in on the good, the bad, and the funny!

I bring on another one of my friends, Mindy! We talk about our time as new grads, how we cope with what we see and do at work, and talk about some fun experiences and stories we’ve picked up along the way.

Today I talk about mental health and the need to focus on yourself and take care of oneself. Healthcare workers are facing immense pressure in the workplace and we aren’t ok.

I brought on one of my day ones, Danielle! Dani has been by my side since the start of our nursing careers and has seen so much as an ED RN at a level 1 trauma center. We talk about nursing school, old times, how covid is hitting us and how we really feel about it all.

2020 has been a wild year. As covid ramps up, hear my take on how I’m doing (here’s a clue: not well lol), what I’m going through, and reminiscing on old times.

I got the covid vaccine! Listen in on how I’m feeling so far, my rambles about what I think of COVID and how it’s affecting nurses (namely me) at the bedside. Stay safe y’all
