#292: BONUS! What is Nurse Shock?

I remember being a new grad nurse and foolishly thinking my biggest challenge would be learning critical care pathophysiology. Boy was I wrong. Nursing is a complex job and the learning phase involves a whole lot more than learning about how to care for patients. It also involves learning how to care for ourselves, too. In this episode, I’m talking with Stephanie Griffeth about a concept that highlights how vitally important it is that nurses take as excellent care of themselves as they do their patients, especially in the beginning of their careers. Click “play” to learn all about nurse shock, brilliantly explained using metaphors your nurse brain already understands. — Are you a new grad or almost new grad who is looking for support as you make your transition into your career? I’m creating a program to help you do just that! Learn more about Confident Nurse Academy here! If this episode helped you, please take a moment to rate and review the show!

In this show, Maureen Osuna, MSN, RN (Nurse Mo) breaks down a wide range of nursing school concepts so they’re easy to understand. Each episode aims to help nursing students improve their study techniques, pass nursing school exams, and feel more confident in clinical. If you’re nervous about nursing school, not “getting it” in lecture, or feeling overwhelmed with all the information you have to learn, this podcast will help you optimize your study time so you can learn more with less stress. While nursing school is challenging, it doesn’t have to be impossible. When concepts are explained in a way that “just makes sense”, nursing students have better recall on exams, feel more confident working with patients in clinical, and are better prepared for NCLEX. Nurse Mo understands the struggles nursing students face and draws on more than 11 years of clinical experience to make nursing school less intimidating. Each episode removes the “fluff” and focuses on the key things a nursing student (and nurse) needs to know about a variety of disease conditions. The show also provides tips for succeeding in nursing school, guidance for students and new nurses, and insider information to help you excel at the bedside.
