This week on At The Nurses’ Station, Kelly and Sam tackle a topic every nurse wrestles with at some point: when do you know it’s time to move on? 💭 From burnout to boredom, and from “losing your mystique” to outgrowing your comfort zone, the conversation takes a raw, funny, and honest look at how nurses evolve over time — both personally and professionally. The hosts dig into everything from team dynamics and skill stagnation to the myth that “every nurse can do any job.” Through laughter and brutal honesty, they reflect on the balance between fitting in socially and staying sharp clinically, and what happens when the scales tip too far either way. 💬 “You can love your unit, respect your coworkers, and still feel that itch for something new, and that’s okay.” Whether you’ve been in your department for two years or twenty, this episode offers a relatable glimpse into the self-awareness it takes to recognize when a chapter is closing. Plus, Sam and Kelly share how they’re adding new experiences without jumping ship, proving that growth doesn’t always mean goodbye. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts. ✉️ Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about the realities of healthcare, the work, the people, and the laughter that keeps it all together.
