Let’s talk a bit about anxiety. 2020 was no doubt the year of the nurse. While this episode is geared towards newer nurses, it has great tips and reminders for those of us who are beginning our new career, new job, new specialty. Realize anxiety is normal, but you are stronger than your anxiety.
On this episode, I chat with you about tips and tricks to help what many of us deal with, anxiety.
My anxiety was a roaring monster every day in my brain as a new nurse.
I wasn’t smart enough .
I wasn’t good enough.
Nurses were happy to relay that information to each other, to management. I couldn’t see the toxic work environment, but I clung to these words as if my life depended on it and reminded myself my job was not about them. My job was caring for the sick, for the hurting, for all of those who did need me. I would find my ability to be a light and a gentle hand for those who my job WAS ABOUT. Take a listen and I hope you find strength today to be the greatest version of you.
