© 2024 Things We Should've Learned in Nursing School
Description
Nursing can be hard, and nursing schools can’t possibly teach you everything you need to know. This podcast was created to help fill the gap between what you learned in nursing school and what is actually required for you to feel successful and happy as a nurse. It focuses on the non-technical skills needed to navigate challenges with your patients, their families, and your co-workers that are often over-looked.
Your host, Rachael Murray - RN, Neonatal Nurse Practitioner, Master Trainer - has almost 20 years of bedside nursing experience, and she’s been a personal and professional develop trainer for ten years. She’s helped thousands of professionals develop the confidence, communication and stress management skills they need to move their way through their nursing job - and life - with the level of confidence they desire.

Listen in and decide which one you need to start focusing on today! Thanks for listening! Don't forget to review and subscribe so ...

Whether we know it or not, most of us have manuals that we’ve written for how others should act, and then we get frustrated when they don’t comply. For nurses, learning to drop our manuals helps us get through our shifts with much less friction. But…we can’t let go of them until we realize they’re there in the first place. Thanks for listening!

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.

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...
